This just in: uTorrent supports apps, meaning the world has gone crazy. I haven’t used them yet, but I downloaded:
- TED app (shows you TED videos, lets you download them)
- Vodo (P2P distribution of movies)
- Virus Guard (I know only nubs get viruses in torrents, but hell, why not install it?)
- TuneUp (gets metadata and whatnot for your music, and alleges you will hear about concerts in your area based on your library)
This could be good. TuneUp in particular seems like it could be great. I remember dreaming up a service, years ago, that would tell you about concerts and new albums coming out. Which may sound ridiculous if you can be bothered to follow this stuff, but every once in a while I have to sit down and check every damn band on wikipedia to see if they have a new album. Pain in the ass.
I went out a couple of weeks ago and saw a poster for an Unexpect show. It was October 23rd. The show was October 22nd. Nooooooooooo!
So TuneUp could be the solution. Anyway uTorrent has apps now so if you use it go grab some. And if you look closely you’ll see a uTorrent 2.0.4 skin if you don’t like the new look.
