Last Update on 05-13-2008 at 06:19:16from Eyewitness News Online Ban On Violence For Use On Internet Sites Proposed In Ny State ALBANY, N.Y. The idea of beating up on people for no good reason is considered wrong. Now a new law in New York State would make it even "wrong-er" -- if the violence is being done to be replayed on Internet sites. Lawmakers in the Empire State are considering a measure that would make it a felony to take part in what's known as "bum fighting," having homeless people either beaten up or paid to beat each other up. The encounters are taped and posted online. The bills are to be introduced today in the New York State legislature. The bills are also aimed at recent attacks of girls in Florida and Indiana which ended up being replayed on Web sites like YouTube.
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. You may know that Dave & Busters is a restaurant chain that features various types of video games and other arcade-style attractions. But authorities in New York say three men are being charged with taking up another type of computer activity at the chain: hacking. The men are accused of hacking into the chain's computerized cash registers and stealing credit card information from customers. Federal prosecutors say eleven Dave & Buster's restaurants around the U.S. were victimized by the scheme. One site on New York's Long Island netted information on 5,000 credit and debut cards. Dave & Busters has 50 locations around the country. On The Web: President Bush To Do Interview For Online Audience CYBERSPACE A little bit of history being made online today.

News and Politico, a Washington-based political journalism organization. The interview will be available starting this afternoon on Yahoo's site.

Don't hold your breath. It appears the number of units available are dwindling. Apple says its online stores in both the U.S. and Great Britain are out of the iPhone. Apple says the brick-and-mortar stores run by Apple and iPhone carriers like AT&T may still have some units around. Apple isn't saying why there is a shortage of iPhones. But there's been talk that a second generation of the phone-iPod combo is about to be launched. The new version of the iPhone is expected to feature faster Internet surfing speeds. Apple has been known for clearing out its inventory of a certain product ahead of a major upgrade. It's expected that news of the new product will come next month at the Apple developer's conference in San Francisco. |
