EB Games, Albert Street, Brisbane
FOR my first blog for Tech Wired Australia, I thought I’d best post on topics I know the most about, so here’s the spill on what was the main Brisbane launch of World of Warcraft’s: Wrath of the Lich King.
Thursday even before 10pm there were large queues of rabid gamers snaking up Adelaide and Queen streets. This was to be their standing for the next two hours until the game was released. A young girl by the character name of Lolirpreist proudly announced that she’d been lining up since 8 o’clock but that her friends had arrived around 3.30pm. Lack of cosplay in Brisbane, although there was one guy wearing furry ears on his head and a lot of t-shirts with character names and guilds on them.

You’re Feed burner statistics gone spastic?
About a week ago, Tech Wired Australia’s Feed burner statistics were dropped for Saturday and Sunday the 18th & 19th of July (American dates).
With all of this in mind, Feed burner is owned by Google (well actually, it was acquired), and as a user of Google’s products, I haven’t seen too many issues before with data disappearing.
The above message has been on the front page of Feed Burner for quiet quite some time now, and just goes to show that perhaps Google are just buying out everything and doing nothing about it.
This concerns me with all the great web start ups being bought out, and going no where, staying ’static’ so to speak with a lot of potential, kinda like kinetic energy.
Is there a solution to this issue?
Greed?
Who knows, but I guess Google made Feedburner free, but if I was a previous paying user and this happened, would I be happy? I think not.
