Ferocity or Cunning?
2010-02-25
I've recently switched to a wolf for leveling with (one of the demon puppies from Zul'drak), and I'm loving it. He has tons of skills to stay alive, does a fair amount of damage, and holds threat just fine with Aspect of the Beast. I'll probably stick with him up to 80, then level up my wind serpent...at which point I get to decide which family I want to raid with, and that's going to be tough.
Ferocity does great damage and has a lot of skills to stay alive and happy--it doesn't matter that my wolf only eats meat, because I never have to feed him. Cunning seems to do ...

Vivendi's New Vitality
2009-09-19
From San Diego to Seoul, more than 4 million people shell out an average of $15 a month to wage battle against orcs, trolls, and the undead in World of Warcraft, a megahit fantasy game that's played over the Internet. In France, cell-phone users are paying $8.70 a month to watch TV shows on their handsets. Music lovers worldwide are spending more than $300 million a year to download songs, music videos, and cell-phone ringtones. After years of false starts, it's finally happening: Customers are paying to get digital entertainment, wherever and whenever they want it. And guess who's cashing in: Vivendi Universal (V). // //

That name ring a bell? Mais oui -- it's the former French utility company that nearly collapsed after former Chief Executive Jean-Marie Messier tried to transform it into a global powerhouse in digital media. Three years after Messier's ouster, Vivendi has regained its financial health. Debt has been pared back from over $25 billion to $5 billion. Currency-adjusted first-half revenues were up 7%, to $11.4 billion, and the company is forecasting a 37% rise in profits for the full year, to $2.2 billion.

But more important, the Paris company is in pole position to capitalize on the rapid spread of digitized entertainment. Its Universal Music Group is already a pacesetter, having become the first music company to sign on with Apple Computer Inc.'s (AAPL) popular iTunes venture two years ago. Now the music group is aggressively promoting music and ringtone downloads to mobile operators worldwide as a new generation of Web-enabled handsets comes on the market. The Vivendi Universal Games unit is planning to roll out games for mobile phones, too. "A significant part of our growth for the next five years will come from these intersections" between new technologies and Vivendi's digital storehouse, says CEO Jean-Bernard Lévy, who was promoted from chief operating officer last spring, when Messier's successor, Jean-René Fourtou, became superv...

Columnist Links Games to Acceptance of Torture
2010-02-08
In an article for the Huffington Post, columnist Kari Henley claims that the laissez-faire attitude many Americans have toward "enhanced interrogation" - that is, torture - is the result of too much time spent indulging in violent media.
The use of techniques like waterboarding, physical violence and "stress positions" during interrogations of prisoners in the "war on terror" has been the subject of heated debate since the Obama administration took office and declared such tactics off-limits. While the general feeling regarding the revelations of torture by U.S. forces has been one of outrage, a recent survey by the Pew Research Center found that a significant number of U.S. citizens believed the use of torture was "often" or "sometimes" justified.
In her column, Henley suggests that one of the reasons Americans are tolerant of torture is t...

How to Make Call to Foreign Countries Cheep
2009-08-25
Phone cards is really good business nowadays that demanded about ten years for its development. There were lots of difficulties on the way of being a large type of industry. You may confront a great number of calling card traders on the market nowadays. With the development of modern technologies we can expect that the service will be only better tomorrow. It's not also hard to buy calling cards today.
The major reason for little prices that are offered by lots of corporations for making multinational or domestic calls is VoIP (Voice over IP). It assists to make normal line of balance between quality and price of calls. This is the system of pre-paid phone calls. You make payment beforehand considering the amount you suppose to expend. So, you manage the sum you pay, even if little rates aren't enough for you. You may receive a card for 5, 10, 20 and 50 USD. You may always check you account to realize how many funds is left on your phone card. This scheme exempts you from receiving large telephone invoices, that is really comfortabl...

2009-05-26
i agree with the rest... shadow is best for leveling by far, and healing for pre-outlands instaes is easy enough (just save mana)... good lk and happy leveling :D
Eh, it's not a problem if you want to level as shadow in a duo, but I'm of the opinion that shadow is best for leveling only if you level alone. The key to shadow's effiey is Spirit Tap, whh prs only if you get the kill. By virtue of being in a duo you will inevitably split kills, hurting your effiey. Additionally,asting SW: Pain and Vampir Toh is nigh-useless in a duo, as mobs will almost never live long enough for the spells to be mana-effient. All the same, there's nothing _wrong_ with duoing as shadow. However, the differee between leveling as shadow and leveling as, say, Diline is not NEARLY as pronoued in a d...
