So the Mac World Expo is over with now, and if you haven’t heard yet there are a lot of people that were rather disapointed by the event. Why? Two main reasons, first there were a lot of rumors floating around as to what would be announced. People expected these rumors to be true, and when they weren’t, people felt let down. The other reason, is the event was pretty boring.
If you hadn’t heard, this is the last year that Apple is attending the Mac World Expo. In addition to that, there was also no Steve Jobs to present the keynote, instead it was handled by Senior V.P. Phil Schiller. I don’t know if it was just Phil, or if it was the products he was announcing today but the event was boring. He spent half an hour along talking about iPhoto 09. iPhoto might be nice, and there may be a lot of new things in it, but half an hour? Really?
So what was covered during the keynote? If you fell asleep, or just missed it, here is a recap: (more…)

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.
