Much worse, AAPL is going to take a big plunge - no matter how awesome and flashy the 4S features are. After the HUGE pre-event hype and blabla, everyone is only going to take "What, NO iPhone 5????" away from this, sadly.

What you are talking about here is rather meeting people for business or business-related purposes and for furthering your own career and especially your personal gain; this isn't just "meeting people" and find personal friends, this is soc

This "meta gaming" (game outside the real game) is a very very important and integral part of EVE. A very popular thing to do is play as a "spy" or do those or other kinds of scams. The biggest alliances in EVE were destroyed from within by

But he did not have that name before he started his scheme, right? Same with all the EVE bank scams... none of them were all that famous and started "from scratch" and at first just baited people with normal operations. The difference is th

Even worse then! Why should an organization trying to leak as much about anyone they can and matters be above their own standards and mantras? If "True information does good." well then who knows what this and the other leaks were good for.
