Yet again, Facebook faces another takedown in its add on online game Scrabulous. The social network has recently disabled access to the game. Scrabulous is in hot water with Mattel because the game closely resembles the classic game Scrabble which is published and ditributed by Mattel in all the countries aside from the US and Canada. The online access was first disabled in the United States and Canada. It is to note that, the rights for the classic board game Scrabble are owned by two big companies. Hasbro and Mattel. Hasbro handles North America and Mattel, elsewhere in the entire globe. It was Mattel’s complaint that forced Facebook to disable Scrabulous’ access in the network. Expectedly, Mattel has lodged a complaint and filed a lawsuit against Scrabulous creators in India. This is where the online game is based. They are charging the two brothers Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla with copyright and trademark infringement. Up until the court’s decision is handed down, the access of the game in India has remained.

Crimes related in the Internet are increasing, and we see crimes today that we have never seen before. Because this is relatively new we don’t have many solutions.

The most popular high tech crime usually happens over the internet. The internet has opened up many different opportunities for hackers and scam artists and has caused new problems for law enforcement and professional investigations. It is astounding that the size and the number of targets that can be found on the Internet. A thief can attack easily, quickly and at a low cost, and he can affect thousands of people at once. Victims may never know what hit them, who it was, or even know how to defend themselves against these attackers.

The most common type of computer related crimes involve credit card fraud. Most internet transactions are completed with credit cards and because the information goes over the internet, it becomes very easy for a criminal to get access to your credit card numbers. There are two ways criminals get access to your credit card, they steal it over the internet, or they use credit card number generating software.

Today, the computers are not the only means of accessing the web. We know have cellular phones that allow us to surf wherever we are through GPRS. If you are not the Internet addict type, you would ask, “Why would I need Internet Access most of the time?”

Well for some, it’s more than surfing. Some use emails and even some sites to which to assist them. They want to be updated as far as following certain sites such as blogs which update frequently. Technically, it is still about information. But now, it is about the latest feed or update that is important.

If you are having trouble marketing an selling stuff in the real world, why not try using a different medium such as the web. Online buying and selling has been the new age of doing business and apparently many people are getting hooked to it as well.

Just consider the fact that you don’t have to move from one place to another and just look at the item if it is indeed what you are looking for. If not go to another item. In summary, it is your finger tips that are doing the walking. It doesn’t get any better than that.

As far as the Internet is concerned, it has now become more of a simple reference for getting information. It has now gone as far as helping us interact, enjoy and even help at times when our health is not as good as it should be.

The Internet is really continuing to evolve. And there is no stopping new technology to set in as it has covered all bases from personal to business needs. With that in mind, do not be surprised if everyone has a gadget in hand. We are relying heavily on technology and hopefully it will always be there to assist us.

Many people are glued to the TV set. Some even have a small television set beside them whenever they are online. But today, this setup is no longer a reality. You can watch them on your computer via the web and still be in front of your computer. How neat is that?

Well, technically, technology is what you have to thank for. Without it, watching live shows online would not be made possible. The quality of these shows may not be in the same line of television today but give it some time and the live streams are sure to improve as well.

If you think blogs are mainly for putting in worthless ideas and stuff, guess again. The things and points you can get from them can really be something useful to anyone today.

A business blog is a marketing tool. A blog can add value to your Web site, or it can take the place of a Web site. Look on it as a combination “What’s New” Web site page, and an online journal. Because of a blog’s freewheeling nature, it’s friendly and relaxed.

So if you are in business and are growing tired of the standard marketing practices, try using a blog to help you out. It can make a big different.

There are a lot of us who get conned and glued into online games easily. Some look for the smart and sensible games while others are simply looking for something for recreation. Whichever of the two they may find, you will notice that time goes by quickly and they spend most of their time on the web and forget about reality.

When you think about it, do these games make you wiser or weird? Weird in the sense that your whole world would revolve around them and leaving the facts of reality behind. For sure, there has to be a fine line put in between. Otherwise, you may end up looking haggard and like a slacker.
