WILMINGTON, DE, December 18, 2010 (Press-News.org) Blizzard has just released the latest expansion, "World of Warcraft: Cataclysm". According to news reports, Cataclysm has been officially declared as the best-selling PC game in the history. This is Blizzard's fascination. It has conquered world players time and time again. According to Blizzard's latest statistics, it is revealed that in the first 24 hours [of its release] "World of Warcraft: Cataclysm" has created an astonishing 330 million record sales, which hits a new record for PC platform.
If you're curious about how "World of Warcraft: Cataclysm" created such a surprising record on its first day, we can do a calculation. The single copy price of a WoW Cataclysm CD key is 40 dollars; 330 million copies sold on the first day means that "World of Warcraft: Cataclysm" is creating 132 million U.S. dollars in sales revenue. Do not be surprised; this is just the lowest income.
As a comparison, World of Warcraft's last expansion pack: "World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King" had starting sales of 280 million copies, also incredible sales. Compared to "Call of Duty 7: Black Ops", it reached 3.6 billion dollars in revenue on its first day. This number is nearly 3 times of "World of Warcraft: Cataclysm". But this is mainly based on the game console platform, rather than the PC platform.

Focus on Preventing Medical Errors, Not Frivolous Tort Reform
2010-12-18
The number of people who die every year in the United States from avoidable medical errors is staggering and deeply tragic. Data from the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences puts the figure at nearly 98,000 a year. And as large as that number is, the true figure may even be higher. A national investigation conducted by Hearst Newspapers concluded that as many as 200,000 fatalities are caused by medical errors each year.
The number of injuries is equally mind-boggling. Some estimates place it at over one million a year. But less than 1 in 10 of these ...

2010-12-18
With the same zeal with which he has sought to ban texting while driving, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is now pushing for a broader prohibition on the use of all electronic devices in motor vehicles.
