Dear Blizzard Entertainment,
It’s been well over a year since I ventured around in Azeroth. It was sometime not long after The Burning Crusade was released that my wife and I closed our WoW accounts. In fact, I don’t think I completed more than a dozen quest in the Outlands. That said, I’m willing to come back and give it another try, for a price.
I am willing to reactivate both of my WoW accounts, provided you send me a beta invite for WoW: Wrath of the Lich King. It’s that simple.
But, we both know I’ll not be getting a beta invite. And therefore, my accounts shall remain forever frozen. To be honest, it’s probably for the best. It took me far to long to kick the addiction the first time.
Kindest Regards,
d3bruts1d

Google has introduced GMail Labs, a new set of beta features that you can selectively enable for your GMail account. There isn’t anything that I’ve found to be extremely useful so far. But it is nice to see some new features added to the service.

Another beta was released for the upcoming Firefox 3. The new beta 5 is said to be faster and more in tune with the operating system it is installed to (Windows, Linux, Mac). So far it’s looking pretty nice.

Google released an updated version of their Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer the other day. The main things you’ll find with this version:
- The ability to save your toolbar settings online and “sync” them between computers.
- Integration of Google Notebook directly into the toolbar.
- Improved find that mimics the Opera & Firefox “find bars”.
I like having Google Notebook there, but I absolutely do not like the way that it has been merged with Google Bookmarks. No word on when a Firefox version with the new features will be available, or if there will be a cross browser syncing ability.

Opera 9.50 Beta 1 isn’t scheduled to be officially released until tomorrow, however it’s made an early appearance on Opera’s public FTP.
Before I post the links, a little word of warning to anyone that grabs the file early. It’s not been officially released until you see something on the Opera Desktop Team Blog or the actual Opera.com website. There have been a few occurrences in the past where a file on the FTP had to be pulled or replace due to some kind of issue.
Download Opera 9.50 Beta 1 Unofficial:
The above links are to the FTP site, and not the actual file. Remember, this is unofficial still and even then it is BETA software. The official release will be tomorrow.

It’s been a long time since I post anything about Flock, the social web browser. I may have forgotten about it, but its developers have been hard at work, and now Flock 1.0 beta has been released to the world. If you’re big into Flickr, MySpace, Facebook, Blogging, del.ico.us, and those kinds of things, your browser may have just arrived.

Opera Watch and the The Opera Desktop Team Blog have posted an announcements that we’ll see Opera 9.5 Beta next Thursday (10/25/2007). They also plan on celebrating the release at the Rock Opera Party in San Fransisco. Looks like it’ll be a pretty cool event, to bad it’s all the way across the country. I’ll drink a beer as I download Opera 9.5 Beta to join in the celebration from afar. 
There will be more at the event than just live music, an open bar, and Opera 9.5 Beta. According to an earlier post on Opera Watch, Opera Software will also be launching a new product. I’m really curious as to what this will be. ll have to admit, I’m a bit behind in all things Opera related. Yes, that’s sad considering I’m a self proclaimed Opera Browser fan boy. I need to do some catch up.
As a warm up, the Opera Desktop Team has released a new snapshot build. Keep in mind, snapshot builds contain known bugs and may crash. Use at your own risk. - Though to be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever had a major issue with an Opera alpha, beta, or snapshot build.
