    Taking WoW from PC -> Mac

    Let's say someone wanted to switch from PC to Mac and they played WoW. Would they be able to simply use another person's copy of the game and once it was installed use their account name and password to log in? It seems silly that they would need to purchase another copy of the game in order...

    POLL: Where will Ron Artest be traded to?

    Well, recent events have pretty much cemented the fact that Artest will not be playing in a Pacers uniform for an extended period of time. The big question is now, where will he end up? Personally some kind of a trade for Wally Sczerbiak would make me ecstatic. With KG, Cassell, Hassell...
