...online version of the popular word game. Created in 2006 to waste time and wage distant linguistic battles, Scrabulous eventually became the most popular application on Facebook, attracting more than 500,000 players each day to the social-networking site. But the brothers, Jayant and Rajat Agarwalla, had a quick and clever response to the accusations of copyright infringement. Their newly dubbed "WordScraper" now features a malleable board that, if one feels so inclined, can be rearranged to form the original Scrabble board...

(Advice: Let the device dry after cleaning, then buff - a pant leg works splendidly - as there's a little leftover residue.) The towlettes are big, so you can cut them in half and double your mileage. There's a distinct presence of alcohol, but with the added green...
...Since the terrorist attacks in Mumbai last week, journalists and public intellectuals in the West have been quick to tell their Indian counterparts that India did not, in fact, just experience their own 9/11. Cambridge University professor Priyamvada Gopal wrote in The Guardian yesterday, that “describing last week’s attacks in Mumbai as India’s 9/11 diminishes both that carnage and the atrocity in New York seven years ago.” It was just typical domestic political subterfuge, or no more than the usual conflict with Pakistan. But for Indian citizens, those...
