Move Over Warcraft…
Jan3
It looks like World of Warcraft’s reign as the definitive MMO is on the way out. Just check out the trailer and you’ll see what I mean. I might even pay for a subscription to this one.
My inner child is screaming at me to get this the very moment that preordering is available – I just hope they have cross-platform compatibility (OS X version please).
In other news, I’m having all kinds of trouble repartitioning my hard disk to install Windows 7 as my Boot Camp OS. I’ve decided to migrate from Windows XP after many years of faithful service, simply because it needed formatting and Windows 7 is just as good (and infinitely better than Vista). I might be due a proper defragment and try again.
This is Getting Silly

Who remembers the internet back when ‘Broadband’ was an amazing marketing opportunity at 512Kb/s? Now, who remembers 56Kb/s modems being all the rage?
Here at Brayford Quay, modern, plush student accommodation with en-suite sit-down showers, a desk and 6 complementary power sockets, over the wired network, I am pulling downloads at an amazing, awe inspiring, jaw dropping… 4KB/s (Or, for the technically minded people who spotted that one is bytes and one is bits, around 32Kb/s). That means (And I’ve checked this) it would be faster for me to write a letter back home (On real paper!) asking my parents to download the files I want, post it, wait for it to be delivered, wait for my parents to download the files, and wait for them to be mailed back to me on a DVD. That’s including the weekend.
