It doesn't help that WoW has ground in very deeply to the MMO community the idea that the only good MMO is one with a painful leveling experience

I see you've never played Final Fantasy XI. Leveling in WoW is so easy, it's almost a joke.

On: Star Trek Online Going Free-To-Play In January

I wish Final Fantasy XI would become free-to-play too. Or at least open source the servers or something.

Banks are offering loans to create make work projects for which they will never get repaid.

From what I've heard on TV shows, it's exactly what happened in the USA.

At last!

On: Adobe Ends Development of Flash On Mobile Browsers

Mobile being the future of the Web, it should also means the end of Flash on the desktop in a few years. Nobody's going to waste money doing Flash for the desktop and HTML5 for the mobiles, especially when the desktops can already do HTML5 too.

Applications done in Flash but compiled to Adobe Air is okay, just don't trash the Web with the stupid plug-ins.

Next step: agreeing on a CODEC for the HTML5 videos*. That's gonna be a fun topic!

* doesn't the tag allow for two source files? If it doesn't, it should!
