INSPECTOR KNACKER OF THE MAINE YARD claims that the social notworking site, Facebook has helped him finger the collar of a few local crims.

Only three weeks after setting up a page on Facebook, Maine coppers have solved a vandalism case which had been a bit of a puzzle.

The coppers posted CCTV footage of three teens causing about $1,000 damage to a local hotel and received several anonymous tip offs. Three little toe rags have since been charged. 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?
