I love pinning. Not just to pin the games I'm currently playing, but rather for games that I want to remind myself I want in the future. I also was able to pin websites like destinypublicevents.com for quick access while farming dailies. Snap is under-utilized, however there is a lot of good stuff to be done with

Witty. I can post meaningless pictures too!

Maybe my sarcasm detector is off then, because it came across completely different to me. Might have been nice if they at least included a "Don't try this at home, it's immoral and possible illegal." statement in there.

Wrath was pretty bad. Lots of login queues. Server lag when you did get in. Problems lasted at least a week I believe. (That's where the name for the daily article "The Queue" over at Wow Insider came from.) So many people were logging in at once that mobs were spawning continuously which is how most of the realm

Sounds like the launch went as well as Wrath's did. They did a much better job in Cat and Pandaria. This was the first new expansion since I quit the game so I certainly don't miss the frustrations you and other must have had sitting in queues. I can only hope it's largely due to the game becoming more popular like

Wasn't most of the issues caused by DDOS attacks? If so, then really Blizzard doesn't have to do anything, so it's a nice gesture. The real question on everyone's mind, is the Reddedit site back up yet?

Fraud is a deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain. But sure, I'm the idiot. Thanks for being the stereotypical forum jerk. Every thread has to have one. And by the way, I've never claimed to be an expert on anything, so way to go there boss. Keep proving your ignorance.

Fascinating stuff. Thanks very much for the well written, educated response. It's a very interesting perspective. Always interesting to see the inner workings of the law. Question, since it seems you really know your stuff here and I love to learn. How does this differ from a con artist pretending to be someone

You are right. It's not theft. It's fraud. Theft implies you take something without permission. Fraud implies that you are presenting a falsehood to gain something improperly. Walmart's policy is only open to valid advertisements. Not advertisements you created in Photoshop.

Except you do. Stealing is still stealing, whether it's from a large corporation or from a mom and pop store, or your next door neighbor. It doesn't make it anymore right. It's the same type of mentality that makes people think it's OK to illegally download movies or pirate video games. Yes there are some terrible

There's nothing like some good ol' fashioned corporation scamming on the holidays.

So, theft is OK, but murder is wrong? Where do we draw the line? What crimes is it acceptable to commit? I am no way advocating for the company of Walmart, they are a horrible company, and I refuse to shop there. But just because I don't like my neighbor doesn't mean I'm going to stand by and watch as someone

There's nothing like some good ol' fashioned corporation scamming on the holidays. And as we inch closer to Black Friday, some particularly ambitious shoppers have convinced the mega-chain Walmart to sell them PlayStation 4s for as cheap as $50 thanks to a simple new price-matching scam.

I agree that the Sears glitch is more of a grey area, intent is what really matters there, and as we all know, intent is hard to prove. The key word in the description of fraud is deliberate. If you know the Sears ad to be a glitch or a phony, then you are still committing fraud.

And Walmart should fix this loophole, however it does not excuse the poor behavior in the people committing these crimes. Just because I can break into your house at night, and rob you blind, and get away with it, doesn't place the blame on you for not properly video recording your premises. Even if you left the

"Fraud is a deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain (adjectival form fraudulent; to defraud is the verb)." Seems pretty cut and dry to me. Granted, most law enforcement wouldn't take the time or resources to actually prosecute, but if one person did this enough times, it seems

I hope that Walmart and their corporate partners see this article where a Kotaku writer actively encourages people to commit fraud against their stores and have a word with your marketing and advertising department.

I'm more disappointed that Kotaku would actively encourage people to commit fraud. I expect there to be people with lower morals in the world sad as it is.

Criminals. These people are criminals.

It's not technically-okay. It's fraud. The act of drafting up a fake website and presenting it as real in order to receive a lower price on goods is fraud and theft. Plain and simple.
