LONDON (AP) Status update: You're sued. A British judge says it's OK to use Facebook to serve legal claims. Lawyers in a case had been trying to track someone in order to serve legal documents. One of the attorneys says a copy of the suit was left at the man's last known address, but that it wasn't clear whether he was still living there, and they didn't have his email address.

So, they applied for permission to send him the claim through Facebook. She says they monitored the account and know he checked it regularly. Ordinarily, British legal claims are served in person, by mail, or by fax, although unconventional methods are used occasionally if the people involved are hard to pin down.

Last year, a judge filed an injunction against London-based Occupy protesters via text message.

WASHINGTON (AP) Cybersecurity experts have told Congress to close loopholes in legislation to give the government more power to force critical industries to make their computer networks more secure.

Experts told a Senate committee the bill could allow many companies to avoid regulation entirely or drag out the process for up to eight years before they would actually have to improve their computer security. The legislation would limit the number of industries subject to regulation to those in which a cyberattack could cause ``an extraordinary number of fatalities'' or a ``severe degradation'' of national security. The legislation is intended to ensure that computer systems running power plants and other essential parts of the country's infrastructure are protected from hackers, terrorists or other criminals.

Business groups argue that more regulation is not the answer and that any new mandates will drive up costs without really increasing security.

WASHINGTON (AP) If you bought a TV, monitor, or notebook computer that had a certain LCD screen you might be impacted by settlements totaling over a-half billion dollars.

Settlements have been reached in several cases involving the price of thin film transistor liquid crystal display flat panels, or TFT-LCDs. The lawsuits claim the defendants conspired to fix, raise, maintain or stabilize prices of the flat panels resulting in overcharges to consumers.

The companies deny the allegations. And a court hasn't decided who's right. The settlements would pay over $538 million to eight states, and consumers in 24 states and Washington, D.C. There'll be a hearing in May on whether the settlements will be approved.
