Take Your Orphan to Battlegrounds (Childrens Week)

An excellent introduction to the various Battlegrounds and their strategies for those who are unfamiliar with PvP but are going to try to do the Children's Week achievement School of Hard Knocks.  This is also a very good introduction for folks new to PvP, whether they are working on this Children's Week achievement or not.

Battle.net Integration Before Cataclysm

Blizzard is promising Battle.net integration (i.e., folks logged into Battle.net will be able to communicate with friends also logged into Battle.net, no matter which game or server or faction they are both playing) before Cataclysm hits.

No word on when Battle.net security will be improved to meet current industry standards.  Presumably when pigs fly.

The Greedy Goblin Discovers a Bot

He immediately reported it and since nothing has happened to the "player" in 48 hours, assumes that Blizzard supports boting.
