your filaments to pop bubbles! For those times, this is the app for you. With multiple levels of difficulty, and a prettynear infinite number of game configurations, this one will just last and last .
But the fun doesn’t stop there. There’s an add-on that lets you take the app into the real world, harnessing the electrical fields generated by your filaments, and allowing you to physically pop real soap bubbles!
Pros: Frantic and fun .
Cons: Real world implementation is calcium hungry, so stock up on supplements .
Overall: ****
3. CrowdMap
Like FaceSpace, and MyBook, CrowdMap is a social linking programme that brings all your bookmarks and LiveFeeds into one easy-to-manage app .
Pros: Cross-posting between social connection pages .
Cons: Geotagging still a little buggy .
Overall: ****1/2
2. LinkHangers
What can I say? A perfect filing system for all your templates, file by colour, style, material. There’s even a place to put your embarrassing CosPlay purchases, but I would keep quiet about that if I was you. Pros: Simply the best there is .
Cons: None .
Overall: *****
1. Last Quest: Diamond Dust
OK, it’s just a shrunk down version of Last Quest, and is a series of smaller campaigns that don’t devour huge chunks of your free time, but its vast number of mini-games will keep you busy on slider trips and between lectures .
Pros: Those addictive mini-games .
Cons: The graphics are a lot less convincing than in the full game, but then I think they’re pretty cute.
Overall: *****

On the way back from college, the northbound stretch of the city slideway was snarled up around New Lincoln Heights.
Outside the slider’s window, a forest of huge, sparkling, milk-white towers rose up from a seedbed of jewel-like structures.
Inside the slider, people were getting agitated.
I reluctantly stopped reading
Gulliver’s Travels
on my LinkPad and connected to the Link by thinking
Open Link
and then
News. Local
. The information started to flow into my mind and I narrowed the stream to concentrate on news relevant only to my GPS position.
It was reporting that a crew was clearing another leaper off the tracks.
It was the third one in the city this week.
It’d take a whole lot of time for the authorities to sort out, so I grabbed my college bag from the seat, stuffed my Pad into it and made for the slider doors. I was still a couple of klicks away from Amicus Park, my station, but I started to walk anyway.
I passed a group of onlookers who were trying to see over the medical cordon, to catch a glimpse of the person who had let gravity solve their problems for them.
I shook my head. I have no idea what it is in human nature that makes people want to see sights like that. The world was falling apart and there were people craning their necks to see its final collapse.
I stopped.
Whoa
. I thought.
Where did that thought come from?
I quickly opened a media channel on the Link and shopped for some music to shut my brain up.
All, literally, in the blink of an eye.
I downloaded something with old-fashioned guitars anda pounding – almost industrial – beat.
I set my stride to the rhythm and tried not to do any more thinking.
Within five minutes I’d reached the foot of the crystal towers I’d been looking at from the comfort of the slider.
New Lincoln Heights rose up into the sky, a crystalline neighbourhood that had literally been grown from minerals seeded into the earth.
Where the sun struck its angled surfaces rainbows were formed, making the buildings seem less than solid.
I slowed then stopped, just to take in the wonder of the sight close up, but I was holding up the flow of the pedestrian walkway and people started grumbling.
The city’s planners were growing the Crystal Projects to house the rising number of Strakerites who, it seems, have decided that they need to live separately from the rest of
