Erms should never be discussed.

True say

I believe 'rofl' has hit the nail on its proverbial cranium.. blizzard has realised that NV loves its high end while ATI concentrates more on low/mid end where the dough is. since most ( read : all ) blizzard games cater to a low HW audience this suits them perfect.

Hmmm..

Since when did blizzard need, or indeed use, "the latest graphics technology"?

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
