The long awaited ICQ 6 Preview is coming!

As always, the new preview is limited to a small amount of users. In past, the limit has been set to 30.000. According to the ICQ 6 Preview page, this time you need to apply for an invitation and this time there are only about 800 (daily) to give out, so it’s a very closed cycle now.

A lot of people and ICQ/IM news sites complained that ICQ does not move forward, no new developments, and they called it dead. However, by tradition, the ICQ Team releases a new version every year and releases an alpha client for user testing by the end of the year. They are late this year but I am glad that their traditions won’t be broken!

Next to the usual testers forum, they have started an ICQ 6 Blog in which the ICQ Team writes about ICQ 6 and its proccess! And they even reveal some new features.

I have compiled a blog post about the features they promised earlier to include. So you might like to check it out!

Is Master Yoda working at SPEED-LINK? =)

The above screenshot I received while installing the 3D sound drivers for my new Kalliope USB Headset. It’s pretty heavy to make so many mistakes in such a short message – and I have to adit: I had to think about it a few seconds till I understood what my PC wanted from me. Anyway, the drivers do not work right anyway, so I will stick with the default C-Media ones.

From the Skype Forums.

“A group of students and myself from the University of South Florida are conducting a simple survey on Skype user satisfaction.
It consists of a short automated Skype call, followed by a brief questionnaire. The entire process should take less than three minutes.
If you would like to help us with our research please visit:
http://skype.cse.usf.edu/

We appreciate your participation, and feel free to suggest the survey to any friends or family that use Skype.
Regards,
Rodrigo Gutierrez”

It’s actually very interactive and includes recording yourself and then answer questions how you like that call quality and other questions are asked, too! 🙂

Unfortuantely it was so busy today, it was hard to get your chance to participate!

Gmail and Orkut are available for everybody now, because since Orkut uses Google accounts to login and due to the fact that they now offer joining for everybody, you can register your own GMail accout during this proccess!

See screenshots above!

This is what happened when I tried to search for updates for the Netgear SPH101:

I selected to install the “Product Update Utility”.

Great, it found a new version on the internet! Let’s “Get the Update”

Here I see how much old I am with my CD and what kind of update I am about to download!

Guess what? The file is not on their servers!!! 😀

It can be however downloaded from their (English) homepage here:

SPH101 WiFiPhone Update Utility

Update:

The new firmware is now at this page.

…telling me when I opened it once the other day, that IE7 final is out. Oh really? 😉

Infact I have already installed it, but in English not German. I even wrote my opinion about it! Weird! 😀

Those instructions came with new graphics card and they are totally wrong, since no Y-powercable (see an example for an y-powercable here) is shipped with it, but a normal graphics card-to-power cable. The package contents and more can be seen at this Tom’s Hardware review! 🙂

MySpace is availble in a German beta, just received this screen yesterday.
However the texts are not equal:

in English, they say that not all is translated yet and that it’s still in beta.
Also, it says that more sections will be translated into German soon. “We will work on making the site better – thanks for being patient” is also missing in the German version.
