Submission + - College student accused of stealing PS3s killed
An anonymous reader writes: FoxNews.com has an article about another shooting related to the PS3. It seems that a teenager accused of stealing two PS3s was shot and killed by police officers after they supposedly mistook the controller in his hand for a gun.
From the article:
"Peyton Strickland, 18, was killed Friday at a house he shared with three roommates, New Hanover County Sheriff Sid Causey said.
"If this boy would've come to the door, opened the door, we probably wouldn't be talking," the sheriff said Sunday.
Roommate Mike Rhoton said Strickland was unarmed, but may have been holding a video game controller when he went to the door as it was bashed in by officers."

Submission + - The Vanishing Click-Fraud Case
Billosaur writes: "BusinessWeek has an interesting article on what they term The Mystery of the Vanishing Click-Fraud Case. Apparently, back in 2004, a man by the name of Michael Anthony Bradley arrived at Google's HQ for a meeting with Google engineers, to show them software he had designed to generate false clicks on Google ads. According to the indictment brought against him by the U.S. District Court in San Jose, "Bradley claimed his program could force Google to pay millions of dollars on false clicks and threatened to release it to others unless Google paid him approximately $150,000." Flash forward to Nov 22nd, 2006, and the charges against Bradley are dropped. Why? According to the article, it may have had to do with Google being unwilling to cooperate with prosecutors, which would have meant exposing how they go about dealing with click fraud."
