Nov 24th 2008 10:12AM To this day The Trinity Session stands as my *all-time favorite* album - a work of sheer genius and unmatched artistry. Hard to believe it's been twenty years.

In-game mail to be reimbursed {WoW}
Nov 11th 2008 10:44PM To all those QQ'ing about losing mail older than 15 days old:
Take a deep breath and relax.
Blizzard clearly stated that only mail sent during the last 15 days is impacted by this mishap.
Mail older than that will still be in your box when you're finally able to log back on.
All mail sent in the last 15 days *that was still in your mailbox when the mishap occurred* will be reimbursed.
Everything will be OK.
Servers back down: Mailboxes empty [Updated x2] {WoW}
Nov 11th 2008 10:12PM Ravenblood hit it right on the head. From a business POV, this level of downtime in a production environment is simply unacceptable. When you factor in the number of users impacted - AND the fact that each user is a paying customer - heads should be rolling at Blizzard. No business I've ever worked at as IT staff would consider this amount of downtime to be acceptable.
I am of the opinion that, contrary to prior practice and philosophy, Blizzard rushed WofLK to market so as not to miss out on the holiday buying season. I believe this to be a direct consequence of the merger with Activision - I don't believe Blizzard controls its own destiny to as great a degree as they like to think they do.

Is Blu-ray destined to become a "videophile niche?" {Engadget HD}
Oct 28th 2008 5:21PM +1 to Robert's comments. It's laughable how many self-styled "experts" think they have this thing figured out.
The fact is, not only is Blu-Ray adoption conforming exactly to the pattern established by DVD, it's doing so at a faster rate than DVD did. A remarkable achievement, considering that DVD is, to date, the most quickly-adopted consumer electronics format ever. I was an early adopter of DVD - I only *wish* I'd had the wide variety of titles available in the second year of the DVD format that I currently enjoy with Blu-Ray.
Blu-Ray is doing and will continue to do just fine.

Is the firewall enabled in Mac OS X by default, or not? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 18th 2006 7:38PM Off by default has always been my experience. On my new MacBook, however, I turned it on for the first time, as I'll be using it on WLANs for which I don't know how secure they are.
iTunes: From 0 to 7.0 {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 15th 2006 1:01AM Regarding iTunes 2.0, at the time of its release in October 2001, the most current version of OS X was 10.1, having been just released as a free upgrade to the very slow and somewhat buggy 10.0, released in March 2001.
