Facebook asked to pull Scrabulous

Facebook has been asked to remove the Scrabulous game from its website by the makers of Scrabble.
The Facebook add-on has proved hugely popular on the social network site and regularly racks up more than 500,000 daily users.
Lawyers for toy makers Hasbro and Mattel say Scrabulous infringes their copyright on the board-based word game.

This seems rather poopy of Hasbro and Mattel. I’d bet that out of those half a million daily users on Facebook, most of them already have the board game, or have since bought one as a result of Scrabulous.

I sure hope this won’t affect email Scrabulous! 😕

. . . in order to move forward.

But gaaaaaa! it’s awful! And yes I know, I know!!! that it’s all my fault for not doing computer backups on a more regular basis. But unlike with cleaning cat ears it seriously is not one of those things where the anticipation is worse than the reality (au contraire). The reality of backing up stuff totally sucks, especially when there is so much to catch up on. I hearby vow to do weekly backups if once I get finished with this lot.

How often do you back up your computer files?
