How do you kill time? - Vibrant General

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...

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.

Anyone else got the Google Music Beta?

i just got the email and installed it and not impressed so far. everything is old music, its pretty useless to me unless im not using it right.
Yeah, I do as well. Thing is, you use your own music ... so the music should be the least of your problems. Unless I'm reading this wrong.
If anything the UI could be revamped. No real complaints from me.

I hope i get my invite soon. But i need some help guys.......
I have a bunch of music and full albums but some how the details/tagging like track #,artist,and genre got messed up and im looking for a simple easy tagging app to fix it. Does anyone have one they use or know of?
I'm sure there are some formidable, if not better options. I haven't heard a mention of Limewire for what seems like years. So long as you get it done, I suppose.
That's why I like the idea of this so far; just put your music up and it is available all over. Was already using different means to achieve as much, and so this has definitely sufficed so far.
Can't wait to see final call. Cost, etc. I don't personally need a music purchase service, but I don't speak for the masses either.

Jelly Bean Search vs. Siri!

I can't wait till we see this on the Vibrant. Check this out!
I honestly do not think their comparable.
Siri still has a + side to it, for example you can ask it something in any way you want to and it will reply, Google Now does not, yet anyways.
Anything else, Google Now has done better so far, organization, information, etc.
Sir I seems more life like but information providing is not that great but with Now you have to say it like you are googling it
