"All political controversy aside, bearing the Olympic torch during its long route
to the Games is an incredible honor, and this year two
professional gamers will take part in the international relay. Through a
sponsorship deal with peripheral manufacturer Razer, XiaoFeng "Sky" Li and Jae
ho "Moon" Jang will both bear the torch as it passes through China en route to
the Beijing National Stadium.

Both Sky and Moon are professional
Warcraft III players, with the former being recognized as the world's
best Human-class player, and the latter as the one of the world's best Night
Elf-class players. Both were chosen by Razer from a group of ten professional
gamers, selected by the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games. Congrats go
out to both."

According to the BBC "The makers of World of Warcraft are locked in a legal battle with a firm that has produced a tool to automate many actions in the virtual world....Blizzard has said the tool infringes copyright because it copies the game into RAM in order to avoid detection by anti-cheat software."

Not quite starcraft related, but I know a lot of us are Blizzard fans. So I saw this and couldn't resist:

Gosu.com is off! We launched publically today with our awesome new layout, thanks to Chris Schultz for the design and Matt Wilson
for the programming. It has been a long time in the works and many
hours spent but we're finally ready to release the new Gosu.com to the
world. While Starcraft 2 is still many months (hopefully not years...)
away we are still excited about it and there are many other great
blizzard games to keep us occupied such as the original Starcraft and
of course Warcraft 3/Frozen Throne. But let's get to the new features!

• New Design!
• Videos - upload videos (100MB cap currently)
• Forums - Two actually, but the main forum has been integrated and improved.
• Groups
  - Make public and private groups for your clan/guild, map team, video
  team, common interest, etc. Each group has its own forum, blog, polls,
  members, and pages.
• Private Messages - Send messages to other users instantly!
• Player Blogs - keep your own blog on Gosu.com.
• Wiki - The unofficial Starcraft 2 Wiki
• Directory - Directory of all SC2 stuff
• Galleries
• Live Chatrooms
• And more!
• PS - $$$ Revenue Sharing $$$ - Update your profile with your google adsense code and make money!

That is it for now, downloads are currently being worked on, replays
and maps will be implemented as Starcraft 2 gets closer to launch and
we have something to put there! If you're interested in becoming part
of the staff here at Gosu.com feel free to contact me.
