eldavojohn writes "Were you negatively affected by the recent ban on XBox Live for modifying hardware you own? Did you modify it for homebrew or altering things you paid for and NOT engage in piracy? Abington IP would like to hear from you and may be able to help. From that page, "If you are an Xbox Live subscriber, had your modified Xbox console banned from Xbox Live, were not refunded a prorated sum for the time left on your subscription or have experienced other problems as a result of being banned, and would like to participate in a class action against Microsoft, please submit your information below." Is someone finally standing up for the legitimate hobbyists? Should Microsoft be afraid?"

+-   Anti-Violence Game Allows Players to Abuse Women-> on Thursday November 19, @05:37PM eldavojohn

eldavojohn writes "Their hearts are probably in the right place but the message may be a little muddled in a Danish only anti-violence game entitled "Hit the Bitch". Depending on how successfully you beat her, you are rated from "pussy" to "gangsta." The game apparently allows an interactive mode if you have a webcam connected so when you swing your arm, the flash based game swings your arm at her. If you're wondering when the strong anti-violent message comes, it's at the end when the player is called an "idiot" for playing. It's generating so many pageviews that it's only for Danish IP addresses but despite that success it's probably not the most prudent advertisement model. More at Huffington Post."
