Curious.

I doubt it's related to bandwidth, as people are speculating - my guess is that they have some truly massive BW allowances in whatever multi-million dollar deal they have with their host.

?? No? The first article is just about wow based apps that are/were being distributed via the iTunes app store (armory search, gear search etc). The second article is about the blizzard authenticator being available on iPhone.

My account is now setup for this so I can freely click on dodgy sites knowing that they need my code to get into my accounts page, muhahahaha.

Yes, there is an article about being able to (maybe) play wow on the iphone, using the same software that allowed EYVs to play Second Life on the iPhone (because pretending to be waiting on a train in a fake world is so much cooler while you're actually waiting on a train with your iPhone)

Fucking iPhones, why are they so damned expensive. I'm thinking of simply superglueing my Ipod to my phone as a cheaper option.

While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
