Well, don't forget that they'll also be tied into their ISP more, because the Google-hosted Service is so much better than that which ISPs traditionally offer. So, basically, they're evil for charging some money for a superior service.

I'm not sure what the article thinks is the better choice-a free, crappy service? i.e the status quo?

That statement suggests that Oasis wrote songs that *weren't* uninspired and derivative of the Beatles. Perhaps you separate the Beatles rip-offs from the solo Lennon rip-offs?

And quite often it's the bands - typically the bands manager will ensure the publishing and distribution contracts are limited to specific territories. One reason behind that is that when you start out as an unknown in your home territory, it's difficult to negotiate a great contract, but once you've got success, you can get better deals in a second territory. Of course, these days the nature of the business has changed dramatically - but I think it would be wrong for Apple to force publishing companies (and therefore musicians) into global contracts, much as it may benefit US consumers.

As someone who pvps in the "twink" brackets and has some high lvl enchants I personally think that blizzard could fix the problem simply by capping enchants. No enchants above 150 skill on items below lvl 20 req and no enchants above lvl 225 on items below lvl 30 req. That would solve the "Twink" problem. No +100 chest, no crusader, no +15 agi no fiery. the difference between a shadowfang and a cruel barb is not that great, its the +15 agi, crusader, fiery, lifestealing etc that make "twinks" so much more powerful.

As for skill, most people would call my 10-19 a "twink" (many blues +100 HP chest, +7 sta bracers n boots) that toon is revered and i have other exalted toons. I pvp alot, I know what I'm doing and I know how to win. As a horde, we're outgreared and outleveled in probably 60% of games, but for some reason I seem to win about 80% of the time. Before I get accused of being the 1000g rogue, I'm the 50g priest, healing the crap out of the untwinked war kicking your butt.

As the guy above said... if you guys think facing 10-19 twinks is bad, wait till you get to 60 in blues n greens and face off against guys n gals in tier 2.
