Scrabulous = Dead
After a long and difficult battle, the mega-popular Facebook application Scrabulous is officially dead. Log on, check it out, smile at this stock "sorry" from Facebook:
Scrabulous is disabled for US and Canadian users until further notice. If you would like to stay informed about developments in this matter, please click here.

We knew this was coming. Hasbro has done everything in its power to shut Scrabulous down, including but not limited to starting it's own version of the program.
What are your thoughts on Scrabulous's demise? Personally, I stopped using it months ago because it was sucking the productivity right out of my day job.

Within one hour of its unboxing, The One became the undisputed ruler of Tiny's entire home. Buy this or despair.
A perfect example of the American legal system: everything good for big business, screw the individual.

Oh, please. Hasbro clearly owned the copyright for this and tried to reach a settlement with the creators of Scrabulous but they got greed and wanted $10mil for a program they had no right to. There are plenty of valid examples of corporate indecency; this is not one of them.
wow, one of the few times my not being in america means I get something not available in the states.
