BeoLounge - Launched

Just checked out beolounge.

 

Nicely done, but extremely slow...

I gave up on it after about 5minutes. I have a new mac ordered, so once I get it I'll try again. The current one isn't powerful enough to drive it seamlessly.

My internet speed is 10Mbit.

Alternatively you can nail your head to the table - it's more rewardingπŸ˜‚

It hasn't crashed with Hackintosh (Q9650, HD4850, 8GB, OS X 10.5.5) so far, on my Core Duo Vista laptop it's unstable. The lack of CPU/GPU performance or just an older version of Flash player may be the culprit, haven't bothered to investigate this any further yet.

IE 8 crashes for me as soon as the store manager is done talking every time, not a great start.

So, we've gone from serious discussion to shooting up the BeoLounge with an Uzi to nailing your head to a table.. typical BeoWorld thread then!

I'll only take the Uzi if I can have the endless movie magazines as well, otherwise I'd rather have a semi-auto 12 gauge shotgun πŸ˜‚

If these were the good old days, someone would've made a Beolounge

Don't blame Beo for that, blame Microsoft. 😁

I believe IE is to crash from 0.01 sec from double-click of it's icon, to max 30 minutes.  

I think they should have made it more like Second Life. That way the Beofans could all go there and interact with each other....

 

They could have even incorporated a questions room and maybe 'looking for' room or 'selling' room.

 

Not that I don't like what they have but it's not really a replacement for the old forum. There is no forum.

 

 

Hello All,

 

Did you get your old community uid and pwd to work for the BeoLounge? or did it require you to register again?

 I used my existing password and it worked first time!

Why are you running IE8? As far as I know it is little more than a Beta so you would expect problems.

I am running Vista Home Premium on a HP Core 2 Duo laptop and it all works perfectly. Boring but perfectly boring!

Stick with Microsoft, don't try to be too clever or paddle against the current and everything works.
