US Army to Push X-Files Tech Development, Invade World of Warcraft

The US Army is ramping up the development of technology right out of the X-Files, "making science fiction into reality" as Dr. John Parmentola—Director of their Research and Laboratory Management—puts it. The list of things currently in the works is amazing: Regenerating body parts on "nano-scaffolding", telepathy through electronic impulses in the scalp, and self-aware virtual photorealistic soldiers that can be deployed in the battlefield through "quantum ghost imaging". To test these they want to use them into a massively multi-player online games like World of Warcraft or Eve online: More »

Which is good, since you're going to be very lonely if you buy one. Update: SteelSeries says that Mac drivers will be out in Dec. or Jan. More »

The Pentagon Preps for World of Warcraft Invasion (No, Seriously)

Yes, friends, according to a recent presentation by Dr. Dwight Toavs, professor at the Pentagon's National Defense University, virtual worlds could easily hide a real terrorist plot. And to illustrate his point, Toavs supplied this example screen from World of Warcraft. It looks innocent enough, just documenting a good old dragon fire spell on the south gates of the Keep. Unless...wait...what could they really be referring to? More »

Like WoW, The Pirate Bay Has Reached 10 Million

Torrent sharing group The Pirate Bay has asserted itself as "World's Largest Tracker," now claiming over 10 million peers sharing 1 million files. Not only is 10 million more than the population of New York City, it's just about equal to the user numbers of the most successful MMO on the planet, World of Warcraft, which not so long ago announced the same user milestone...and may have a thing or two to say about The Pirate Bay's title.
