Up first, Barbie has won. the 4-year battle between the classic doll and the rival Bratz doll is over. A federal judge ordered MGA Entertainment to stop production of the Bratz dolls, after ordering a total of 10-million-dollars in payment to Mattel for copyright infringement and breach of contract. The jury found that the Bratz designer created the Bratz idea while he worked at Mattel, and the long-time company claims that Barbie sales decreased when the edgier Bratz hit the market in 2001. And a San Diego teacher chose to sell advertisements for local businesses on his calculus exams. Tom Farber said that it's his solution to classroom budget cuts. He also said that he does not want this practice to be the norm and that the government should step up to help educators provide for their students. Farber used the 300-plus-dollar ad sales to pay for the costs of printing exams. A Colorado man got charged with 2-counts of criminal libel due to his online Craiglist posting. The 40-year-old allegedly posted unflattering comments about his former lover on the website's 'Rants and Raves' section in November 2007. Specifically, the man reportedly suggested that the woman traded sexual favors for legal services from her attorney. The law being used to charge the man is in question as to if it is outdated - it's a state law from the 1800s that allows people to be jailed for the content of their speech or writing.

There's a little birdie in town saying that Paris Hilton wants to be the next Disney star. The infamous Page Six reported that the socialite wants to play the role of Tinkerbell in a live-action version of the fairytale. In this particular remake, the sparkly, green-dusted fairy gets chance at life as a real girl. Hollywood's seemingly perfect couple opened up that it simply ain't so. Will and Jada Pinkett Smith went on the records saying they're not perfect and they have bad days just like any other couple. Wifey Jada goes on to say that certain things drive each other crazy. The movie biz duo is still going 11-years strong. And wrapping up, the Grammy noms got announced Wednesday night. With the most tallies, Lil Wayne had 8, followed by Coldplay with 7. Tied at 6 nominations, Jay-Z, Ne-Yo and Kanye West definitely did well. Some other winners-as-of-now, Adele scored 4 Grammy-nominations, Leona Lewis and Rhianna both received 3 among other mentions for Madonna, Robyn, M.I.A., Pink and Lady Gaga among other artists. Many industry-insiders are surprised that Katy Perry didn't get a Best New Artist nom, and that the Jonas Brothers got nominated for the newbie-title, especially since they really broke out in 2007 and already have 3 released albums.

Election News - Obama is President Elect!
[LESS INFO] 7 VIEWS | ADDED 16:56:01 11/10/08
Illinois senator Barack Obama took the presidential election over Arizona senator John McCain on Tuesday. In what many are calling a historic moment in America’s books, Obama will be the first African-American to be voted into the presidency. According to the latest numbers, Obama was ahead of the 270-point cutoff at 349 electoral votes as compared to McCain’s 163 votes. This year’s race for Senate is still in the works. It appears that the Democrats have locked up the majority with 56-seats versus the Republicans’ 40-Senate seats. The 4-remaining seats are important ones, because if the Democrats gain the openings, the party would be able to stop filibusters. According to recent reports, a re-count for the Senate race in Minnesota will be likely, because the winning-margin for Republican incumbent Norm Coleman over Democrat Al Franken is at 700-votes and it’s state-policy to re-count if the margin of victory is less than 1-half-percent. It also seems that the state of Georgia will head for a runoff, after neither Senate candidate secured a majority vote. And another questionable party-affiliation to further complicate the Senate head count is with Connecticut Senator, Joe Lieberman. As an Independent who has caucused with Democrats and supported the Republican presidential nominee, there’s no official word on which party he’s siding with in the Senate. However, both Barack Obama and John McCain said in their 2-separate speeches post-poll-closing that it’s important for all Americans – regardless of party-affiliation and who they voted for – to come together for creating solutions to our collective problems.

Get the latest news on getthedaily.com Ebay plans to cut their upfront listing fees by as much as 75-percent. The reason for the move is that Ebay wants to change their entire business model from the associated auction-style marketplace to a fixed rate, buy-now store. Ebay's hope is that cutting their fees will increase the inventory of items sold through the site, which will ultimately increase their revenue. And there's more trouble brewing for Steve Jobs and company. Apple admitted that its iPod Nano has had problems with smoking and sparking, an issue caused by overheating batteries. Apple said they will replace first generation Nanos, along with MacBook and MacBook Pro MagSafe power cords, which have had problems melting and ripping. And in the Online video world, video advertising network Tremor Media released figures showing that 80-percent of its users watch pre-roll ads all the way through. Tremor said that the numbers for the completion rate of both 15 and 30 second ads was nearly identical. Tremor's stats are good news for the industry, proving that viewers don't mind watching short ads before watching a free online video.

Get more at getthedaily.com In the world of video games, industry giant Electronic Arts decided to not extend their bid for a sixth time to acquire %ldquoGrand Theft Auto%rdquo makers Take Two Interactive. When Take Two learned about the bigger company's decision, they offered to open up their books to EA. Most analysts believe that the companies need each other and any animosity caused by the negotiations will eventually be forgotten in hopes of closing-out a deal. The Princeton Review is getting low marks from the public after a recent fiasco. Due to a problem with its website code, The Princeton Review unintentionally shared personal data about thousands of students publicly for seven weeks. Because of the code flaw, any web-searcher could easily access thousands of files on the site. Hardest hit were 34-thousand students from Sarasota, Florida and 74-thousand students from Fairfax County, Virginia, as data about gender, learning disabilities, birthdates, ethnicities, and test scores were on public display. And there is more rotten news for Apple. The company's troubled MobileMe service is still causing so many problems that the company has announced they will offer users two more months of free service. MobileMe has only been available for a month and Apple had already given out a free month of the service because some MobileMe users had lost emails. The service has been so unreliable that Steve Jobs admitted in an email that MobileMe has not lived up to the company's high standards. Analysts believe that Apple overextended itself when releasing MobileMe the same day as putting out the new 3G iPhone, the iPhone 2.0 operating system, and the new App Store. And in web radio, popular streaming radio sites like Pandora could be in big trouble if royalty laws are not changed. Last year, a federal panel ordered web radio broadcasters to pay twice the fees they were already paying, per song, per listener. While traditional radio doesn't pay such a fee and satellite radio pays a much lower one, web radio sites will see most of their revenue eaten up by the fees, with 70-percent of revenues going towards the fees. This week, California Representative Howard L. Berman is trying to make a last minute deal between webcasters and SoundExchange, the company that reps recording companies and artists. However, both sides have not yet budged. If an agreement is not reached, Pandora and other similar sites might simply have to shut down.

A man filed a lawsuit for 100-thousand-dollars against a Chicago restaurant Monday, claiming that it served him uncooked fish, resulting in his illness. The man said he got a 9-foot tapeworm after eating salmon salad at Shaw%rsquos Crab House in 2006. The Vice President of Food Safety for the restaurant%rsquos parent company said a thorough investigation was completed and that the restaurant was not the source of the tapeworm-causing illness. Reports on the number of Americans included on the Terrorist Screening Database are inconsistent. The American Civil Liberties Union says more than 1-million-names were added to the list since September 11th, while the FBI claims there are about 400-thousand people on the list and about 95-percent of listees are not US-citizens. In addition to the FBI, TSA does not allow airlines to confirm any names on the list, however, it recommends misidentified passengers submit completed Department of Homeland Security paperwork. TSA plans to cut-down on the misidentification's by implementing the Secure Flight Program in January 2009. And a 30-year-old woman pleaded guilty Tuesday to stealing the identity of a South Carolina woman who has been missing since 1999. The Montana woman, Elizabeth Reed, said in a South Carolina court that she used the stolen identity to get into Columbia University. Investigators said they do not believe Reed was involved in the disappearance, however, they suspect that she used 6-different identities from early-2001. Reed said she used the fake-identities to escape a painful past, and she now faces up to 47-years in prison and 1-million-dollars in charges.
