Eight teens charged:Victoria Lindsay
According to a report on MSNBC, 8 teens have been charged in the brutal beating of 16-year-old cheerleader Victoria Lindsay. Victoria was apparently lured into a house in late March when 6 teen girls then viciously attacked her. The girls videotaped the beatings to place on YouTube and MySpace. The remaining two teens that were charged were young men, who acted as a lookout while the beatings took place. They are calling this a “revenge” beating for comments that were allegedly posted on Victoria Lindsay’s MySpace page.

If you listen her parents, they are more concern to myspace, youtube….
Whatever has happened, may be not a new thing in crime world. But statements of her parents brought a Qs to the entire web2.0 team to follow up some standards, which must bound people to interact within a boundary.

JRuby upgraded to version1.1
JRuby, which provides a version of the Ruby programming language to run on the Java Virtual Machine, has been upgraded, according to Sun.
Unveiled Monday as the second major project release, JRuby 1.1 features performance improvements, a re-factored IO implementation and improved memory consumption.
Also featured is compilation of Ruby to Java byte and an Oniguruma port to Java. Oniguruma is a regular expressions library.
“The main goal for version 1.1 was to improve performance,” said Sun engineer Thomas Enebo, in a statement released by Sun. “With the help from the community, we have made great strides in performance. There have been more and more reports of applications exceeding Ruby 1.8.6 performance; we are even beating Ruby 1.9 in some micro-benchmarks.”
