The Rarest Hunter Pets

Zardoz has calculated the rarest hunter pets in his Armory data mining adventures.  These are not rare items, they are the least tamed pets and include one that is no longer tamable.  If you want something different, check the list.

Mobile Guild Chat and Blizzard's Other New Gizmos

Larisa looks at the new features Blizzard has introduced in the last year or so, tries to decide which are hits (sparkle pony) and which are misses (in-game chat line and the mobile Auction House), and wonders which category the mobile guild chat capability will fall in.  She doesn't mention the mobile Armory, which I've wondered about.  Does anyone pay for this?

The Cataclysm Economy Report (Justice Points)

Several posts have hit the Internet that discuss the changes to the currency system in Cataclysm.  The first link discusses whether it makes sense to sell your emblems now or wait to exchange them for heirlooms.

WOW Head has added a emblems-to-justice-points update to their website.   Note that the changes will hit with Patch 4.0.1 instead of waiting until Cataclysm.
