POPSFacebook asked to pull Scrabulous game Hrm, this just seems like a stupid way to go about it. Yes, it is a gross infringement of thier rights, however, it is one of the most popular games/apps on Facebook. I know lots of people who play it. My girlfriend decided to add scrabble to her xmas wishlist after playing it on facebook and being reminded of haw good a game it is. She got the deluxe version of the game under the tree :) As I see it, the idiots are missing out. They could make a deal witht he writers gaining the majority (if not all/nearly all) of any profits made from teh game, and use it to link to thier product, re brand it as official and make MONEY through internet sales of the real thing. Morons. Everybody is shoot first, shoot again.. shoot a little more & when everyone is dead, ask a question or two.. Reminds me of the Alberta Preimier - Domain name issue...

POPSWoman wins lawsuit against drug dealer Seems to me a bit like suing McD's because your fat. Here's an idea .. You know.. teh drug is illigal for a reason. So instead of blaming your dealer, ans suing him because you were too fucking stupid to no do Meth, how about taking some responsibility... Now, don't get me wrong, the dealer deserves to be punished because, well, he's a drug dealer. But not this way. Its just too stupid. This is the kindof flagerant lawsuite you expect to see in the US, not Canada...

POPSPron company tries to datamine facebook, gets sued Datamining sites like this is nothing new. The new thig is basically that many people (me included) put much of thier life ont ehse sites. We assume the provider is doing everything it can to protect our privacy (in Facebook's case, this seems to be a problem that keeps rearing its ugly head). The info I have on Facebook I'm not worried about. I'm not really paranoid. I'm sure with teh right datamining & analysis tools once could beuild a rather impressive psych profile of me. So what? If I was in the states or Britian, I might be more worried.

POPS'Grand Theft Auto' makers blamed for triple killing Give me a #%&ing break! Stop blaming video games because you neglect your kids!!!!! Video games don't breed homicidal maniacs, bad parent, bad schooling, bad society does! (With a healthy (or unhealthy) smattering of mental disorder...) These pricks are likely just wanting to blame someone for their own miserable failures, and are seeing big price tags at rockstar & co. It's pathetic.
