Spies in Azeroth
Like they have nothing better to do: U.S. spies are now developing software to detect extremists in our peaceful world of warcraft. The ultimate goal of project Reynard is “automatically detecting suspicious behavior and actions in the virtual world”. This is all about data-mining. Once this works in the virtual world you can guess where this will be used can’t you? A nice article can be found here.
So you better be careful who you duel the next time you enter Azeroth.

Let’s hope they stay out of Counterstrike. I always play for the terrorist team, and I have an email address in the iamaterrorist.com domain registered for the game….

You’re hosed man. Only a reallife terrorist would use an email address like that. They are probably reading your mail right now. If I were you I’d deinstall Counterstrike and install ‘My Little Pony’. Hours of good clean fun.

I’m having trouble imagening how I would install one of those ponies.
I guess there’s plenty of room inside the case, but that would make it kinda hard to play with them.
And I’m thinking they will not do much for the airflow inside my pc….
Please elaborate!

I managed to get one in: I poked the eyes from its head, cut its hair, ripped the head off and broke its legs. I put all in a blender and installed the remains in the computer. When the computer is under heavy load it smells like roasted horse and sometimes it oozes small drops of blood.
Here’s some screenshots from the game, I know you like this better than StarCraft II
