The online game Warcraft experienced downtime recently due to over use of the systems that support the online game.

JumpStart web hosting services got hit with a $900,000 civil penalty for allowing some of their clients to send emails regarding a Free Flix Tix promotion whch the FTC says violated the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act.
