Reddit Ireland turns off at midnight to stop racist trolls
Reddit Ireland has taken the "difficult decision" to shut down in the early hours of the morning, to limit the racist and extremist content posted from the US during daytime hours there.
A multitude of accounts using false identities were to blame, it said. Moderators said having to check every comment on the social network's forums had pushed them to "breaking point". The page is now seeking to expand its team of moderators and add filters that can spot posts "hateful" comments. In a post on the page, which has 280,000 members, it said: "We're taking the very difficult decision today to shut down Reddit Ireland temporarily between midnight and 08:00 each day in order to stem the flow of racist/extremist content which is being posted at these times." -

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare fix causes Xbox owners more headaches
The makers of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare say they have "resolved" a problem that caused updates to the video game to be more than twice the size they should have been.
But several players who have tried to take advantage of the fix have reported being worse off as a consequence. The initial issue led some Xboxes to start downloading an 85 gigabyte file that should have been about 40GB. And some who cancelled this to try again have lost their main game file. As a consequence they have had to download the entire title from scratch, entailing a download of more than 100GB. -

Microsoft: No, you can't
Sony: Yes, I can
Microsoft: No, you can't
Sony: Yes, I can
Microsoft: No, you can't
Sony: Yes, I can, yes, I can -
