]]> Comment on Cheap $150 Laptop - Scam Or Real? by Heidi Loomis http://www.thebetanews.com/cheap-150-laptop-hoax-or-real/#comment-9044 Heidi Loomis Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:55:52 +0000 http://www.thebetanews.com/cheap-150-laptop-hoax-or-real/#comment-9044 I would say that this is definitely a scam, but if it is legit you will most likely spend hours of time signing up for memberships that you will have to cancel at the end of the month. If you don't cancel them, your credit card will automatically get charged at the end of the month. Be sure to research websites with your local BBB or sites like http://www.trustreport.com before handing over any kind of personal information to a website.

It's possible that Google Ocean might help in forecasting tsunami's and better accuracy in weather patterns. I cannot wait until this project is ready and available for the public.

]]> Comment on 9 Reasons Why Blogging Is Just Like Playing World Of Warcraft by Dennis Bjørn Petersen http://www.thebetanews.com/blogging-is-just-like-wow/#comment-8970 Dennis Bjørn Petersen Thu, 26 Jun 2008 14:41:10 +0000 http://www.thebetanews.com/?p=674#comment-8970 Dan: Very true indeed. You can replace the word "blogging" with "cooking" in the post and it will have almost the same meaning. Adam: Thank you very much for your input. Do you use twitter? You'll notice a lot of people saying: "So tired, but I have to finish this blog post" Take a look at Michael Arrington from TechCrunch. You don't get to look like that from going early to bed ;) (No disrespect to Arrington if you read this) You've just help me prove my point. You are in constant competition when blogging. Every one wants to be the first one to break the news about the MSFT/Yahoo deal or the new Mac gadget. I bet a lot of bloggers are getting all kinds of emails from fans who wants this and that. Call it nurf. I know of several relationships in the blogosphere, that has been destroyed because of blogging. Gold farmers are all those "blogs" that steal your content in order to earn a few Adsense money. I've never played WoW to be honest, but the title wouldn't be as catchy if I wrote Everquest 2. Everybody knows WoW ;) Dan: Very true indeed. You can replace the word “blogging” with “cooking” in the post and it will have almost the same meaning.

Since no one on wow knows how much gold you have, then you cannot really put that down. "They are often among the first to reach the highest level, complete difficult quests and try out new things." Really only the guilds are the celebs, the players within mean nothing too much, most guilds have noobs, even the best, however if your in a good guild - you would perhaps get more respect than whats due (unless your me). I really cant see how you can class the two like that.. How long have you played wow for? Because its completely different! Oh and most women hate wow, or computer games :) Get me a women who will play wow - good game ;) Ok,

From a hardcore WoW player, since beta’s POV then your saying;

Blogging takes too much time,

Screws up your relationships,

Totally Addicted to it,

Your constantly getting nurf by some retards who make a game and have no grasp about it, or whats best for certain classes,

Constantly in competition,

Do a shitload of hardwork to get something, which is then damn near given away for free elsewhere,

Have china gold farmers messaging you all the time (i suppose that could be related to spam blog posts) :)
