Important Information about Google Buzz Class Action Settlement

Google rarely contacts Gmail users via email, but we are making an
exception to let you know that we've reached a settlement in a lawsuit
regarding Google Buzz (http://buzz.google.com), a service we launched
within Gmail in February of this year.

Shortly after its launch, we heard from a number of people who were
concerned about privacy. In addition, we were sued by a group of Buzz users
and recently reached a settlement in this case.

The settlement acknowledges that we quickly changed the service to address
users' concerns. In addition, Google has committed $8.5 million to an
independent fund, most of which will support organizations promoting
privacy education and policy on the web. We will also do more to educate
people about privacy controls specific to Buzz. The more people know about
privacy online, the better their online experience will be.

Just to be clear, this is not a settlement in which people who use Gmail
can file to receive compensation. Everyone in the U.S. who uses Gmail is
included in the settlement, unless you personally decide to opt out before
December 6, 2010. The Court will consider final approval of the agreement
on January 31, 2011. This email is a summary of the settlement, and more
detailed information and instructions approved by the court, including
instructions about how to opt out, object, or comment, are available at
http://www.BuzzClassAction.com.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
This mandatory announcement was sent to all Gmail users in the United
States as part of a legal settlement and was authorized by the United
States District Court for the Northern District of California.

More Leaked FFXIV Info

We have some new translated information.  Something to think about!


Illusionist

Illusionist is a discipline of magic that controls strong, elemental sorcery through a power called “illusion.” By examining their surroundings, they can see the flow of elements around them. Made from all-natural wood and materials, they use their “staff of illusions” (?) to change the elements around them into powerful magic. Their headquarters is in the Cave of the Tree of Meditation in Gridania.

Tools of the trade: Illusionist wands and staves

Illusionists use wands and other magic items to control the elements. Many of them are made from natural wood, but the “twig wand” is the best example of this. The “Radical root staff,” on the other hand, has a strange structure fixed to the end of it, which looks like it may have something to do with the use of “illusion.”

Controllers of the destructive magic of “Thaumaturgy.” Through the introspection of their true nature, they can call upon the power hidden deep in their heart.

These are the magical tools of the thaumaturge. They’re a bit darker than the illusionist’s…
