World of Warcraft goes Universal

Blizzard released a patch today to bring WoW up to 1.9.3, this patch, also turns it into a universal binary. So, if you play WoW and you’ve got one of the new x86 iMacs… get to patching, then when Blizzards lets you log in to play again (after the maintenance window is done) you’ll be playing with a native client (and then post somewhere what kinds of fps you get, settings etc..) err… of course.. that’s assuming that things will actually work after this weeks scheduled maintenance.. which hasn’t been the case for the last month or so… so maybe you better just plan on playing tomorrow

Darwin Award Candidates

Found this article yesterday about two people doing their best to be in the Darwin Awards for this year. From the article:

The two told Sheridan Police officers that a balloon filled with acetylene exploded in the back seat of the car. Acetylene is a highly flammable gas used in welding.

The two people filled the balloon with the gas in hopes of blowing it up at a Super Bowl party. The balloon exploded after rolling across the car’s backseat.

Yep.. you read that right.. these morons filled a balloon with a flammable gas used in welding (you know that is lit by a spark) and let it roll around to gather up static electricity.. and then they were apparently surprised that it exploded. Unfortunetly, despite their best efforts, they are not going to be qualified for this years Darwin Awards (yet, I’d image we’ll hear from these two geniuses again).since they lived through their stupidity…
