The New and Improved Facebook

Facebook has changed overnight yet again but before you punch your screen, cursing out the world for hating you, know that this time nobody should be upset about this. Nobody should hate this one except of course billion dollar online casual gaming company, Zynga.
 Zynga has many ways of advertising, but the most abundant and annoying way on Facebook is of course app spam. Zynga is one of, if not, the worst offender of app spam on facebook.They have altogether lost my respect as a casual gaming company. However thanks to last night's update that is a thing of the past.
You now have the option to delete posts from your news feed and profile wall. Wait it gets better, you can do even more than just manually delete posts. If you delete a post on your news feed you have the option to hide all posts from that source. If you delete an application's post from your wall you have the option not to allow the application to post without your consent. Once you have done that next time you delete that app's post you will have the option to delete it from your applications. Finally, the next time you delete their annoying spam you are able to blacklist that application from your profile. You are even able to report any post as spam.
I am so happy that facebook finally did something about spam. Rejoice in the new and improved facebook. These capabilities are long overdue I wish they had added them sooner.

World of Warcraft Saved Bob from Itself!

World of Warcraft took away my chat privelages. I finally have no reason to play it. Thank god now ill be able to pay my bills as there nothing distracting me.  Guess what?  The world of warcraft blogging crisis is over. It is time to get a job and move on with blogging.
In World of Warcraft there are chat channels one of which is for trade. It was originally for trade anyways. Trade chat is now full of ppl called Trolls. A Troll is an annoying person who spams trade chat. I trolled and a game master took away my chat privelages. Now I can keep my phone. He did me a favor.
He did a favor to you, my readers as well. Distraction-free i can give you more news faster.  Thank you stupid game master you helped me out quite a bit! I was a fully functional human being before World of Warcraft. I like the game but its addicting. People make fun of you if you are a casual gamer as well. I am a casual gamer and this site has reviews for casual games. I'm done with World of Warcraft.
On to something more productive.
I'm just going to sum it all up in a nut shell :

• Less World of  Warcraft
• More Plants vs Zombies 
• Im gonna get a job

Now I'm going outside to see what daylight looks like again!

Bob Has Finally Caught Up With Apple!

Recently  I ceased posting and took a long time to gather information. What I ended up with is ketchup. Apple flavored ketchup and it is actually really good. Quite a bit has happened but I'm gonna give you a good bit of the important stuff.

1. iPods with New Features and iPods that Look Rediculous Apple has some new toys and they are weird. Some good features, some old features on new items and some obvious features that they forgot to include in the last version.



1. iPod touch The new iPod touch looks awesome I'm not gonna lie. It has a front and back camera and a gyro. In iOS 4.1 there will be multitasking! You even get the update free with the iPod! Get the freaking thing!
2. iPod nano The new iPod nano is pretty odd. Why? One word, Touchscreen and its tiny.  It is extremely tiny and it has multitouch but you will never ever use it because it is so small that fit more than one finger on it. They also got rid of the camera (I was never really a fan of it because my finger always got in the way). It basically just migrated to the iPod touch.
3. iPod shuffle There is a new feature, buttons, Apple's page for it even says "Features: Buttons, VoiceOver". I saw that and laughed my face off. I wonder what they were thinking when they did that?


2. Ping Apple made a social network and immediately succeded. Ping has been around for a week and has over 1 million users. It was brought to us during the latest update along with a new icon. I will delve into this more later but from what i can tell you can share musical interests and connect with bands in a facebook-esque fashion. Apparently there is a bad bit of spam as well, this will go away soon,  Jobs likes to keep things tidy.
3. iOS 4.1 and 4.2  iOS updates have been annoyingly lacking recently these new updates will bring multitasking to the iPod touch and iPad platforms. Multitasking, need i say more. You can finally have your digital cake and play Plants vs Zombies too. 

Apple did a good lot of things recently but there will always be something amiss with Apple (buttons, multitasking, folders etc.) Follow me on twitter for updates on Apple.
