World of WarCraft Update

One of my all time favorite games has recieved another update! This new version 1.11 includes a couple new features although there is one feature that did upset a lot of people. First here’s the list of updates:

– The Looking For Group channel is now global.
– Escape Artist now displays a message in the combat log when it fails.
– PvP: Significant changes to the battleground Deserter debuff. The debuff should no longer be applied to characters incorrectly.
– Druid: The Omen of Clarity talent now lasts ten minutes. The tooltip does not yet correctly reflect the new longer duration, and will be updated in a future patch.
– Mage: Evocation: Cool down reduced to eight minutes; Pyroblast: Cool down removed.
– Shaman: Frostbrand and Flametongue weapon buffs are benefited by +spell damage.
– Many more enhancements.

The first item on the list is the big issue that didn’t make many people happy. While it sounds like a really cool idea to be able to talk to anyone else on the server, it’s not. Imagine thousands of people talking at once, it can getting really annoying and confusing. I am hoping that Blizzard will fix that issue.

You can download this update by firing up World of WarCraft and it will auto-update itself or you can download it right here!

  • Google + Nest = Nest+?

    You may have heard that yesterday, Google acquired “*Nest,*”:https://nest.com the company most known for its smarter, simpler thermostat design. Reactions to the sale have been largely negative, at least according to “*fans of Nest on Facebook.*”:https://www.facebook.com/nest/posts/10152167824360681 What would this mean for your privacy? For device support (especially non-Google devices such as iPhone)? ARE WE ALL GOING TO BE WATCHED IN OUR HOMES?

    I’ve been intrigued by Nest’s thermostat design since it was developed by Nest Labs in 2011, and still believe that it has set a standard for innovation and what it means to have a “connected home” — a term that has proven to be highly sought after in the past few years. I mean, you can leave the over-the-top “smart” tech products at CES (except for the WeMo-enabled “*Belkin Crock-Pot*”:http://www.macrumors.com/2014/01/07/belkin-slow-cooker/ … I think I’d love that guy), but Nest makes a lot of sense for the average home.

    Recently, Nest Labs introduced a smarter “*smoke and carbon monoxide detector,*”:https://nest.com/smoke-co-alarm/life-with-nest-protect/ taking on another mundane household staple that they determined significant improvement (for the annoyance factor alone). That brings the total number of products to two. Two. For which Google paid 3.2 billion! Obviously, they were viewed as game-changers.

    So, what do you think Google plans to do with Nest? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
