Exiting Guild Wars 2 Momentarily

Often you will need to temporarily exit Guild Wars 2 to look at a file or a browser window on your computer.  To do so, hold down the Command key and push Tab (Macs) or hold down the Windows key and push Tab (PCs).  This minimizes the screen.

Pushing the same key sequence again should take you back to a full Guild Wars 2 window although it may take a few key combo pushes to cycle through the open applications to get back to GW2.

Rift Mobile Authenticator without a Smart Phone?

Supposedly the BlueStacks emulator allows one to run the Rift Android mobile authenticator on a PC. The first URL has a link to the download, and the second (dated last January 2012) talks about BlueStacks.

Launcher Update Bug (and Fix)

An update to the launcher today (Sept. 18) is causing trouble for those running Windows on their game machines.  WOW Insider describes the problem here and a solution.  By the way, in the comments someone with a Macintosh is also having the same problem.  No word as to whether it was a Mac running Windows.
