World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Beta

Posted onAuthorTruXter

This is what I have heard about the game (sorry but I can’t get my friend to write it here, but he posts it to his 3 friends [that don’t play games at all] on facebook)

I will be updating this with quotes I get straight from my friend on Facebook as they come.

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Beta was well over a 17 gigabyte download once i got logged it took me one entire day to complete one quest because there was so many people testing the new beta expansion for WoW

In a phone conversation trying to get him to write on here, he said that Pandaria is so full of people it’s hard to quest and there have been so many changes in World of Warcraft in this beta expansion, everything feels like a hand to hand combat and he is short range and gets leveled by long range.

Sorry all, I never get the Blizzard beta. For some reason they have always excluded me.

New Myspace is Released in Beta

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Myspace now has a bit of a better looking code, up and  working. You can still decorate your background, but in all, the interface per user is 100 times better than before. Myspace still has the media players we all loved and wished that facebook would start. Myspace has now added a “Like” button that everyone loved from Digg.com, and all of the techies know that facebook completely ripped off from digg.com . Myspace now has a “Discover” button . And that my friend if you don’t try that button and you still think that facebook is better and a better social network, then you my friend do not understand the word “social”. Myspace lets you discover people. Facebook allows you to add people, who were already your friend.
Myspace is doing it right this time, they just need a mess load of popular actors and singers saying how cool it is, before the trendies even begin to consider it.
Their EULA is there for everyone to read so you know what your privacy is.
What would be nice for Myspace about this time is give everyone on facebook what they have been wanting. Give everyone a dislike button . *1

Let’s see what I do not like.

I don’t like how I can’t ignore bulletin posts from games. This needs to be fixed. The site feels a bit clunky and bloated, so they need to see what does not get used much and yank that out, so the pages load a bit quicker. I would love to see apps like news ticker on end user side, not profile side. I mean that can strike up conversations. Notifications are hard to find, but it’s the flag at the top.

All fair play I gotta give  Myspace a fair score while it’s in it’s first release state.

page load 7/10

looks 8/10

usability 9/10

interface 10/10

creativity 8/10

Final Score 8/10

and that’s pretty dang good for a beta on day one.

*1

(Ignore) so you can vote stuff down from it’s glorified position of a perfect score. See people on facebook create these pages and live by the fantasy that they are making a point because 2000000 people like their cause, but what if we could “dislike” their cause and show a full on democracy with this thing? so those who create a cause and preach it all day long until the veins in their neck collapses, can see that more people dislike their cause. That’s what Myspace needs. Get a full on vote system and let the Hipsters see why it is good to allow people to vote. You sure won’t see politicians getting on there. Even better if Causes could be categorized. ok enough about what should be.

Opera Mini 5

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Installed on blackberry 8100 rim and on G1 android.
I was using opera mini on my lg flip phone and Motorola rizr and blackberry for years before I got my android. Seems my rizr didn’t quite measure up so I had to install version 4.
I’m not too keen on opera on my computer. Feels kinda netscape navigator-ish.

The blackberry install was fast. Use was very smooth. Impressive appearance. Small pop ups look druple like. Could not find settings to change browser color. Navigation and page change smoother and softer than previous versions. Bookmarking has been made easier refreshing and closing ap happens fast with no lock ups.
Blackberry install I give a 10/10

Install for android, was 5 beta.
I’m beyond impressed. This is one sharp looking application. I have yet to see another app look this great. Downside is the menu bar at the bottom uses some of the screen realestate. I’m scared to turn it off, it might not come back. Menu button does nothing. Maybe if I close the bottom navigation bar it will show up in menu area. ( if anyone tested this, let me know results). Navigation bar has a forward and back button with refresh button. You no longer have to hit back button a million times to exit 10 minutes of surfing. This feature needs to be in all programs.
After you install this, do not change your home page. Look at the home page that is provided. You can have basically a bookmarks with thumbnails as your home page. Touch screen is now functional, in my honest opinion better than the default android browser. very fluid with your finger movements.
Again I could not change color or theme.
I give opera mini beta 5 for android a 10/10

Opera 4 for motorolla rizr 9/10

Sure did not feel like very long on that dang thing. 2 days as the drum beats and it’s lights out or upgrade.
I did find few Windows Vista installs that come with free windows 7 upgrades. for around 130. To me that sounds like
a peach of a deal. Found it at zipzoomfly, not going to link it because heh. I’m not getting any kick back.. nah because I don’t feel like searching for it till I’m ready, but I did saw it earlier today. So I know it’s there

Good Luck
