Microsoft’s European Data Fair Game For Patriot Act
Just like the majority of people asking themselves this question, we were pretty sure about the answer from the start. “Can Microsoft guarantee that EU-stored data, held in EU based datacenters, will not leave the European Economic Area under any circumstances — even under a request by the Patriot Act?”, inquired an intrepid attendee at the Office 365 launch. The answer was more candid than anyone could have expected.(...)Original Story Microsoft’s European Data Fair Game For

World Of Warcraft Now Free To Play Up To Level 20
It’s probably better that I’ve never played one solitary iota of World of Warcraft, as my valued memories would now undoubtedly be irremediably cheapened, sullied and trodden upon by the unwashed boots of the hobnailed masses. Or at least that’s what I imagine would happen if I wasn’t a card-carrying member of the hoi polloi myself. I certainly experienced a tiny irrational sense of betrayal when Team Fortress 2 went F2P a few days ago, and Valve didn’t even charge
Respawn’s New Game Revealed, But Not Really
