Facebook wins anti-spam case
Social networking site Facebook says it has won a multi-million dollar award in an anti-spam case.
Facebook says the court in California awarded it $711 million in damages against Internet marketer Sanford Wallace. Facebook sued Wallace for accessing users’ accounts without their consent and sending phony messages.

Wallace earned the nicknames “Spam King” and “Spamford” as he headed a company that sent as many as 30 million junk e-mails a day in the 1990s. Last November, Facebook won an even larger judgment against a company that bombarded users with sexually explicit spam messages.

Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.
