ELECTRONICS manufacturer Sony has come up for a use of old DVDs by developing a fire-resistant plastic that can be used for PCs.

According to nikkei.net, it can recycle and crush DVDs, adding a fire retardant and a polymer to improve shock resistance.

Sony reckons that the fire-resistant plastic will be twice as strong as existing casings for PCs with better resistance to heat and fire. 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.
