Opera Mini 5 Beta, free to download now
http://www.opera.com/mini/next/
This is a nice install on my Nokia 5800 XM, but the keyboard lack the ability to copy/paste with the native clipboard in the S60. Some Java scripts does not format well like the iPhone google reader site, but this is not different from the official 4.2 version. Other than that, the browser looks a lot better and still runs smooth. The password save feature is a really nice add-on and feels a lot like a desktop experience. Also the tab browsing makes the flow easier to swallow. Bottom line: it's a good step toward a better experience.

Twitter client with Facebook support: Seesmic DESKTOP
This is one of the best twitter clients I have used for my windows desktop, and then again, I have not used twitter that long. I tried just a few (round 5 clients on windows 4 on S60), and I must say that Seesmic was the winner for me at the windows platform. This was because it scales nice and intergrade facebook notifications and other features.
It also support mutiple twitter accounts and userlists mixed on both services, save searches with new post notifications and more.
It has some normal, but nice features like add (tiny) URL, image and shrink text. Also the facebook status can be updated like the twitter tweets.
The column look does look like the one known from TweetDeck, but I like this more, and one of the reasons is that twitter and facebook timelines can be mixed together in one timeline or it can be seperated into 2 columns. Also the twitter replies can be mixed and seperated.
Seesmic has also made some footage of the feature updates/changelog

Ovi Store... now open all over!
Ovi Store.
Ovi Store is now open in all countries. This store can be accessed by web browser on the phone or desktop computer or the S60 Ovi Store application. I have tried all and I'm quite happy about them. I have also tries to buy applications and the experience was nice and streamlined. There are tabs like Recommended, Featured, Latest, Video & Audio, Games, Application and so on adn of cause you can filter by payed and free also. There are also categories like Entertainment, Business, Social Network, Utility ect.
I would like more applications in the store. Most of the stuff is wallpapers and videos, but many of the applications I'm use to are also there.
All in all the experiance was quite good after the first crash ;) but Nokia quickly fixed this with adding more servers and soon the service was running smooth again.

Ten Most Misused Words in MMOs
Editorial - Ten Most Misused Words in MMOs - MMORPG.com.
This article points the 10 most misused words in the MMORPG game genre. Most of these words goes on the 'outside' of a MMORPG, like the development and status of a game and not much in-game and more technical misused words like lag, hack and nerf/overpower <=> balanced.
Eg. balance:
Most MMORPGs are builed upon algebra formulas in one way or another, even if not intended. These formulas are the goals to acheive for hardcore gamer in many cases. Because of this, there are alot of buzz when MMORPG developers/companies balance the systems to a more even way. This is mostly done because of 2 reasons: new features or balancing issues. There must be balance in a MMORPG to accommodate all players and to have more real fun. It must be more satisfying to beat someone when knowing the balance is even compaired to win when overpowered. There must be some pride in that, or does other hardcore MMORPG gamers out there not possess pride at all?
hint: MMO != MMORPG ;)
