"The Taj Mahal was completed in 1653 by emperor Shah Jahan. That was three hundred and fifty six years ago. Now in a move that would make US corporations proud, the Indian Embassy in Bangladesh is attempting to impose Copyright Restrictions on the famous monument to love after Bangladeshi director Ahsanullah Moni unveiled a US$58 Million replica so that Bangladeshi's who can't afford to travel there can visit the famous monument. I know the egyptians were a little touchy about the pyramids, but isn't it time that people stopped confusing copyright with government sponsored greed? Otherwise I think I might have to copyright my Genes so that my ancestors have a right to posess them."

"The Chaser's War On Everything, possibly best known previously for their booking flights under the names Terry Wrist and Al Kyder have been arrested at the APEC Summit for what could be one of the most audacious stunts yet performed by the team. Their latest work involved them driving a fake motorcade through the restricted APEC Summit zone, with Chaser "Chas Licciardello" emerged from the vehicle dressed as Osama Bin Laden, embarassing security forces that were guarding world leaders, including Chinese President Hu Jintao and US President George W Bush. I guess our current world leaders haven't learned from lessons of the past. "

"Bioshock users seem to have overloaded 2KGames servers , with users angry and blaming the problem on everything from a lack of 2KGames foresight to DRM. What looks like a several months old patch is available on the Web Archive but installing it means setting up a webserver to resemble the 2KGames website. Whatever the reason, the servers aren't running, people can't install the game without it and users are getting a bad taste in their mouths at the moment."
