WoW and EVE are the ONLY two MMO's I know of that bothered to make a mac client of their game. I honestly can't think of a single other MMO that is dual platformed.
But who cares? Unless you have an old non-intel Apple system (in which case the system requirements wouldn't work for this game most likely) you just install Win 7 on a second partition or hard drive and play the game on your mac that way. Stop trying to complain about something that isn't an issue anymore.
Yup, it's basically KOTOR 3 but with a monthly subscription.

You should have stopped commenting right there. I was in Beta as well as started my early access on the 13th. While the voice acting is amazing and top notch graphics it is exactly like every other MMO out right now. Except they didn't put in a real LFG tool yet, though they have a PVP queue, and they don't have phasing like in WoW.
Honestly if this game didn't have STAR WARS in the name no one would care.
Stop thinking about space and get over it. Our bodies can't handle fast space travel anyway, so leave it to the octopi.
The first thing I see is:
Project Manager – Senior, Billed: $322,455 Paid: $101,690
That employee is getting paid roughly 1/3rd of the price of the contracted work, but I'm not sure what people are expecting here. Having worked with numerous types of consulting agencies both as a contractor with them and managing contracts it's not unusual that the agency that bills us at a rate of $120/hr is paying their employees/contractors anywhere between 10-60/hr depending on their responsibilities. The part-time social media intern is getting paid around $10/hr and the full-time web developer is getting around $60/hr, regardless of what is being done, and by who, the agency will bill the clients at a rate of $120/hr. This is pretty standard.
After leaving Team San Jose for a consulting project with Stanford University and mobile hospitality app developer NugoUgo, I have also began consulting for a medical device startup, Miramar Labs, in Sunnyvale. I'm also writing for MMOSite and Examiner.
From the financial end I've managed to get my wife and I out of debt, then of course picked up a second car for her and finally am hoping to start chopping away at our mortgage. Unfortunately I feel like a zombie most days.
That plenty of Green Businesses here in the Bay Area are doing very well, primarily Petersen Dean, though others include SunWize, RPS Solar and REC Solar to name a few. Of course they are all private sector businesses that our current government wouldn't concern themselves with because they only want to give handouts to corporate america and green start-ups that have no legitimate plan for growth or success.

While some may or may not like CyberPower, my main points are that you can't sell "gamers" a gaming system without a GTX card, the GT's just don't cut it and while a 320GB 7200 rpm drive is alright, you can get a 128GB SSD for about the same price, maybe around $30-50 more. No one uses anywhere near 320GB on their primary drive. I have Win7 with Office 2k10 Pro, Adobe CS Design Suite 5, LOTRO HR, DDO HR, WoW, Rift, EVE, STO, CO, PotBS, LoL and numerous web/net apps installed on my laptop and I'm using only 140GB of space.

I'm upset that none of the hot female teachers when I was growing up wanted to leave their husbands and bang me during and after my junior high classes.

If employees feel they are wasting their time in uninformative meetings, it's probably true, but I don't see how that's PowerPoints fault at all. Also, this caught my attention (from the article):
So is this just a promotional gimmick?

Well there you go. Now I see why it's being spread around the internet as "news".
