Teachers Demand YouTube Closure; PPC Demands PS3 Destruction

Calls for YouTube Closure by Teachers

Teachers have called for websites like YouTube to close because of teacher and pupil bullying according to BBC News. A motion claims videos of pupils and teachers being attacked have been posted on YouTube. "Nobody should be subjected to such humiliation anywhere, let alone in their place of work."

This shows how little privacy can there be in the world, when most have a cell phone capable of taking photos and video. I don't see a change in this development any time soon, unless there are some serious legal changes. And they would have to apply in most of the world for them to affect anything. Maybe this is just something we have to get used to.

Parallel Processing Corporation Files Suit Against Sony

PPC claims Sony has breached their parallel processing patent 5,056,000 "Synchronized parallel processing with shared memory". They seek damages and attorney fees with interests, and call for "the impounding and destruction" of Play Station 3 products.

I doubt the suit will hold, but at least they get some publicity...
