gold

The Register have a great article up about the sort of toys billionaires could (and should, dammit!) be buying.

Covering the usual dull stuff light yachts and planes, they then move on to the really cool stuff - submarines and space craft.

Recent WoW patches from Blizzard have addressed some of the spamming issues presented by gold farmers, eager to foist their wares.

In a bizarre sort of spam arms race, the gold farmers have fought back - they're using client-side hacks to summon dead gnomes to fall from the sky.

They're then arranging the bodies to form adverts for their gold selling websites. Check out the screen shot from outside the Ironforge bank.
