POPSOops... Destroyed the Wrong Evidence! I love this one! It made me laugh :) mostly because I think these dolls are menace to the minds of young, impressionable girls... but then again, I was a huge Barbie fan and "those" before me thought the same about her! ANYWAY, I clipped this because I loved the judges comment / question... destroying the very evidence that could have helped your case in court (when you were trying to hide your porn)... priceless!

POPSIs Scrabulous Worth $40 Million? Scrabulous is the main reason I log onto Facebook these days. But 30 or 40 million is crazy, particularly since Scrabulous' developers are so clearly infringing on Mattel's copyright.

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...

POPS Toxic Toys On The Web::MarkMonitor.com Reports MarkMonitor Reports Recalled Toys Continue to Be Sold Online and Gift Card Scams Threaten Identities These tracked toys--Dora the Explorer, Thomas the Tank Engine, Elmo and Barbie--were pulled from retail shelves in early August, the beginning of a wave of recalls that purged more than 12 million toys coated with toxic lead paint or featuring dangerous, swallow-able magnets. All were made in China Mark Monitor's analysts say they could determine from posted images or item descriptions that around 30% of those items listed on eBay were in fact the recalled versions, banned for toxic contamination or dangerous magnets. MarkMonitor also sifted through three business-to-business exchange sites--Alibaba.com and Made-in-China.com, and iOffer, which sell products to retailers. In this case, the firm's analysts found that around 8% of the listings--some of which offered hundreds of toys--offered one of the four tracked toys.
