Google leads charge to dismiss Paul Allen's 'scattershot' lawsuit Paul Allen vs. the Internet, the Internet is joining forces to fight back. The online giants sued for patent infringement by the Microsoft co-founder in August have quietly aligned in an early bid to derail the litigation -- contending that the suit doesn't adequately back up its claims that they're running afoul of approaches pioneered by Allen's defunct Interval Research.

Netflix testing $7.99 and $8.99 streaming-only plans in US right now When CEO Reed Hastings called Netflix "primarily a streaming company that also offers DVD-by-mail," he wasn't messing around, as the company's quietly made streaming-only plans a reality on US shores. Strangely enough, however, it seems the firm hasn't quite decided how much the new plan should cost, as depending on which computer and web browser you use to navigate Netflix's website you'll see a different result Engadget

Been upgrading my rig for Cataclysm! Bring it on Deathwing!
-
Cataclysm is looking pretty sweet, I decided not to play any on the beta this year so I can experience it all on release. IMO Blizzard has done such an amazing job with the great lineup of games they produce and I'm sure ill be playing their games for several more years.
-
I was a little disappointed with the announcements from Blizzcon this year. I was hoping for at least an announcement of their new MMO project or a little more on Diablo 3. The new cataclysm expansion does look very good and not that far away.
-
I hear ya, I really wanted to make it to Blizzcon this year but couldnt due to work. I've heard from several others that it wasnt as good this year due to the lack of announcements.
-
Cataclysm is enough to make me come back after not playing for 3 months. Between it and everyone else I know coming back should be a fun.
-
Another life-wasting WoW update for the masses...Congrats to people for making them wealthy.
-
just bring diablo 3, the wait is so painful... but i know we wont be dissapointed
-
Maybe its just me, but I didnt see anything about Heart of the Swarm (HotS)?
On a side note, Blizzard is making a Left 4 Dead, Bejeweled, and DotA knockoff for SC2 (called Left 2 Die, Starjeweled, and Blizzard DotA respectively) and some other ones.
-
I hope cataclysm brings something new to the table..

Why would anyone want to run video games on windows 2000? Or better yet why would anyone want to even run windows 2000? Upgrade to windows 7 already!

MIcrosoft PC Games from the browser, wow, what a good idea... or at least it would be if GoG.com hadn't already done it really well. I'm thinking this is why they're looking at this more seriously, possibly due to GoG (Good Old Games) success. That aside, I think it could work for them if they follow GoG's model and how they do it. I've purchased quite a few games from GoG and love the service.

DONT GO BACK , wow is such a life controlling game i use to be exactly like you raid 5 hours a night, 4 times a week + farming and instances etc etc etc, just uninstall game and go do something else.

There's a few questlines in Cataclysm that make the game worth playing, looks amazing.
-
Diablo 3 is the one I have been waiting most eagerly for. Is there an actual release date for it yet?
-
I must say, Diablo is looking like it might actually hold my attention for longer than a couple of weeks. Can't wait for the PVP, and more importantly, a game that isn't rebalanced every week due to PVP imbalances.
-
the article fooled me, i did not see where D3 was mentioned in the articles... been waiting for it for years now
-
Ah ha! Never even knew that Microsoft had their own digital download game site. No wonder i couldn't find Gears of War for PC anywhere.
