#slviewer2 still rockets you into fly mode when standing after sitting, still doesn’t save view prefs, is sad excuse for “release”. Pitiful.

Stroker Serpentines frivolous whiny lawsuit against Linden Lab causes Linden Lab to update it’s Terms of Service to the detriment of all Second Life users. What other possible, plausible explanation could there be for such heavy-handed terms?

Second Life and Linden Lab: Grid-wide Shake-up...
Linden lab has officially released Viewer 2.
I haven’t looked at it since the original public beta, so I guess I’ll download and look at the “release” version tonight and hope and pray they have fixed the only real usability issues (for me anyway) that caused me to stop using it:

Xstreet SL: You Bee-ach, You! →
As a shopper, I love Xstreet SL. However, as a shopper I hate Xstreet SL. On the other hand as a merchant I love Xstreeet SL. But I also hate Xstreet SL for the extra work is causes me.

iPad wi-fi + 3G shipping early?
I pre-ordered the higher-end iPad wi-fi + 3G.
The iPad wi-fi only (without a 3G cellular radio) begins shipping Monday for delivery on the 3rd of April. Thus, if you’ve pre-ordered one of these, it should be at your door on Saturday.
If you have elected for any of the 3G versions, though - you shouldn;t expect anything until at least “late April” - which to me means anything...
