Hasbro sent Facebook a cease and desist letter saying that Scrabulous is a breach of copyright and that Facebook could face legal action over my favorite game according to AAP.
The Scrabulous game, which was developed by Indian brothers Rajat Agarwalla and Jayant Agarwalla, has become a big money earner for the pair.
It has been claimed that the brothers are receiving $US25,000 ($A27,853) per month in advertising revenue from Facebook.
According to Fortune magazine, Hasbro sent a cease-and-desist notice to Facebook asking them to remove the application.
Please Hasbro don't kill my guilty pleasure and the addiction of at least 500,000 people a day. I love when you put a bunch of letters together and they create a 40 point word and you are like that is a word! And with my spelling, I am happy anything is a word! Plus I have made friends all over the world playing this game. On that not time to start a new game with one of them.

Yeah, it is two days after Christmas, but like Erin Murphy I am in LA and it doesn’t snow here. I so miss snow and that instant snow is way too cool not to have. Whether you live in LA or Toronto, it is dog pee-free snow and not cold enough to melt…but sadly not hard enough to throw an ice ball at someone or sleigh down a hill with. But either way it is still freaking cool!!!
Sprint PCS dropped over 1,200 customers for over calling their customer service department according to News4Jax. Sprint is not cutting off the people that call 1 or 2 times a month, but the 1,200 people who called over 40 – 50 times a month. Sprint feels these people are not happy, so why not just get rid of them. They said, "Rather than continue to operate in a situation that was unsatisfactory for Sprint and our subscribers, we chose to terminate our relationship with those customers to allow them to pursue other options." Those people that were dropped were sent a letter last month letting them know. My question is, if you drop people like that aren't they going to call and complain even more that they were dropped?
And BTW good for Sprint for doing that! Those people need to get lives and stop their complaining so much. Now I have to go call my cable company for the 50th time to find out when they are going to fix my cable.
Sick of fumbling with those old-fashioned prophylactics? Well have no fear, the spray-on condom is here! Jan Vinzenz Krause from the Institute for Condom Consultancy and his team are developing the ultimate in comfortable protection for men, Reuters reports. No more strewn condom wrappers or pesky imprints in your wallet … the condom of the future will be spray-as-you-go. Krause’s invention consists of a can-type device that sprays latex from all sides. "We call it the ‘360 degree procedure’ — once round and from top to bottom. It’s a bit like a car wash." Krause says the plan is to have the product work in about 5 seconds, making it especially convenient for those heat-of-the-moment situations where time is of the essence. He says the product will be extra-effective since it will be custom fit and won’t slip. However, before the new condom can be sold in shops, the company has to ensure that the latex gets evenly spread when it’s sprayed. Mr Krause hopes the hi-tech condom, which will be available in different strengths and colors, will on the market by 2008. Krause said he had hit upon the idea when considering the difficulties some people faced using condoms, and drew inspiration from spray-on plasters now used in medicine.
