US Government Shuts Down Popular Uploading Site
The U.S. Government took down MegaUpload and hackers retaliated by attacking the FBI and Department of Justice websites.
One bit of fallout might be the public's reduction in trust for these "cloud-based" sites as a commenter on NPR's story complains.

Supreme Court refuses to hear MySpace cases
Two cases, one where both a student's punishment for bullying, and
another where a student's right to make arguably bullying comments are
left intact as the Supreme Court refuses to hear them.
Both concern whether a school board's authority can reach into students' homes and computer. Apparently the Court is not prepared to rule on the scope of a school's authority outside of school. I wonder what any court would say if the computers used were supplied by the school as they are here in Maine.
The fact that these cases involve MySpace gives us a hint about how long these people have been in court.
