    Remember a little while ago on Ask a Beta Tester, someone asked if Jaina Proudmoore has any role in Wrath? And I said no, she has no new story involvement? Well, a recent beta patch made a fool out of me. She has a role, it's epic, and no she doesn't make out with Arthas you horrible, horrible people.And with that out of the way, let's get on with the questions. Shadgalaul asked...What about the whole dual-spec situation? Was this implemented, or did it just fade out and get scrapped? This hasn't been implemented yet, and nobody is sure whether it's on hold or been scrapped. It seems like instead of giving dual specs, they're trying to make one spec be able to hold its own. For example, tanks are getting higher DPS so they can go off and do their quests without wanting to hang themselves. It's not a perfect solution and there are still a few balance issues, but I bet that if they shelved the dual spec thing, this is what they tried instead.We may still see dual specs in the future, but we haven't so far.

    So how do you know if Apple has made a big policy change and snuck it through the back door? Is it because: Porcine aviation establishes itself as a viable transportation mechanism. Chicken entrails begin to dance and rearrange themselves into oracular shapes while you're fixing up some nice korma. Apple sneaks in a new technical support page adding a "Share > Send Ringtone to iTunes" option to Garage Band. The answer is, if you've been playing along at home, three. One more blow against the official iTunes extortion and shakedown store. Thanks Jerrod
