No bidding war, honest

RUMOURS that Digg is about to be sold have been dismissed by CEO Jay Adelson.

It seems fairly likely that Google, Microsoft, and two media companies are queing up to make an offer on the social notworking site Digg.

Adelson said that normally his policy was to not comment about things like this. However he is getting a bit miffed about yarns about a bidding war involving Google and Microsoft.

He said that all that is completely inaccurate and any drama is a fabrication by the press. So that is all right then. µ

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.
