A US federal appeals court has ruled that MySpace.com is immune from a lawsuit over the alleged sexual assault of a teenage girl by a man she met on the social networking website.
The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals' decision on Friday upholds the dismissal of the lawsuit.
The Texas girl's family had sued MySpace and its parent company, News Corp, claiming that MySpace did not protect young users from sexual predators.
The court says federal law bars such lawsuits against web-based services like MySpace.
It also noted that the girl, identified as Julie Doe in court papers, was 13 but indicated she was 18 when she created a MySpace profile in 2005. She was 14 when authorities say a then-19-year-old man sexually assaulted her.

So another American idiot decides to sue

Argument simplifying to them blaming the communication medium in which their daughter interacted with another man. It's same as trying to blame the phone company for letting their daughter call a pedophile.

lol easy cash for the lawyers

A 14-year-old girl looked a man in the eye as he filmed up her skirt in a suburban shopping mall, a Sydney court has heard.
Robert Ian Drummond, 41, a teacher at Cromer High School in Sydney's northern beaches, is charged with using a camera hidden in a plastic bag to film up the girl's skirt at Warringah Mall on May 1, 2007.
Drummond has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Police prosecutor Margaret Cunneen told Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court the girl complained to her mother and then to police after noticing the camera underneath her school skirt.
"The defendant was close by her at the checkout counter and she noticed that he placed an open shopping bag very close to her right foot and she perceived it was under the area covered by her school skirt," Ms Cunneen said.
"She complained to police that she had seen what looked like an upturned video camera in the bag and noticed a red light coming from the camera."
Ms Cunneen said the girl "looked him in the eye" before promptly leaving the store with her mother.
She said CCTV images of the man were published in the Manly Daily about 10 days later in a bid to seek public assistance in identifying him.
Drummond was arrested and charged on May 11, 2007.
A subsequent search of his Harbord home allegedly revealed indecent film of the 14-year-old girl and of another teenage girl believed to be 16 at the time the video was taken.
Drummond has been charged with an act of indecency, an aggravated act of indecency, and with making and possessing child pornography.
The hearing before magistrate Julie Huber continues.

Fireman drives 20 years without licence

A Japanese firefighter who has driven trucks and ambulances hundreds of times over 20 years has been sacked after it emerged he never had a driver's licence.
The man's family was in on his secret and would drive him each day to and from the fire station from where he would get behind the wheel of fire engines and ambulances.
But the firefighter in Takaoka, a city 300km northwest of Tokyo, was caught last week after he hesitated to show his licence during a routine inspection, fire department spokesman Shigeru Sawasaki said.
"An inspector thought he was looking awkward and yanked the driver's licence from his hand and discovered it was his father's," Sawasaki said.
The firefighter, who is in his 40s, was employed for some 20 years. During the five years to this March, for which records were available, he drove ambulances 309 times and fire trucks 97 times, city officials said.
The city cut the salaries of the fire department chief, his deputy and other senior officials by one-10th for one month as punishment.
The local government only began monthly licence inspections in November.
"We regret that we have operated on the presumption that firefighters have drivers' licences," Sawasaki said.

I read in one of the business/career articles in msn.com where top CEO's and managers lied on their resumes. Half of them continued working in their job and half of them resigned.
One case I found quite hilarious was that one of the successful CEO's resigned and about half a year later, their business turned to shit.

Japanese company, Sega Toys, has produced a 38 cm tall robotic girlfriend for lonely adult men.

EMA, or Eternal Maiden Actualisation, uses infrared sensors and battery power to sense nearby human heads, so that she can enter 'love mode'. In this mode, she can kiss on command and puckers up for anyone nearby.

"Strong, tough and battle-ready are some of the words often associated with robots, but we wanted to break that stereotype and provide a robot that's sweet and interactive," said Minako Sakanoue, a spokeswoman for the maker, Sega Toys.

"She's very lovable and though she's not a human, she can act like a real girlfriend."

EMA runs on batteries and can also hand out business cards, sing and dance. The robot is expected to go on sale in September and will retail for approximately $175.

A female motorist was lucky to survive an incident when she was terrorised by a BMW driver on a Melbourne freeway, police said.

Police said the 30-year-old woman lost control of her silver Toyota Corolla and hit a steel barrier on the left side of the West Gate freeway at Grieve Parade in last night's road rage incident.

She suffered minor head injuries, but police spokeswoman Snr Const Sharon Darcy said the outcome could have been much worse.

"Police are lucky not to be investigating a fatal accident after a woman was terrorised on the West Gate Freeway around 7.15pm yesterday ...," Snr Const Darcy said.

The drama started on the West Gate Bridge outbound, shortly after the woman changed lanes.

A blue BMW behind her sped up and tailgated the women's vehicle, then overtook, moved in front of her and braked heavily, police said.

The woman had to brake sharply to avoid hitting the car, but the other driver kept repeating the action.

When the woman tried to change lanes and get away, the BMW also moved lanes and braked heavily again.

Just before Grieve Parade, the BMW veered at the woman's car in an apparent bid to force it into a concrete barrier in the emergency lane in the centre of the road.

She braked hard to avoid hitting the barrier and lost control of her car, which went into a spin across all four lanes and hit the steel barrier.

The other car did not stop.

Police said the car they are looking for is described as a navy blue BMW hatchback about three to four years old.
