How do you kill time?

Id like to hear some of the creative ways you guys use your Vibrant to kill time at work. I obviously am expecting answers like games, music, ebooks, podcasts, etc....but im also hoping to get some fairly unique ideas that may not be commonly thought of. Let em rip!

Seriously though, between working 65-75 Hrs. per week, there's not a whole lot of time left over for much.
Some games: Leo's R/C Flight sim, Gun Bros. Then some flashing, modem changes (still looking for best data/battery life combo) and having a brew or two...

i fought free tickets to go see him last year cause of crap like that but i folded and eventually went. put on a great show

they had 1 good cd, which only 3 songs where decent. Yeah, I like them, but they are over played on the radio at one time and killed. Don't see any reason to go see them really. Its cool and all, but they are old school and played out with nothing I can remember that I would want to see in concert.. this is just my opinion.. which means.. jack ****

OH MY GOD! your right....Why is there a music player on my phone. I hope someone makes a ROM and removes the music player. Come to think of it, I recieved the email about the concert from an app. Maybe google will find the app and ban it from the market...idiot.

If any lag it's going to be on the carrier side of it. [Say, when you use 2GB the first two days on Tmobile and go to Edge speeds or the same with Verizon]
Not the server side.

Depending, obviously, but was more of a joke than anything. I'm pretty pumped for this though. I know some people are going to be bummed about it being a personal music locker essentially - for the forseeable future - but being able to put up a ton of music is what I really want.
And 20k? That's stupid big. Just hope it's not too long of a wait. Lucky XOOMers.

I downloaded the music app from the market just now. It's the same music app that leaked on here a couple weeks ago. I also signed up for my beta pass. I am patiently waiting just like I did for the google voice pass.

FYI, just found this on Gizmodo:
http://ca.gizmodo.com/5800490/google-will-remove-your-music-from-its-cloud-if-it-infringes-on-copyrights
Via: Gizmodo
Word from Google IO is that Google Music will delete user MP3s, if the copyright holder has a legitimate claim against their music being on the server. And it will use the same backend tech to do so as YouTube.
For end users, this means that album/song leaks and pirated music will not be tolerated. And though it seems like it will be difficult to distinguish what's pirated and what's not, Google will probably use that same analysis tech they use for playlists to verify you have the right to upload that track to Google Music (spectral analysis and/or watermarks could expose rips from different sources). And that means if you've happened to download a leak or any unauthorized rip from the internet, then uploaded it to Google Music, it could be taken down.
And not that Google is wrong for doing so, but that will kill the appeal of Google Music for some people out there. [Google IO]

Indeed. Not really surprised though. Will be interesting.

Emulators pulled from market

seems as if some emulators were pulled would this mean that there wont be anymore emulator on the android market and i remember this happening to the psx emulator as well
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/29/android-markets-most-popular-emulators-disappear-without-a-trac/
Here is the link for the emulators taken down

The emulator I just downloaded from Amazon app store is gone too. Amazingly enough the bios are still there.

It doesn't make sense that they just now pulled them down... If google didn't want them on the market why did it take them so long to take them off?
Something seems a bit fishy.

I really want to track down the psx emulator still, does it work well on the EVO?

i noticed that to. i bought the damn things, if i cant use em, refund me. ><

In the comments people are talking about the fact that apparently the developer of these emulators that were pulled stole some of his code from someone else.
[A GPL violation]

idc if he stole it or not, if i paid for em, then i shouldve at the LEAST gotten an email saying they were being pulled, if not a full refund.

got a email from sprint about the new Qik

and thought i should share
I'll copy and paste everything cause im lazy
Cool New App
You probably heard the big news, but Qik was acquired by Skype earlier this year. And we’ve been working hard to release our latest rev, adding some great new features. Now you should be able to enjoy live video chat with everyone you know while you’re on the go—even your friends who use iPhones. Yep. That’s right. The new & improved version of Qik Video by Sprint* enables Sprint EVO users to video chat live with anyone who uses an iPhone or Android over 3G, 4G* and WiFi. Plus, you can still instantly record and share videos with your Facebook friends, Twitter followers, on YouTube and more.
*If you have anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, including multiple apps, delete it/them.
**iOS devices do not currently utilize a 4G network.
Save Video & Update Now!
Qik! Follow these steps so you can see what (and who) you're missing!
Save your videos!
Check to see what version of Qik you've got.
IMPORTANT: If you have Qik Video Connect-or anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, even multiple apps-hit DELETE! (It's the ONLY way you'll be able to enjoy all Qik Video by Sprint has to offer!)
Download Qik Video by Sprint!
Check and update your HTV EVO software, too.
Brand New Policies
And because we’re now Skype, we have some new policies in place and our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy have both changed. Effective immediately, the Skype Terms of Use will govern your use of Qik’s software, products and websites and your personal information will be processed in accordance with the Skype Privacy Policy. No action is necessary if you agree with these changes. But if you don’t, you’ll want to review your termination rights in Section 11 of our Terms of Use.
Thank you! We appreciate your support. Keep Qik'king!
LOL @ Qik'king

Yeah that's weird but that app is actually useful though.

Got the same email, but my work area has little 3G coverage and usually roaming. Tried videochat when it first came out and kept dropping off calls. If the coverage was better in my area I'd prolly use this more often.

I agree, despite the name I use tikl all the time. One of the most used / longest used apps on my phone. It great that it works on all android and iphones no matter what the network. The developer is constantly improving it also. Not sure why there is not pay/donate/adfree version.
