Woman Drugs Boss's Coffee So He'll 'Chill' 6

Posted by samzenpus from the curl-up-with-the-cats dept.
A 24-year-old woman admitted to police that she slipped some tranquilizers into her boss's coffee because she felt "he needed to chill out." Veteranarian John Duckett knew something was wrong shortly after drinking some of the coffee. Officers said the woman cleaned the cages at the the Reynolds Road Animal Clinic. I hope she at least had the sense to slip it in a cup of decaf.

Senators Call For Hearing On Carrier Content Blocking 152

Posted by kdawson from the net-neutrality-by-any-other-name dept.
HangingChad writes "Two Senators on Friday called for a congressional hearing to investigate reports that phone and cable companies are unfairly stifling communications over the Internet and on cell phones. Now that the Senate is getting into the act, Comcast will probably want to come up with some new talking points as their old ones were leaked."

Comment Free M2M not Limited to iPhone (Score 1) 1

by pjsab0 (#20682033) Attached to: UK iPhone plan doesn't add up
AT&T has been offering free mobile to mobile calling for several years now; it's not an exclusive iPhone deal. That being said, it doesn't look like O2 currently offers free mobile to mobile on any plans, at least not one that I could find on http://shop.o2.co.uk/tariffs/18_months/Texter. I doubt even Apple could convince a cellular provider to add that sort of feature if it did not exist already.

Submission + - Tanya Andersen Brings Class Action Against RIAA

Submitted by
NewYorkCountryLawyer
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes: "Ever since the RIAA's litigation campaign began in 2003, many people have been suggesting a class action against the RIAA. Tanya Andersen, in Oregon, has taken them up on it. The RIAA's case against this disabled single mother, Atlantic v. Andersen, has received attention in the past, for her counterclaims against the RIAA including claims under Oregon's RICO statute, the RIAA's hounding of her young daughter for a face to face deposition, the RIAA's eventual dropping of the case "with prejudice", and her lawsuit against the RIAA for malicious prosecution, captioned Andersen v. Atlantic. Now she's turned that lawsuit into a class action. The amended complaint seeking class action status (pdf) sues for negligence, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, federal and state RICO, abuse of process, malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, trespass, invasion of privacy, libel and slander, deceptive business practices, misuse of copyright law, and civil conspiracy."
