From the "you're just now realizing this?" department:

Of course, it's easy to blame the tool instead of the people behind the problem. Blizzard's sole reason for existence is to provide the game that nets them the most money, and in World of Warcraft, they've done just that. It's not their responsibility to make sure you graduate college. The article isn't claiming this, but I can see people making that incorrect connection.
Off topic: just had my new 19" HD television and PS3 player delivered to my desk! We're getting into Blu-ray production, and who better to have this that the tech guy? It'll be nice to play with the system before I pick one up after Christmas...
