A corporation is a legal person which, while being composed of natural persons, exists completely separately from them. This separation gives the corporation unique powers which other legal entities lack. The extent and scope of its status and capacity is determined by the law of the place of incorporation.
Investors and entrepreneurs often form joint stock companies and incorporate them to facilitate a business; as this form of business is now extremely prevalent, the term corporation is often used to refer specifically to such business corporations. Corporations may also be formed for political, religious or charitable purposes (not-for-profit corporations), or as government or quasi-governmental entities (public corporations).
Legal status
The law typically views a corporation as a fictional person, a legal person, or a moral person (as opposed to a natural person); United States law recognises this as corporate personhood. Under such a doctrine (obviously a legal fiction), a corporation enjoys many of the rights and obligations of individual persons, such as the ability to own property, sign binding contracts, pay taxes, have certain constitutional rights, and otherwise participate in society. (Note that corporations do not possess all the rights appertaining to individuals: in most jurisdictions, for example, a corporation cannot become a citizen and vote.)

MacWorld Reviews the EVE Online Mac Client Aelryn Thu, 03 Jan 2008 13:51:13 -0500 For Maccers, by Maccers.
MacWorld has written a review of the EVE Online Mac client for players to read.
Massively multiplayer online games—sometimes called MMOGs or MMOs—appear far too rarely on the Mac. Since 2004, World of Warcraft has pretty much dominated the MMOG scene. So it was exciting news early in 2007 when it was revealed that CCP Games was readying a Macintosh version of EVE Online, its MMOG set in outer space. The game was released in early November, and since then, may Mac players have joined the ranks.
Check it out and see if you agree with what they say, here at MacWorld.
