Hey, Linden Lab. Please, can we get (say) three blog posts in a row without egregious typographical errors?

    I’d pretty much call this a failure of contextual advertising placement. Have you heard of Qarl Linden? Someone who comes close to having super-powers. I’ve been on the sidelines of what any number of journalists have called ‘antennagate’. Leaving aside the juvenile reporting aspect of it all, Apple did about the worst thing it could do under the circumstances (other than filing lawsuits against its customers, perhaps). Our local Safeway store recently put these signs up at every register. Senator Stephen Conroy, speaking at the launch of National Cyber Security Awareness Day, made a truly woeful slip.  I must hasten to remind you that Conroy is the Australian Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy. Why? Because his fumbling prose about the Web is essentially the equivalent of calling a modern military assault rifle “a thunderstick”. Everybody makes mistakes. You do. I do. We all do. Mistakes are an inevitable part of living and learning. We make mistakes all the time, we learn from them and we move on. There are, however, two broad categories of mistake. There’s the honest mistake, and there’s the institutional error. Got your attention, have I? Okay, so not all of you are a major let-down. Some of you, I’ll grant, are not. Mistakes do happen – we all make them. Nobody’s at their best when they have to write an article about something that they know nothing about, surely. But for pity’s sake, make an effort! The fact is that if what you know about virtual worlds is based on what you read in the media, you probably know less than nothing about them. So, a little while ago I had my first experience with a Games For Windows Live game, that being Red Faction: Guerrilla which I’d gotten as a part of a bundle. About three hours into that process, I realized that Games For Windows Live (GFWL) is a blight on the face of PC gaming.
