Haktech: Blizzard still working on fixing Diablo III launch issues

If you have bought Diablo III and have experienced lots of downtime since the game's Battle.net servers were turned on less than 24 hours ago, you are most definitely not alone. The players of the action-RPG sequel from Blizzard have experiences lots of downtime from Blizzard's Battle.net servers as the development team tries to fix a number of issues that have cropped up since the launch earlier this morning.

The Battle.net forums tell the main tale. Blizzard has been performing "emergency maintenance" on the Battle.net servers in the Americas for a large fraction of the day. There's already been a few hours of downtime for the servers as Blizzard tries to fix "several issues that are impacting the game".

One big bug that has affected a few people is "Error 3006". As described on the official Diablo III forums, this happens when you give the Templar NPC, found in the Cathedral part of the game, a shield. In short, don't do it. Players have found that when this action happens, they are booted from the game and cannot sign back in.

Hopefully, Blizzard will fix this problems quickly. We will also point out that a lot of these issues may not have happened if Blizzard had not insisted on making people sign onto Battle.net to play Diablo III, even when playing the game in single player mode.

Haktech: General Motors to pull $10 million Facebook ad account

Facebook claims it now has over 900 million users worldwide, but all those people don't apparently add up to a huge audience for online ads, at least for one company. The Wall Street Journal reports that car company General Motors has decided it will pull its paid Facebook ad campaign, said to be worth $10 million, off the site after determining that the ads didn't have much of an impact for consumers.

Admittedly, that amount of money is a drop in the bucket compared to Facebook's total yearly revenue of over $3 billion. However, the fact that a major company doesn't believe that paying for ads to reach Facebook's massive user base is worth it could be a sign of things to come for the social networking site, especially as it plans to launch its IPO later this week.

GM will still pay lots of money to use Facebook. The story says the company will pay about $30 million to maintain and add content to GM's Facebook pages, which Facebook doesn't directly charge to use.

In a new survey about Facebook released today, 83 percent of the people who were polled claim to have never or hardly ever clicked on a Facebook ad.

Haktech: Yahoo CEO to reportedly resign thanks to incorrect resume [Update]

Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson will reportedly resign his position with the company, just a few months after the former President of PayPal was named to the top spot of Yahoo. Internet reports that officially, Yahoo will say Thompson is leaving for "personal reasons."

In reality, Thompson will depart thanks mostly to the reveal earlier this month that he did not have a computer science degree from Stonehill College, as his official bio at both Yahoo and previously at PayPal claimed. Thompson's false computer science degree was also listed as part of Yahoo's regulatory filings.

Thompson was named as CEO of Yahoo in January. In April, Thompson was still leading the company when it announced plans to lay off 2,000 workers. However, his leadership was called into question by Dan Loeb of Third Point, Yahoo’s largest outside stock holder.

It was Loeb who first revealed that Thompson did not have a computer science degree. Yahoo's board of directors called it an "inadvertent error" in Thompson's bio but Loeb kept up the pressure, later demanding that Yahoo's board turn over all documents relating to Thompson's vetting process.

It is expected that Yahoo’s head of global media Ross Levinsohn will take over leading the entire company on an interim basis.

Update - Yahoo has now made Thompson's resignation official, saying simply he has "left the Company." Ross Levinsohn has also been confirmed as interim CEO and Yahoo has also named Fred Amoroso as its new Chairman of its board.

Yahoo has also announced a settlement with Third Point which will have Loeb and two more Third Point team members named to Yahoo's board.
