Think Pathaelon the Calculator, who you keep running into as you level in BC.
That's an excellent point - every time I was doing a quest in which Pathaelon popped up and turned up to be the antagonist behind the scenes, I'd think "Not YOU again! You bloody troublemaker! Some day I am going to hunt you down in the Mechanar and farm you silly".
Some kind of incidental music that goes "Dun dun DUUUUUN!" every time Arthas pops up twiddling his moustache would be good too. "Where is the rent? I must have the rent! Dollars, dimes and nickels, I need them all right nooooow!"
You are aware that 2010 is a mere 2 1/2 years away, right?
Come off it - CPU architecture on the desktop is moving a little faster than you appreciate. Planning NOW to release a 32bit OS in 2010...it may as well boast about VGA support.
Wowhead provides a LOT of content. More crucial is what it doesn't provide - pages of lame comments full of crap from kids. It has genuinely useful and informative WoW-related information, written up by intelligent players. The dross sgets very quickly moderated down by the site users.
It also has a very powerful and customisable search tool compared to other sites.
The reason Wowhead is, in my opinion, the best WoW database around is the quality, depth and range of the content followed by the actual design of the site. Compare it to Alla's/Thottbot's/etc hideous design and swollen out-dated information, filled with crap comments, spam and overloaded with adverts. It's a bit like how Google was a few years ago compared to Yahoo and Alta Vista.
This sale is probably a bad thing, in terms of quality of the site as it currently stands. Thottbot was used to launch that.ani vulnerability a while back too. I expect more adverts, changes in the design to accommodate more adverts, a flood of new users filling it with crap and spam just like all the other sites...
Still, not bad money for what is essentially a pretty front-end to content other people have created for you! What a shame that something about the whole deal just seems...suspicious. The press release is cringeworthy - full of "We're sure these guys are HIP and COOL!" and "We'd NEVER do anything EVIL! We're not GOOGLE!" crud.

55318008 is better.
This is excellent news. Truly this will be the best 2003 ever!
I wonder where this guy went to school.
It wasn't hacked! Their website clearly states it is down for scheduled maintenance. Honestly, some people need to stop spreading these fake stories!
"Do no business"
So a galaxy is not like a series of tubes, it is like a truck? Fascinating insight there.
Yet more pixel crack for me to collect! Woohoo!
The certificate mentions Intel-based Apple hardware but not PPC...wonder why that is. Is PPC Leopard actually AmigaOS in disguise or something?
CNET should be wondering if they actually know what Moore's Law is.
32bit operating system in 2010...I wonder how many floppy disks Microsoft will be supplying it on.
Say no more than this.
Nah. Just Bigpengian was deprecated in favour of Littlepengian.
Obviously the end result of an unpopular fork.

Someone else is suckling at their cash cow, from a teat which they didn't think to suckle from themselves.
Not the Chinese farmers, not the players who don't buy gold.
Blizzard.
It reads like a rip-off of Coupland's Microserfs.
Countdown to book release in 3...2..1...
