News: Burger King announces first Jucy-Lucy ripoff stuffed burger

It's got small bits of cheese in the patty. Not TRULY stuffed like one would think. No full inside of cheese, just bits here and there. We'll see how that does.

News: Twitter challenges gag order on behalf of users!

We should all be so lucky.

Twitter feels that users should be informed of any legal request made of the company. So, instead of just handing over the information requested (like many companies this year), Twitter got it's spine up and ready and challenged the gag order attached. That way, it could notify the users about which the information was requested so that they (the users) could effectively challenge the request in court. I really like this. And to see it in a company restores at least some faith in freedom and justice in the U.S.

I guess I don't know the exact definition of computer fraud, so he might be hosed. But on the other hand, if you put out a program that sucks (and, in fact, use it's failures as a shield against paying up), then you can't say that it's WRONG that he found a bug in your software and used it.

Blame and sue the companies who made it, fine. But you put it out there for use.
