This is an interesting dilemma. Another issue to consider is that US films open earlier than in the UK. Maybe there should be a US Box Office sub-category and a European Box Office sub-category. Also, pertaining to the Lost issue, maybe there should be a section with a disclaimer warning users across the Atlantic that the plot can be spoiled?

Even though it's blatant infringement, I love my Scrabulous. It's definitely still running.

The last I heard, Mattel's attorneys warned Facebook to take it down, but that hasn't happened. This issue definitely isn't dead--so is the speed of infringement cases.

There seems to be some confusion about jail vs. prison. Simpson has not gone to trial yet and the prospects of prison time has yet to be considered. I think this was settled too early too.

These are great points to think about when amending the weather rules. It is not always a simple category to manage and I particularly like the examples that TruthWrangler developed. Also if you are familiar with the NOAA site, it is definitely not great. When trying to look up daily weather reports, you are often directed to weird and complicated databases. News source specificity is appreciated, but sometimes it can make things more complicated. Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

It's settled as a "no"

I think this would be a very helpful feature as well. Good thinking!

Confusion about Amy Winehouse? News saying multiple things!

Not that I'm a huge Amy Winehouse fan, but there seems to be some confusion as to the status of Winehouse's US visa denial/acceptance. News sources appear to be publishing contradicting statements. Was she denied access or not? This is definitely not Hubdub's fault in the way they settled the market--the news is very unclear here. Am I missing something?
