Blizzard Versus Glider Bots: The Latest

Thanks to Kotaku, I've found an article about the latest in the legal battle between Blizzard and the company that created and sold the Glider bots so that players could level their characters automatically.  It covers the key points that Blizzard and MDY Industries each won in the latest round in this court battle.

If you are interested in legal issues as they relate to video games, bookmark this site.  It's interesting.

PvP Gear in Cataclysm

Cynwise explains all the types of PvP gear available to players now that Season 9 has started.  It's a complex system that is much changed from what was available pre-Cataclysm.

Yet Another Phishing Scam (the Gawker Hack)

WOW player email boxes are crammed full of phishing emails pretending to be Blizzard warning about last weekend's Gawker hack and asking for a password reset,  but some of those emails are actually from Blizzard.  An example of the real thing is shown at Kotaku.  I imagine a visit to your Battle.net account will help you figure out what's real and what's fake if you used the same email address for Gawker and Blizzard accounts.
