...if you consider how many American dollars a sword, piece of armor, or gold fetches in the aftermarket of popular MMORPG's, compared to what the average Chinese worker makes in a month, you may be addicted to farming in these games also.
I'd say good design is more about controlling the presentation of your message, and has very little to do with the "graphics". In my experience there is one driving element to good design in print and online: legibility.
If your message can be understood by great use of type, then you achieve getting the message across. This applies to both print and web. I don't think flashy graphics help, and can sometimes distract. When we're designing ads for clients, or doing page layout, we stay away from the real flashy stuff and use the type to control the message.
You also need to be weary of reader tendencies in how you approach putting the type elements on a page. If you do this one simple thing you may find your stuff looks way more polished. Wanna see awesome type layout online? http://alistapart.com/
That's a classy website.
It's about controlling free speech and information dissemination. When there are vast networks of information distribution controlled by the people, that raises eyebrows.
....women buy the men chocolate for Valentine's Day. True story. Just thought I'd throw that out there for all you males across the world dishing out lots of cash on chocolates, roses, and names on the side of space craft!
It has to be hard to get a piece of the market share, World of Warcraft has blown past every other North American MMO to date....and let's not ever talk about Lineage in Asia. I can't imagine that there are "that" many people into MMORPG games out there. We're probably getting to the point of market saturation, though only time will tell.
What I also think will be revolutionary is the future generation of HDR monitors. Imagine being able to see truer to life color depth? It seems like we've been using the same monitor technology for so long.
They really should consider allowing an FPO AP category for Americans abroad to post their news. I could see this being somewhat revolutionary if used right.
In the case of YouTube, what makes me even more pissed off is that the community makes YouTube. The community is wholly content driven, and Google steps in and takes control, literally, making it what they want.
After everything we've been through as a country I really feel that a great potential candidate is going to be torn down by the politics in Washington. The race for the presidency hasn't even begun, but the political assassinations seem to be underway....

Good point.

I was waiting a few days to be able to access a video that was put up. LiveVideo might just have a chance if YouTube keeps this up.
Oh, in that case sign me up.
What is the major draw of upgrading to Vista?

I used to play MMORPGs as what I would classify as "obsessive", but then you start to realize that there's more to life and farming for plat.

Why don't the American people storm their buildings with pitchforks?

While I'm not a religious person, I think that the phrase, "Money is the root of all evil" has more than a shred of truth to it.
