Rash and I are finished with World of Warcraft but there’s still around 10 million people who are still grinding hard. Anyone who’s played the game and used UI add-ons like threat meters, CTMod, etc. know that it’s a pain in the ass logging on from another computer due to the issue of UI settings being localized.

When Blizzard launches the WoW expansion pack Wrath of the Lich King, players will be happy to know that UI settings will be stored on your server. This means as long as your friend’s computer has the proper add-ons installed, you’re in the clear. Just one more way to keep you glued to your seat for several hours at a time.

Remember how Yahoo fucked you out of all your music by shutting down its DRM server and not giving you any reimbursements? Well, it has rightfully decided to reimburse its paying customers. Turns out Yahoo feels bad for screwing customers over. Nice of Yahoo! Music to consider the folks who keep its workers from going hungry.

Yahoo, in return for shutting down their music service, is promising either refunds or a replacement DRM-free version of tracks that you downloaded via its service. All current users will automatically migrate to Real’s Rhapsody service. Gone are the days that the recording industry makes money off of forcing folks to rebuy all their music every time there’s a format change. Trent Reznor makes his music free, why can’t everyone else?

I must admit, I was a bit skeptical of a man living in the clouds watching mankind like a lousy Nick at Night sitcom. However, news of a remote controlled floating tray that delivers refreshing beverages is proof that there is a god and that he isn’t a dick.

Like the floating speaker, relaxing by the pool just got a bit more - well, relaxing. This remote controlled float can hold up to five drinks and has a center bowl perfect for nachos. Just don’t shit in the pool. Like a shitty raft, it’s just begging to be sent down the Nile. You know, like Moses.
