Macworld reported that Blizzard is testing WOW client 2.2.
This version is supposed to offer a host of new features. Notably, the ability to record part of your session in QuickTime.
Thanks Blizzard.
If you visit Apple’s widget download page (use use this link), you can grab this widget.Note: wowhead.com is a handy search site for current WOW data. It seems pretty fast. I don’t know how complete it is.
The cool programming freaks at Panic software have developed their own take on website development for a fraction of the price of apps like Dreamweaver. Check out Coda.
As usual the webpage for this product is beautiful. the UI looks pretty. I’ll mess with it and get you guys an update when I can.

I was going to write a story about this but I’m speechless.
5000 Gold for sex.
I wonder if this is a TOS violation.
‘I play a level 70 night elf druid and would prefer someone who was into roleplaying (I have a costume!) boy honestly anyone will do, as long long as you have the gold. I would also be ok with a woman too, as long as you have the gold!’
The craiglist ad is after the jump.

I’m guessing some form of mind control is going to be required for this transaction to be completed.

That’s just crazy.

Long ago I outlined the coolness of a little utility called VirtueDesktops. This cool little app provided the benefits of the forthcoming os 10.5 ’spaces’ feature.
VirtueDesktops’ author has recently decided not to complete the program. The program has been in development since last year and was closing in on a stable version. After attending last year’s WWDC (world wide developer conference), he has finally decided to give up.
This may have been motivated by the buz that indicates that Mac OS 10.5 will be shipping this June (knock on wood).
Here’s the link to the site to learn about VirtueDesktops so you can see it yourself.
Again, people dreaming about WOW on the iPhone. Notice that this guy realizes how a problem that would be. He’s concentrating on the processor, which I ignored before, but the gut still says ‘no way.’
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Odds and ends
iPhone World is reporting on an anonymous tip from a ‘reliable source’ that Apple’s forthcoming iPhone will run WoW:
My instincts say ‘no’ on this one. I don’t know much about the iPhone’s ARM11 processor, but I’d be surprised if even the most powerful of phone CPUs could render a game like WoW playably. And even if it could, would you really want to play on a screen that size? Heck, I had enough trouble on my old laptop’s 12′. Furthermore, I believe Blizz have said that they think a keyboard and mouse are essential for playing WoW, when giving reasons for not porting the game to consoles. But enough baseless speculation. Does anybody know about that ARM11 CPU? Let me know in the comments if this is impossible or merely unlikely.
P.S. The above image isn’t evidence of WoW on iPhone, it’s just a quick Photoshop.
(Via WOW Insider.)
You know, I covered this back in February. It seems damn unlikely. The game is tricky enough with a mouse and keyboard. These people are clearly high.
Play WoW on Apple’s iPhone?: “Sean Bonner:
There’s a pretty crazy story on iPhone World claiming to have confirmation that the iPhone will run WoW. No, like, for realz. From the story:
…Imagine playing WOW on them using the touch screen interface. Think of the impact its going to have on the handheld game market and Apple’s revenue.’
I tried to get more on WOW but all I could get was ‘Steve goes big and WOW is as big as they come when it comes to on-line games.’
…
…was told that WOW on the iPhone worked with both WiFi and EDGE (without simultaneous phone use) and full multi-tasking with 3G in the future. New iPod will utilize WiFi.
I saw this story over on WoW Insider where they are a little skeptical. I’m a LOT skeptical, and in fact am calling BS on the whole thing. I know people with Mac laptops that can’t run WoW, no way this thing will be able to. As awesome as it would be, I just can’t see it happening. And the touch screen controls would SUCK for playing WoW. You’d need some kind of bluetooth keyboard, and if you have that why not just use a laptop? That said, what would be awesome would be if some elements were accessible, perhaps you couldn’t fight mobs or PvP, but checking mail, auction house, or working on trade skills seems a little more doable. I guess we’ll have to wait and see but my guess is no way.
(Via Metroblogging Azeroth.)
If you saw/lusted after the iPhone, then you saw ‘the first list of your phone messages.’
While this feature look very cool, why wait? macncell.com found an existing solution that works as a widget on your desktop. It’s fun and cool.
