Monday in tech news: ‘World of Warcraft,’ Best Buy + Napster and more
I’m at the Austin Game Developers Conference where I’ll be posting a few blogs and possibly photos and videos, but it’s not too busy to ignore some of the tech news from over the weekend:
Everyone’s been wondering if the much-anticipated new expansion for “World of Warcraft” ( Currency: wow gold ) will be out before the holidays. It looks like it will: the release date is November 13.
Electronic Arts has bailed on its attempted acquisition of “Grand Theft Auto” and “BioShock” publisher Take Two. It was apparently taking too long to have an impact on this holiday’s bottom line, which seems like a short-sighted way of doing business, but, hey, that’s why I’m a journalist.
Best Buy is buying Napster. I found myself asking, “There’s still a Napster?”
Statesman’s Tracking Ike Twitter feed brought the news in a big way over the weekend and is still posting updates. We talk all the time at work about how the way we cover news is going to change and this is one way we think things are going.
Sarah Lacy posted a video of me on her site, turning the tables on the video I posted on Friday. Turnabout is fair play, but I can’t help but observe that I look like a cackling night goblin when filmed on the corner of 5th and Congress
