    When the new 5.0 patch flips over on Aug. 28, will you be ready with glyphs? Blizzard is recycling old glyphs instead of making new spell IDs and charring old ones. Some glyphs are staying the same, some are new, but some share IDs with old Cataclysm glyphs. Below is our list of new or changing glyphs for paladins. This is not a list of changing tooltips, just which glyphs you ought to have if you want to automatically have the new glyphs when the patch flips over. Paladins have a handful of new glyphs. The rest of the paladin switcheroos are either renamed glyphs or entirely new glyphs. Totally new paladin glyphs: Glyph of the Battle Healer Glyph of Bladed Judgment Glyph of the Falling Avenger Glyph of Focused Wrath Glyph of Mass Exorcism Glyph of Righteous Retreat Glyphs that are changing into new majors: Shield of the Righteous becomes the Alabaster Shield Crusader Strike becomes Avenging Wrath Seal of Insight becomes Blessed Life Exorcism becomes Blinding Light Holy Wrath becomes Denounce Templar's Verdict becomes Divine Storm Judgement becomes Double Jeopardy Cleansing becomes Final Wrath Lay on Hands becomes Flash of Light the Ascetic Crusader becomes Harsh Words Hammer of Justice becomes Holy Wrath Divine Favor becomes Illumination Seal of Truth becomes Immediate Truth Salvation becomes Inquisition the Long Word becomes Protector of the Innocent Hammer of Wrath becomes Templar's Verdict Glyphs that are changing into new minors: Blessing of Kings becomes Contemplation Justice becomes Fire From the Heavens Righteousness becomes the Luminous Charger Blessing of Might becomes the Mounted King Truth becomes Seal of Blood Insight becomes Winged Vengeance It's open warfare between Alliance and Horde in Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft's next expansion. Jump into five new levels with new talents and class mechanics, try the new monk class, and create a pandaren character to ally with either Horde or Alliance. Look for expansion basics in our Mists FAQ, or dig into our spring press event coverage for more details!

    Editor's Note: One of the advantages of having an attorney on the TUAW team is the opportunity for this sort of deep-dive legal analysis. We asked Lauren to dig into the circumstances and statutes around the case of the mystery iPhone, and she obliged. While Lauren is a real lawyer, she's not your lawyer, nor is she licensed in California, so please do not make decisions about what to do with found property in bars without consulting your own legal counsel. Ever since Gizmodo put up those pictures and claimed to have Apple's next iPhone in hand, questions have been swirling about what the repercussions, if any, might be from a legal perspective. While the iPhone's peddler probably ought to be finding himself a lawyer, the more interesting question is this: is Gizmodo courthouse-bound? This question has gotten increasingly more interesting in light of the fact that as of today, CNET reports that Silicon Valley police are looking into the matter. Let's break it down, with a lengthy look at just who might be wronged and how. Find the nearest leather chair, a bookcase of legal tomes, sew on your elbow patches, and get ready to look contemplative. There are two entities to which Giz could be forced to answer: they are Apple, and the State of California, representing both civil and criminal liability respectively.
