Review: Peregrine Gaming Glove

WOW Head takes a look at the Peregrine Gaming Glove, which is only available on pre-order right now.  This weird thing replaces a keyboard and the reviewer thinks it has great potential.  It has to be programmed on a PC running Windows XP but after that it'll run on any system.  The reviewer used it on his Mac after borrowing an XP system to set it up.

Divine Aegis Talent for Discipline Priests

The Penance Priest discusses Divine Aegis in detail, along with side exertions into Inspiration and Grace.  I am not clear as to whether this talent is available to all healers but it looks like it. Clarification in the Comments would be appreciated.

Raid Icons Guide UPDATED

A guide to raid icons.  Anything with a skull on it is the main target, etc.
http://www.wow.com/2010/03/04/wow-rookie-stay-on-target-with-raid-icons/#continued

UPDATE  The Solo MMO Player thinks that there are more than 1-2 standard raid icons so I dug up this six month old article that also explains raid icons.
http://dreambound-druid.blogspot.com/2009/08/raid-icons.html

WOW Wiki has its own take on the raid icon convention.  Note that as of Patch 3.3, any raid member can mark with icons.  Previously only the raid leader could do so.

Bob Turkey uses hot keys for his raid icons.

I also found this 2007 article about various addons you can use with raid icons.  I have no idea if any of the addons listed are usable with Patch 3.3.
