Wait a sec. Do you mean to suggest that all this uproar may just be a bunch of FUD-based hooey?

To further the pursuit of accuracy, I would say it is treating a gangrenous leg by hiring a polka band.
To be most correct, it would need to be a gang of green pirates aiding a polka band.

Not quite knowing of that which you write, is where *you* fail.
In fact, one can set one's profile to not allow sharing with any app being used by any one.
Blind hatred of Facebook is no less ignorant than blindly sharing one's personal data without care.

Hank Chien Reclaims Donkey Kong High Score 122
An anonymous reader writes "If you can say anything about Hank Chien, it's that he evidently doesn't take defeat very well. Sure, he knew not so deep down that his Donkey Kong World Record score wouldn't last forever, but he couldn't have foreseen that it would have been toppled so quickly. Twice, even. But he also knew that more Kong competition would be coming his way; namely Richie Knucklez Kong-Off in March. So Hank had something to prove, and prove he did. Scoring a massive 1,068,000 points in less than three hours, Hank has officially reclaimed the high score in Nintendo’s 1981 arcade classic."

Yes, yes, but he pled to something that is apparently not a crime. That's the crux of the argument. His plea should be invalidated along with the plea agreement. Then, he should be prosecuted for his actual crimes.

Very well. Punish for the actual crimes he committed, not for the non-crime.
