Froyo coming to Vibrant and Captivate mid-October

Normally I would not write on such a story that Froyo is actually finally even coming to the Vibrant but this is just one of those times where if you put all of the Samsung news, Facebook updates and official tweets together, that you just think that this is actually true and finally going to arrive for us Vibrant users on T-Mobile.

Now, before I finally get to this story that will make you further believe it, you may already know or not that 2.2 Froyo was leaked for the Captivate. However, you cannot flash this or other versions on the Vibrant, even if the Vibrant barely different than the Captivate. I recommend waiting for the official build, even if leaked before OTA over custom roms unless others have made aware that are safe to flash and no issues reported.

Before I get to the story, this is what one of the Official Samsung Twitter accounts tweeted:

T-Mobile & Samsung hear your questions about timing of Vibrant update. Look for more info on OTA next week. Thank you for your patience.

Scott Young from TalkAndroid made a post today stating that he had bumped into someone from Samsung and after a while of talking he finally asked when Froyo was coming to the Galaxy S. He stated “mid-October” for the Vibrant and Captivate. Though he pointed out that it will take a little longer for the Epic 4G and Fascinate to get Froyo because they have CDMA. On another note, 2.2 was leaked for the Captivate as I stated above if you didn’t know.

Now this is coming from me, but Samsung did promise to have 2.2 shipped out to all Galaxy S phones by the end of this year, so even if you had to wait another few weeks for you Epic 4G and Fascinate users, you won’t have to wait long as long as they fulfill their promise. I am sure they will.

Goodbye GeoCities

Today GeoCities closes forever. Not just closing but being deleted, forever. I remember back in the 90’s when I did something? with GeoCities or maybe that was Angelfire. I cannot remember which but either way, those days are pretty much gone. Surprising people still use such free hosted sites though, some companies do it great while others fail to upgrade and just are stored as wasted space.

GeoCities was started in 1994 then later bought out by Yahoo in 1999. Earlier this year in April, Yahoo announced they would no longer be accepting new registrations and gave users more than enough time to save their content. As well as let users visitors know their site would be closing or moving. If you are interested in reading more about GeoCities closing check out a nice post about it over at LATimes.com or ComputerWorld.com.

Henry Poole Is Here

Watched this movie last night with my friend. Wow, such a great movie is all I have to say, sad though too but great ending. Honestly to me, this is one of those many movies out there that you should at least see once in your life. My friend said she liked it as well.
Luke Wilson just once again proves to me that he is an incredible actor. This movie should definitely get nominated for an oscar. Radha Mitchell also plays amazing in this movie, loved her in Man on Fire and many other movies she has been in. Their acting and moments together are incredible.
I would really recommend watching this movie whenever you get a chance too.

Babylon A.D.

Last night I watched this movie with a friend of mine. Her thoughts first on this movie was that it was just alright though she obviously did like Vin Diesel in the shower scene, heh.
I think this movie could of been so much better. So I would have to say it was just alright too. It was not an absolute terrible movie though. There are for sure so many better movies that have already come out this year or coming out before you should sit down and see this one unless you are interested. That does not mean do not ever see this movie though. It had a lot of awesome scenes and what not. Vin Diesel is awesome, I am a fan. The movie seemed long but it was really short (1 hour and 22 minutes).
It is hard to say if it was a little long if it would of been better. They would of had to have done more to the story which I think was needed. I would have to say I give the movie 3 out of 5 stars. At most, it would be 3 1/2 but no more than that.

Max Payne Rating

I hope that the new rating change from R to PG-13 does not ruin the new Max Payne movie coming out on October 17th, 2008. I better not hear footage was taken out to get this PG-13 and that it was just a “change of heart” and that they rated it too hard.

UPDATE SEPT 30, 08: Director John Moore has said this. “We trimmed some frames more for the sake of trimming frames than anything, but we got the rating without any major changes at all. I’m a little surprised that we changed their minds, effectively, but I’m happy about it. It proves that if you stick to your guns and you have the creative… that you can get the right thing done.”

Moore also mentioned that a version of the movie will be released on DVD that will be meant for fans of the game itself, featuring a slower story and more atmosphere. The “Gamer Dedicated Cut” of the movie will also feature some “rougher” content, so fans have more to look forward to after the movie hits theaters. Source for this: ars technica
