Instead of only being annoyingly childish in Barrens chat, now you can tweet all of your testosterone-fueled Chuck Norris quotes to the entire world using TweetCraft, the first Twitter client for World of Warcraft, just like nature intended.

TweetCraft not only allows you to tweet and receive tweets in-game, but allows you to tweet snapshots from your gaming experience, queue tweets for convenience and even auto-tweet whenever you log-on to the game. Who knows how long this unofficial client will last. Blizzard has been known to put their foot down in several similar situations.

Follow us on Twitter to join the convo, @gearfuse. We’d love to see your WoW tweets, or really, whatever you have to say.

The future geeks of America are going to have about as much patience to learn in school as a mouse has patience to escape a mouse trap. Technology has minimized patience to a minimum, thanks to the speed of now. So, how are we going to teach future generations the essentials? Such as reading.

The A-Z of Awesomeness caught my attention right away, so I just know that a 12-year-old boy would just be sucked right in. Me and my Vietnamese boy slave have about the same patience level. In other words? This is the education method of the future! Check out more alphabetical awesomeness after the jump.

Wow. You know, I was dreaming earlier this morning that I owned a Ferrari F360, but now even that is enough to keep the shock out of me regarding this news. The Pirate Bay, a website famous for pioneering the online torrent market, has been acquired by Global Gaming Factory X (GGF) for $7.7 million. What does this mean for TPB’s users?

Bad news, according to TorrentFreak. While the TPB will become a publicly traded company on a Swedish exchange, it will ditch the fact that it hosts and tracks torrents. Now, a third-party company will be used to serve up torrents, leading the way for copyrighted material to be forbidden from being uploaded. Or, worse, GGF could shut the site down for good. Ugh.

Apple officially announced today that Steve Jobs has returned to Apple as its CEO. As you probably know, Jobs has been out of commission since January due to poor health. Most people speculated his cancer had returned but Jobs dismissed that as a mere rumor, stating that he had some kind of “hormonal imbalance.”

I’m glad Jobs is back. Now I won’t have to deal with certain sites looking like this.

Amazing. The Onion is reporting that Twitter creator Jack Dorsey had “never intended for it to be useful.” The report claims that Dorsey created the service for attention-starved idiots who have nothing else better to do. Without a doubt, it is the greatest description of Twitter.

Says Dorsey:

“Twitter was intended to be a way for vacant, self-absorbed egotists to share their most banal and idiotic thoughts with anyone pathetic enough to read them.”

He goes on to state that his latest project will be so useless, the Iranian people won’t even be able to use it. Additionally, Dorsey’s nose ring will hold a separate press conference next week.

Is this proof that time travel, indeed, exists? I want to believe, baby! Please tell me Marty McFly would never lie to me!

By the way, I think my brain just imploded.

So here’s the deal. Apparently, the Thai people really, really love pandas. They love pandas so much that they are willing to paint their national animal, the elephant, to look just like over-sized smelly versions of the cuddly bears.

Keepers of Thailand’s Ayutthaya Elephant Kraal threw some paint on five of these huge rodentphobic mammals and paraded them through the streets, much to the pleasure of the Thai school children. Some seen to think that the elephant keepers have gone a little too far. But I look at it this way, at least these elephants aren’t being processed for meat, skin and ivory. I think the elephants look pretty happy considering. More pics after the jump.

Remember in school when you’d waste time by trying to make funny words with your calculator (lol, “boobs”)? We’ve grown up. We’re way past the days of trying to make naughty words on our tools of arithmetic. These days, we’ve turned to our Mac OS X docks for our creative word challenges.

Check out some more words after the jump and give it a try yourself.
