SPACE TOURIST Anousheh Ansari is running her business from the orbiting space station, according to agency reports.

Telco millionaire Ansari is apparently checking her email regularly and is getting reports from her work while she is on the International Space Station.

She said it was wonderful to have all that technology up there and it was just like she never left the planet.

Ansari paid $20 million for her ticket on the Soyuz spacecraft. It must have been the first flight she has taken where she did not have an in flight movie or a complimentary bottle of champers.

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
