A subscription to World of Warcraft costs 14.99 a month (a buck or two less if you buy your subscription in 3 or 6 month chunks). That comes out to $180 bucks a year. Not bad. Quite a bit cheaper then just about any other hobby you could name. Or is it?

Windows 7 Benchmarks

And in order to check off Getting a Take-down Notice from my Bucket List, I’ll be posting a series of Windows 7 benchmarks (Using Build 7000) later this week.
Microsoft probably won’t even notice.

Metal Gear Solid Touch (?!)
If you were waiting for the next big name publisher to make a game for the iPhone, wait no longer. Kojima Productions, developers of the much acclaimed Metal Gear series are bringing their stealth action shooter to the iPhone and iPod Touch. 1UP is reporting that the game will be based on characters from MGS4, that it will ship with 8 initial levels, and that there is precious little information available besides that.
And if doesn’t do it for you, Konami is also bringing Dance Dance Revolution, Silent Hill, and Frogger to the iPhone.
DDR? Really?At least the Tap Tap Revolution people were honest with their name.
