Yahoo Acquires Konfabulator

Posted In Music |

{mosimage}"Yahoo! Inc. on Tuesday will announce the acquisition of Konfabulator (now called Yahoo Widgets), a Macintosh and Windows application that allows users to run Widgets on their desktop -- the same model used by Apple for its Dashboard application. Yahoo! company executives said they would also be giving Konfabulator away for free, completely doing away with the US$19.95 currently charged for the product."

I still think Konfabulator is a better model than Dashboard on the Mac, but on Windows, Samurize wins hands down.

Battlefield 2 Version 1.02 Patch Released

Posted In |

{mosimage}"The hotfix for Battlefield 2 v1.01 is now available for download. This update replaces v1.01 and fixes the said memory leak. Along with this update, we’ve made available an updated unranked server file for Win32 and an updated unranked server file for Linux."

Unfortunatelely, the game still crashes, this time instead of back to the desktop, the PC reboots itself. Something is to blame here ... EA/DICE or nVidia's driver ?

At least, I can now use qtracker to find my friends and join them for some team-based ass kickin'.

BF2 Bugs Make More Than Me Blue

Posted In |

Well, I get home after a crap day at work, but it's Friday and time to play some BF2, except this time when I run the game, everything is blue.

This morning I lodged a support ticket with EA, so I'm waiting to hear any feedback that they have. In other news, the official site says they're currently "testing" the new patch. Maybe there is a light at the end of this tunnel ?
