Some of my friends and I regularly lan Starcraft.
On a large kitchen table. 8 of us. Just using my macbook to create a wireless network. No router. No battlenet. Not Third party. It always works. It's never down. We can play whenever, and really where ever we want.
I'm really disappointed that blizzard is trying to compare the social aspect of gaming over battlenet to sitting across from your friends and screaming uncontrollably when you get lurked really really badly.
I've always been under the opinion that the largest companies in an industry create the standards?
I understand that IE isn't a particularly 'safe' browser, but isn't that more because it makes more sense for hackers and whatnot to go after IE users because they account for a larger portion of the market share?

No real data loss. Right. I just have to purchase Leopard in order to get bootcamp working again.
So. The easy fix is spending 130$ on a piece of software that I had absolutely no intention of buying.
