If you’ve ever played an MMORPG habitually, you know how difficult some bosses can be. Especially if your fellow guild members are shit-for-brain newbs. When you’re guild name is “Beyond the Limitation”, there’s little doubt that any one of your members gets out of the house on weekends. You’d think a bunch of geeks who never leave their rooms would be able to take down the infamous Pandemonium Warden.

Nope. This was not the case after 18 hours of play and 20 different forms of the boss. Beyond the Limitation became Beyond the Dead because they wiped so many times. Eventually, everyone gave up or got sick, reinforcing the thought that they are utter failures. You see, they’re not failures for failing to drop Pandemonium Warden; they’re failures for trying.

Ars Technica has gotten a hold of an internal e-mail sent out to Apple employees yesterday. It’s from Steve Jobs and guess what? He’s not very happy about MobileMe. Not at all. In fact, Jobs thinks that MobileMe should have been rolled out piece-by-piece or delayed somewhat. He says the launch was “not up to Apple’s standards.”

“It was a mistake to launch MobileMe at the same time as iPhone 3G, iPhone 2.0 software and the App Store,” he says. “We all had more than enough to do, and MobileMe could have been delayed without consequence.”

He then goes on to give MobileMe an oral handjob and says it’s going to rock in the future. It most likely will, but this is one of the few times Apple let its guard down and got beat. Better watch out, Jobs.

We wish we could say we were joking about this, but it’s indeed serious. The shaved ex-husband of the newly shaved Britney Spears has announced his intentions on adding his name into the search engine arena. Among competitors are Google, Yahoo, and the lesser known Ask J-Lo. Yes, the J-Lo thing is a joke.

In addition to worst rapper of all time, Ex-Mr. Spears, and being an unsuccessful professional wrestler, you can add Web2.0 failure to the list. Or at least you’ll be able to in a few weeks we’re sure. — Andrew Dobrow
