Mark Zuckerberg has revealed his determination to allow under-13s onto Facebook, whatever politicians, regulators and the rest of the grownups say.

Speaking at an education summit in the US, the 27-year-old said the "educational benefits" of his social network made it a must-visit site for everyone old enough to push a mouse.

President Sarkozy said that states were subject to the will of their citizens who were currently engaged in a revolution, empowered by the internet.

However, President Sarkozy claimed that countries could not remain neutral and allow completely unchecked internet use.

"At least Sarkozy acknowledged that he doesn't own the internet and his government doesn't own the internet. Nonetheless, he is claiming sovereignty here and so will the G8 and I have fear in that.

The researchers have discovered that the vast majority (95 per cent) of the credit card payments to unlicensed pharmaceutical sites are handled by just three payment processing firms - based in Azerbaijan, Denmark and Nevis, in the West Indies, respectively.

The study discovered that payment-processing for replica and software products advertised through spam was also monetised using merchant services from just a handful of banks.

Among the new targets are two sites that linked to copyrighted films hosted on third party streaming sites such as megavideo.com and veoh.com.

The authorities are also aware of the fact that the domain seizures themselves are not really an effective tool. As pointed out before, more than half of the piracy-related domains that were seized by Operation In Our Sites simply continued under a different name.

Morton replied to this critique by emphasizing that the seizures also act as "public education about pirating."

The unnamed writer allegedly named a footballer, who is accused of having an affair, known in court papers as TSE.

The alleged breach comes amid heightened scrutiny of gagging orders such as injunctions and so-called super-injunctions - court orders that prevent the media from revealing even the fact that an injunction has been granted.

The committee's report said super-injunctions were now being granted for "short periods" and only where "secrecy is necessary".

However, he warned that modern technology was "totally out of control" and society should consider other ways to bring Twitter and other websites under control.

In a post on the group's blog today, EFF staff attorney Julie Samuels said Apple has put developers in a difficult position by requiring them to use within their apps in-app purchase (IAP), a mechanism that's been targeted by a third-party group that says the technology infringes on its patents.

Apple has still not publicly addressed Lodsys' claims or responded to requests for comment. A report by the Guardian earlier this week said Apple was "actively investigating" the matter.

Those wishing to cough $8 a month (or $60 a year, $100 for two years) for the iPlayboy service are promised "every issue, every Playmate, every celebrity, every article, every joke, even every vintage advertisement".

A big selling point for iPlayboy is the back catalogue's availability on the iPad, entirely uncensored as Hugh Hefner previously promised. This has prompted questions as to just how the smutmonger has managed to bypass the Apple ban on porn.

Amazon announced today it is expanding its trade-in program to allow customers to swap their used electronics for Amazon gift cards.

After Amazon receives and inspects the items, the gift cards are deposited in the customer's Amazon account, usually within 48 hours, Amazon said. Rejected items are returned to the customer within 14 days at no cost.

Just two days after the PlayStation Network was restored after a near month-long outage, the PSN password page has apparently been exploited. According to reports, the exploit allows other users to reset your account password using only your e-mail address and date of birth. This personal data was made available to hackers during the initial PSN attack.

"We temporarily took down the PSN and Qriocity password reset page. Contrary to some reports, there was no hack involved. In the process of resetting of passwords there was a URL exploit that we have subsequently fixed."

Last year, Fitchette, who was 16 at the time, was riding a city bus in Newark, N.J., when two police officers got on to deal with a man who seemed to be drunk. Fitchette decided this would be a good moment to take out her phone and start recording.

The police erased the video from Fitchette's phone. She was handcuffed and spent the next two hours in the back of a squad car before she was released. No charges were filed.

"They need to move quickly, in split seconds, without giving a lot of thought to what the adverse consequences for them might be," says Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police.
