Tom Cruise self-destructing. Who could have imagined? Promoting Scientology surely leads celebrities to say incredibly stupid things, like his assertion there "is no such thing as a chemical imbalance." I'd say you're looking more and more like living proof of the opposite, Mr Cruise. Why not tell the audience directly that mental problems are caused by invisible space aliens infesting us because evil emperor Xenu blew them up with hydrogen bombs 75 million years ago? Or something like that, according to scifi writer and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

I wish I was making up the above, but I am not.

THE EXPECTED SUPREME COURT RULING in the Grokster file sharing case ended in an unanimous shock ruling for the media companies:

The justices, aiming to curtail what they called a "staggering" volume of piracy online, largely set aside concerns that new lawsuits would inhibit technology companies from developing the next iPod or other high-tech gadgets or services.

It is undoubtedly going to be an avalanche in lawsuits after this ruling, as the media companies test the limits for this new ruling. Grokster and Morpheus may well be a no-brainer, but what about Microsoft, Apple and Yahoo? There will be a lots of days in court.
