Symbols are a double edged sword. I once had a username/password combo using unusual symbols and lo and behold when they upgraded the system they decided in all their wisdom to remove support for those symbols.
I was fucked.
Had to contact them and have someone manually change my username and password (hardly ideal) and then I had to set up a new password as soon as I regained access.
If it's free it doesn't matter if it's in testing or final release. It's a just a service that will improve over time due to natural trial and error. Accidents happen and that's ok.
Just label it released, fix things as they happen and that would be that. That's what everyone else does and it works.
When is a service ever "finished"? There's always going to be continuous development until the day they shut it down.
Just sounds like they're using "testing" titles to cover their asses when things inevitably go wrong. Like the websites of the 90%'s with their "under construction" signs.
If they launched it for the public they should be held responsible for what goes wrong. Plain and simple.
I see 404 pages when trying to vaguely remember addresses. Like trying to quickly go somewhere on battle.net wondering if it's battle.net/store or store.battle.net etc.
It's for a monocle. That your character wears. In a space Sim.
Call me crazy, but who cares? People who want to support the game can buy them and people who don't want to can ignore the whole thing. It's not like it gives them any stat boosts or advantages other than looking snazzy in their character portraits. Something which I can only imagine matters very little when trying to keep your hull integrity intact and/or mining resources.
Some may argue that reviewers are prone to bribes, ignore that concept for now.
I love many games most people don't and hate certain "popular" games. Not to mention playing something yourself is guaranteed to give you a much much better impression of what a game is like than reading someone elses opinion on it..

How long did Google mail stay in beta?

That sounds like the plot for the inevitable porn spoof.

Collectively, twitter is also faster and less accurate than news outlets.
Do you know what it's for?

As for the kids stuff:
Better to just target both genders equally with games such as the Lego franchise.
(Which I happen to enjoy as well as a grown man...)
Except the service was free.
A reviewer isn't me.

You mean like Vista did?
Oh, wait. Users just stayed on the previous working version until MS released a better upgrade.
What do you think this is? Your personal blog?
(And for those who don't get the joke, yes, i know ;)
Wonder if he had Nailin Paylin.
I don't see how those two are mutually exclusive?
