How Warcraft reigned supreme in 2008

Tech issues

I like WOTLK, but I do worry about WoW in general as it seems to get more bugs and issues in a game that they've worked on for 4+ years. Something in the underlying tech seems to be creaking at the seams.

When everything is explained with "lag" you might want to rethink your approach to it.

What I really want is for "someone" to do GTA World and let you form all kinds of guilds/gangs/corporations/families and plan/execute massive heists, and a bit of assassinations and deliveries on the side.

IBM's eight-core Power7 chip to clock in at 4.0GHz

Because they can

They copied the Sun partitioning, probevue, and whatnot because they can.

They added dual serviceprocessors because they can.

And whenever someone comes up with a point they think IBM is lacking, IBM will order their people to go out and make sure the bat they get hit with is nerfed.

IBM wont let others be able to say "X is _so_ good and look at how IBM is lacking that".

And if it is not a question about $ VS $ then I'll generally take the IBM technology when I can.
