A BLOKE in Blighty ended his six year marriage by changing his status to single on the social notworking site Facebook.

Neil Brady forgot to mention the matter to his wife, Emma, and she only heard about it when one of their mutual friends asked how she was.

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.
