The free-to-play Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited is set to launch right around the corner on Aug. 4 for DDO VIPs and Aug. 6 for everyone else, but until those dates arrive, Turbine has opened the Unlimited beta to all active subscribers.
While the team finishes the final test run of the F2P model, DDO
players with paid accounts in good standing can now access the Lamannia
server or post on the beta forums. These paid accounts will convert to
VIP when DDO Unlimited launches, giving subscribers access to the early
Aug. 4 launch date.
Chris “Pwyff” Tom took a tour of DDO Unlimited last month and liked what he saw. Will you be joining Pwyff in Eborron in August?
The Pirate Bay’s relatively new “IPREDator” service was one of the responses the group had to the lawsuits brought against them. Though TBP’s moniker itself is on the road to commercialization, there are still efforts being made by them to improve P2P services on the Internet. Moving towards that goal, this week they officially opened IPREDator to hundreds of thousands of beta testers.

PayPal tries rewiring e-commerce with new interface
By Josh Lowensohn, CNET News.com Friday, July 24 2009 10:03 AM
PayPal, eBay’s well established but aging mechanism for
online payments, is trying to rebuild itself for a new generation of
online commerce possibilities.
At an event for press and developers on Thursday, PayPal and its
partners described several new programming interfaces that are part of
the company’s upcoming Adaptive Payments Service and showed what
developers can do with them.
For example, Microsoft will use the interface to enable payments
within its forthcoming Azure cloud-computing service. And LiveOps’
on-demand outsourcing service will use it to automatically handle
fluctuating payment amounts and changes to who’s being paid. Finally,
the interface takes PayPal beyond the browser, opening it up for use on
mobile phones, set-top boxes, and other increasingly smart devices…

Now this is some news we’re most definitely not happy to report. Back in February we told you about Syncplicity, an awesome sync solution that, in our opinion, is far superior to any competing product. In a nutshell, Syncplicity allows users to mirror any folder on a computer (in two clicks) with an always-in-sync online copy, “in the cloud”. Folders can also by synced across computers and shared with anyone in just a few clicks. Syncplicity had just opened its Mac beta when we covered it and since then it has become a staple on every system that hits BGR HQ. Unfortunately, bad news struck our inbox this past Thursday that will change all that…See Article
