    This is all just vacuous words on a screen. In a week this thread will have slowed down, by Xmas it will be dead and by 2013 it will be forgotten. All talk and no action is the typical mantra of most so called concientious community members here.

    Health Hazard

    Vinyl acetate has been related to reproductive abnormalities. It is a skin and upper respiratory tract irritant and a central nervous system depressant. Exposure caused gradual deterioration of heart muscles. Fire Hazard

    When heated to decomposition, Vinyl acetate burns and emits acrid fumes. Highly dangerous when exposed to heat, flames or oxidizers; explosion hazard with strong acids and strong oxidizers.

    long over due i think!

    Hacktivist group Anonymous has announced it will take down Facebook and release Zynga's games for free download on 5 November if the latter does not backtrack on alleged plans to lay off 1,000 employees and outsource work.

    News of the Guy Fawkes Night attack, #OP MaZynga, came a week after online gaming giant Zynga announced a five percent employee cull and the closure of its Boston office -- employees at its Austin branch were given two hours to clean out their desks while the world's attention was distracted by Apple's iPad mini unveiling on 23 October. Zynga also indicated its British and Japanese offices might close, and there are plans to switch maintenance of The Ville to its India base. Savings from the cuts should amount to between $15 million and $20 million (£9 million and £12 million).

    The strategy might appear sound, considering the 75 percent drop in the developer's share price over the past year (though, since the cuts, things have already begun to look up). However, Zynga has also admitted to having a $1.6 billion (£1 billion) stash in cash and equivalents -- something that has evidently perturbed Anonymous.

    "During the last few days anonymous has been targeting Zynga for the outrageous treatment of their employees and their actions against many developers," the hacking group announced in a YouTube video, which was almost immediately taken down because of the site's policy on the "depiction of harmful activities".

    "We have come to believe that this actions of Zynga will result in massive layoff of a thousand people and legal actions against everyone that speaks to the public about this plan," the statement continued. "It will also come to end of the US game market as we know it as all this jobs will be replaced in other more convenient financial countries. With a billion dollars cash sitting in a bank we do believe that such actions are an insult to the population and the behaviour of corporations like Zynga must change."

    Anonymous claims to have access to leaked internal documents from Zynga executives that it initially posted online (these links have since been blocked) and plans to make public by publishing the key to the developer's data files -- if the company refuses to concede to its demands.

    Extracts from these alleged documents are, however, pretty damning for Anonymous. They are written in the same unmistakable broken English the hacktivist group is known for, and are peppered with grammatical errors:

    "Following the preliminary announced of this week the final strategy for the next two quarters has been successfully set to delivery by november 23 an additional but of 800 jobs with further raising of new capital from the market to support businesses. We've identified our global gambling strategy with bwin.party and as we speak discussions are progressing with a partner to cover the US market. Work is focused and on-going to completely outsource our development teams in our offices in Bangalore, India to hedge our position in the long term."

    According to the statement, Zynga also plans to acquire the games Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Shove Prod and Music Invaders for $20 million (coincidentally, the same amount it will save on cuts). The documents' existence could be a complete falsity, or it might just be that Anonymous lost its access to the memos and decided to freestyle with a new transcription (unlikely).

    Whatever the truth, or the validity of the group's claims that it has the ability to take down Facebook and release the games, it might be an idea to keep tabs on the Anonymous site this Fireworks' night for an onslaught of free-gaming fun.

    Wired.co.uk contacted Zynga and YouTube for comment, but at the time of publishing neither had responded.

    "Mental Health Commissioner and clinical psychologist, Mr Eddie Bartnik " Sounds like this dickwad should have the psycho-surgery and the electroshock treatment..this is what shits me about psychiatrists they treat ppl like guinea pigs! if you don't like something done to yourself then what gives them the right to do it other ppl especially children....the whole profession of psychiatry has far to much influence on society from the judicial system to the prisons to family law, when a simple 30 min consultation with a neurotic PHD dick wad can have severe life changing affects on someones life forever or see them permanently medicated on zombie pills, so they are easier to nurse and deal with then free thinkers one has to realise that indeed it is becoming a scarey society governed and run by CNTS!
