.me, .mac, and .myself

The WWDC opening keynote by Jobs on Monday June 9th, 2008 is going to packed full of stuff, if we're to believe all the rumours that are going around right now in the blogosphere! There'll be the 3G iPhone with GPS, and its 2.0 firmware with 3rd party development support. There'll also be the expected 70+ new countries pledging telecoms support for the JesusPhone. It doesn't just stop there though. Bloggers are expecting there to be newly updated MacBooks and MacBook Pros, OSX 10.5.4 (despite 10.5.3 just being released!), the preview of OSX 10.6, and the revamping of .Mac into what is suggested to be .Me, or MobileMe.com.
The latter is just about the only thing where I can do something about it. If Apple were to migrate all .Mac users over to .Me, thus enveloping iPhone and Windows users too, then the existing .mac usernames have to be ported over. Some blog forum users gave an inspired post, saying that if the email address would beomce @me.com, then they would immediately register stoplaughing@me.com! Hilarious!
But why wait until June 9th? If you register for a Free Trial at www.mac.com, you have 30 days to try it out, and hold onto that username past the WWDC keynote. And so off I went to register! Sadly, that poster did register "StopLaughing" username... mac.com was suggesting I use "StopLaughing1" which really doesn't cut the mustard. So I went for something similar: "EveryonesLaughing", which hopefully should evolve into "EveryonesLaughing@me.com"!
Which, funnily enough, is true! :D
What wouldn't be funny is if this rumour is false, and it remains as "EveryonesLaughing@Mac.com".... I might get lynched by the Mac Fanboys for that.... :S

EDIT: my boss just signed up a fantastic one: DontThrowShit@me.com :D

MobileScobbler - everything you wanted to know about your current song!

Just added this app which looks interesting. Once you have a login at www.last.fm, this app will check what you're listening to and compare it against what others have been listening too. Keywords such as genre, artist, comparable artists, and other factors are selectable. Thus this gives you the opportunity to broaden your exposure of music beyond your existing iTunes collection. It even has a shortcut to let you buy the album from iTunes music store! 

If it just offered that alone it would be quite good. However, MobileScrobbler goes further in listing a biography of the artist, and even lyrics to the current song! There is also another button called Events, would be interesting to see what's listed there if it really is updated.

PS. It works great over EDGE!
PPS. It eats up the battery too! Best to disable all MobileScrobbler functions in Settings, and check its logo is off the top status bar.
