i-Pods banned

First cellphones and digital devices, now the iPod. Students have been using their iPods to cheat on tests and some teacher had overheard a few students talking about it-that's how the school system heard. One teacher found and confiscated an iPod from a student and found answers to a test among the songs. A student said that even though the schoo says that you can't use them anymore, that it won't stop using them to cheat. Another student said that she used to be able to listen to music after she was done with her test, and now she can't do that anymore. This all took place at Duke University in NC.

In Perth Amboy as the story tells there is a fifteen year old boy who apologized to ABC's lawyers about impersonating an ABC employee, called YouTube and said that he wanted all clips of 'The Chaser's War on Everything' removed from the site.

Courtney Gibson, the captain of ABC-TV comedy said quote, '"Everyone does dumb stuff when they are fifteen."'

She also told ABC radio that she is glad that the teen has apologized.
