Though the article isn't exactly about the Government sending Night Elf
spies to find Osama Bin Laden's Orc counterpart, it is an interesting article.
From what I could understand is a Congress bill was passed to start learning
more about online communities, how they react, work, etc. Then from that they
can then establish a way to red-flag in-game terrorist plotting. Though, why
waste the money? I can almost be completely sure there are more pedophiles in
MMOs then there are Terrorist. Well, this would explain why no one can find
Osama Bin Laden; he's too busy trying to kill Illidan. "You are not prepared".

Now the core route of this project is interesting. How does a virtual world
differ from a real world (besides to lack of females)? It will be interesting
to see the public results but honestly, I have to conclude this gets an F for
use of government funds.

So Recently a lady is sueing Best Buy $54 million on purpose of losing her PC when it went in for a warranty repair.

<Don't dismiss Raelyn Campbell
as a crackpot. Not yet. Listen to her story, and then decide if she's
doing the right thing by asking Best Buy to compensate her to the tune
of $54 million for a laptop that went missing when she took it in to
Best Buy for repair under the store's own extended warranty.
