Killjoy
Hasbro and Mattel, co-owners of the copyright to the original Scrabble game, are asking Facebook to remove the ridiculously popular Scrabulous app. See, this is why people hate lawyers. Everyone's minding their own business and having a little fun when--BAM!--Mr. Corporate McLackey, Esq. decides that he needs to do his part to make the world just a little drearier. Well, they can take away our Scrabulous, but they can never take away our FREEDOM!
I promise that's the one and only Braveheart riff you'll ever see on this blog.

My kids won't let me on facebook, saying 'it's mostly young people'. Thanks, kids.
Anyway, I want to see it turned into a gadget for vista.

Isn't that blaming the messenger? It's the client that drives the lawsuit-- if I could get work by just making up stuff my life would be a lot easier
