WOW: Using the Mobile Authenticator on Kindle Fire

Apparently Battle.net's mobile authenticator can be downloaded to the Kindle File.  The trick is that it is available via Google's Play site, not via Amazon's app store.  I have no idea if this works or not.

Here's another convoluted method which only works if you have an Android phone to download to.

The easiest method is to use Getjar.com to put apps on your Kindle Fire but Battle.net mobile authenticator doesn't seem to be one of them.

To auto run, you can adjust the run key.  Here's how. (But see the Comment below.  This isn't really "auto run.")

In a related topic, the Field of View (FOV) cannot be changed currently but apparently the developer is working on a patch.  Red Joe Q's comments here.

There is a tool to remap your controls. Note that there is one download for the demo and another for the full game and make sure you read the comments for more information.

Activision Lawsuit and Downloads

Activision has been much criticized for the cost and skimpy content in its Call of Duty series downloads.  However, the Call of Duty map packs have been downloaded more than 20 million times.  They cost $15 each currently.  You can do the math yourselves, but at that rate, skimpy content at high prices will continue to flow.

In other Activision news, Kotick has lost a sexual harassment and sexual discrimination lawsuit and the appeal which seems to involve a dispute over what he owed a lawyer in the case for representing him.   Details here.  Note that he wasn't the one doing the harassing but did not prevent it.  Instead he fired the complainant.  Many thanks to Kotaku for leading me to the LA Times story.
