An illegal tweet, iPhone jailbreak and £4.7m for Pirate Bay
Posted by: Jane Douglas
As MSN’s working Friday draws to a close (and with the rest of the editorial team glued to the Roddick-Murray match), let’s take a look at the week’s top stories – as picked by the good readers of Tech & Gadgets.
Our most read news story was that of Jean Anleu, the Guatemalan Twitter user arrested for undermining his country’s banking system with a single tweet, according to the prosecution.
Not far behind Anleu’s predicament came news of the inevitable first jailbreaking of the iPhone 3GS and the sale of Pirate Bay for £4.7m to Swedish software outfit Global Gaming Factory X.
Meanwhile, the highlight of my week was the Left 4 Dead 2 press event (look out for our preview next week), terrorised by snarling, sprinting, actual* zombies.
These guys almost made up for the disappointment of (just) failing to complete the final chapter of The Parish campaign, a gruelling gauntlet run across a semi-destroyed bridge towards rescue.
