It seems the iPhone 4 jailbreak standoff we talked about earlier in the week could cut both ways.

Facebook is lending the Government a hand in its campaign of cuts. It’s running a Spending Challenge Channel to the Democracy UK page to ask you what budgets it should slash. To promote the initiative, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg called David Cameron up for a quick video chat. Sadly, they didn’t use FaceTime.

We’re dubious about the Government’s plan to get Facebook fans to work out policy but the real question is: who looks more uncomfortable Dave or Mark? Watch the video below and cast your vote!
After The Pirate Bay plugged the hole in its site found by hacker Ch Russo, it has posted a blog stating that the team are “very sad that it’s out there”. That’s right, The Pirate Bay are ‘sad’ that they missed a hole that leaked millions of users’ details.
