The judge requested twice for data relevant to a criminal case and WhatsApp (Facebook) ignored it. Apparently it is related to a group of bank robbers.

I must say I am surprised to read this. I use free spotify daily here in Sweden and I have not seen any of that except for a 20 (yes, twenty) hours limit for the OPEN version of Spotify.
The version I use is the FREE one, which requires an invitation and has no such limits, at least not yet.

Submission + - Hotz to Turn Over Computers to Neutral Third Party (groklaw.net)
intellitech writes: This will make a lot of you feel better. Groklaw is reporting that both parties have come up with a stipulation in Sony Computer Entertainment American v. Hotz regarding what Hotz must do about handing over his computers. The new Preliminary Injunction (PDF) now says that he is to turn his materials over to a "neutral" third party, not to SCEA's lawyers, and after the neutral party combs through them, it all is returned to Hotz. All but whatever they "segregate" out of them. He won't get that back until the end of the litigation, should he prevail, which this court at least currently thinks is less likely than that Sony will. There will be a hearing on Hotz's motion to dismiss on April 8, 2011.

And by progressive you just mean they let most of them live. Christians in Egypt are in a pretty bad situation with Muslims shooting them when they are leaving church and stuff like that. Also, trying to convince someone to convert is a crime (death penalty if I am not mistaken), unless you are converting them to Islam.
Tofu Activists Spoof Meat-Based Indie Game 420
Faulkner39 writes "In response to the recently released independently developed platformer Super Meat Boy, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has released a Flash-based spoof game titled Super Tofu Boy. The spoof attempts to mirror the original by featuring a protagonist made of tofu and an antagonist made of meat in a statement promoting animal rights. Ironically, however, the original game is about a human boy who is vulnerable because he lacks skin (Meat Boy), raising the question: 'is the spoof in reality really about cannibalism?'"
The Super Meat Boy team posted a response on their Twitter feed.

Submission + - A 3D Lego Fabricator Made of Lego (wired.com)
eldavojohn writes: Making a Lego printer is pretty cool if you've never seen The LegoMakerBot. The creator has instructions on his site on how to make (out of Lego bricks) a machine that 'prints' Lego models — much like a 3D fabrication machine — after you model them in MLCad. The sped up video is nothing short of impressive.
