recurring claim that an Xbox 360 defect gouges discs.

Ashley Madison at risk of
class action lawsuit
Several high-profile hacks,
including the recent attack against Ashley Madison, a website for people
looking to have an affair, have raised questions about whether online activity
is ever truly private.
Ashley Madison is built around the notion
of safeguarding its users' information — reflected in its signature image
of a woman's pursed lips making the 'shh' sign, seemingly meant to reassure
would-be adulterers that their secrets are safe.

Jon
Corzine may face class action over MF Global
NEW YORK • MF Global Holdings
Ltd. commodities customers may pursue their lawsuit seeking hundreds of
millions of dollars from former chief executive Jon Corzine and other officials
over the brokerage's bankruptcy as a class action, a federal judge said on
Monday.
U.S.
District Judge Victor Marrero in Manhattan said it was desirable to let the
roughly 25,200 customers sue as a group rather than require a
"plethora" of individual lawsuits, a process he said would be
"wholly inefficient and wasteful."
The
lawsuit seeks at least $820 million, comprising at least $350 million of
prejudgment interest, and $470 million to repay advances from MF Global
brokerage trustee James Giddens, which he could not recover in the bankruptcy
proceedings, according to Merrill Davidoff, a lawyer for the customers.
It was just last week that we posted a report titled "Employees who Sued Apple in 2013
Over Demeaning Bag Searches Get their Case Certified as a Class Action."
Since that time two new Class Actions have been filed against Apple over breach
of contract in relation to AppleCare services. The second lawsuit which was
filed on July 18 by Joanne McRight is the case that we're reporting on today
which involves AppleCare and AppleCare+ coverage of two iPhones.
