From: Rebecca Proudhon "................ the companies plan to introduce a corporate offering before the end of this year, either as a product or as a service, presumably hosted by I.B.M." by "offering", they mean they plan to kill a sheep on an altar and smear its blood on M Linden's back in an intricate design with great religious significance. It's how the bring in all new CEO's. Offerings date back to thousands of years before Christ, so it's nothing new. They were going to toss a virgin into a volcano, but the market for virgins has gone to hell what with the virgin shortage and all, and the closest active volcano to San Francisco is Mt. St. Helens in Washington and they didn't have the budget for airfare or to get the required licenses to dump virgins in it from the Park Service. I think the [very important announcement] is that they are cancelling the three-legged race at the company picnic due to insurance concerns.

Can anyone point me towards the Nicholaz version of [very important announcement]? No doubt that'll be a more stable announcement anyway.

Thank goodness that's all been cleared up then.
Phew.
For what it's worth my shot in the dark is that they will open up the main grid so that if you have land or a portal on the main grid you can run your own regions on your own servers and tp in and out of the main grid. I suspect they will still control the currency of course but that means on your own server network you can create your own economies... something like that would be pretty fundamental. Why own an island sim when can have a continent and do whatever the hell you like and still get on the main grid ?

From: Snickers Snook I always thought Carl Metropolitan was such a cool name. /me wonders if Suzie Suburban is available?  Not as cool as it could be. I did not count on the inevitable "Carl Metrosexual" jokes.

If you will all take a ride with me in the way back machine, where we will visit our child selves seated at our desks in our fifth grade 1st period classrooms. Are we there yet? Good. Now, remember the morning announcements over the campus PA system as some of us writhed around in agony because we forgot to use the restroom before class, while others shot spit soaked wads of paper through a straw at those they either hated or had unexplainable feelings for? It's Friday morning, and there is an assembly in the gym just after lunch.
"and lastly, there will be a [very important announcement] at today's assembly."
That's the vibe I get. That's the vibe I usually get when Lindens blog.

Wow the [very important announcement] is great news to SL, especially the Gorean & Furry communities, having multiple [very important announcement] available will also reduce the necessity of war in Jesse and Bear, as well as provide valuble training for the followers of [very important announcement] who have been awaitng the [very important announcement] from Phillip since the dawn of SL. [very important announcement] will make great impact on the sex industry too finally allowing [very important announcement] to be used between consenting [very important announcement] and Ponygirls. Heck it's even going to help vehicles when they [very important announcement]. Can't wait to see the first [very important announcement] animations

I'm not sure about the salad dressing that will suit well with my [very important annoucement]
Any idea ?

From: Carl Metropolitan I can't believe LL just announced that [very important announcement]. Are they insane? It should be obvious to anyone with the IQ of a crack-addicted squirrel that [very important announcement] will lead to ruin of Second Life! Why doesn't LL stop mucking about with nonsense like [very important announcement] and fix the system. SL still just doesn't work a good 20% of the time. How do they expect to become the "3-D Internet of the future" if they can't even make the asset server stay up. I'm really dissapointed in the new CEO, M. Linden, too. [very important announcement] is a clear sign that nothing has really changed at Linden Lab. I find it pretty ironic this sarcastic thread was started a day before the Land Auction price thread. From: Elanthius Flagstaff Is this the beginning of the end? A sim just went for $752, minimum bid is $750.
