With all these now expansions coming out, I think Blizzard is only going to shoot them selves in the foot. For an existing user, who has a main and a couple of alts, has the bar being raised again and again. With the new expansion Wrath you can now level to 80. I cant imagine this would be very enticing for a new user. First you buy the game $39.99 then the Burning Crusade expansion $39.99 and now Wrath (most likely) $39.99 = $120. And I cant imagine what the “/played” time would be. The best grinders can do 1-60 in 6 days of playtime. I have lost total motivation to take my main past my current lvl @ 66. 🙁 It would be interesting to see the new/current subscribers info.. I would be willing to wager that there is a decline.

If you have upgraded to WM6 on your dash you might have noticed, when you view video fullscreen, the video is turned 90 degrees (viewing a landscape video on you landscape screen in portrait)… OK WHY?

Well heres a fix:

  • Open your favorite registry editor
  • Add a new Key called “Rotation” under:
    • HKLM\System\GDI i.e.(HKLM\System\GDI\Rotaion)
  • Then add this Dword “LandscapeMode” and set the value to “0 ” (zero)

Thats it your video will play just fine

  • Hold a watch with 12 o’clock at left.
  • Move your arm so the hour hand points at the sun.
  • The spot halfway between the hour hand and the 12 is south.

Well if you live in Arizona or Indiana, and you own a T-mobile Dash. You might just be having some time zone issues.

But thanks to the guys over at Howard Forums, there’s a nice little hack to fix your problems.

– First install this APP Unlock tool

– Reboot phone (important)

– Then install this registry editor

-Reboot phone

– In registry app, navigate to :

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\TZEnabledAfterReboot

Set the value to 0 “zero” (0=Turnoff reset 1=Turnon reset)

Thats it! – be warned! “Altering you registry may void your warranty”
