|In the terms:
1. Entry: No purchase necessary. You must be eighteen (12) years of age or older to be eligible for this beta-test.
hmm.. eighteen (12) years?
And then it says :
7. Eligibility: This Beta-test is open to legal resident of the United States who are twelve (12) years or older at the time of entry.
I suppose it must mean 12 or older, but it's still kinda weird..

|I notice that in most of your articles, the companies you're writing about start out singular, then morph into plural in the very first sentence: "Napster shares their defense," "Philips is holding a test for their CD player," etc. The right way to do this: "Napster shares its defense," "Philips is holding a test of its CD player." (In Britain, you'd see "Napster share their defense," etc., where any corporate entity is plural to begin with.) Anyway, your articles might seem a tad more authoritative without all the freshman-English goofs. (Also ya might wanna check the spelling of "thoroughly.") One final nit-pick, and this is purely subjective: The mainstream way to do dates is without the "th": "July 5," not "July 5th."

|Are you like ****ing hell bent on insulting BetaNews? They do a great job to bring you news of this test, and that's all that matters. These guys are computer users, not writers. Plus they don't have 5,000,000 editors checking their work because they do this for fun, not for profit. If you think eFront is selling out, then you don't know s*** about them.
I'll bet you're going to b**** at me because I said "they do a great job" instead of "they did a great job," aren't you. Well guess what, I'm not fixing it! So you can't do s*** about it!
Go to hell.
