Shops could run out of PlayStation 3s after thousands are seized by customs over patent row

Customs officials have been ordered to seize all British PlayStation 3 shipments following a row over the use of Blu-Ray technology within the consoles.

Electronic giants Sony and LG are locked in battle over patents forcing officials to confiscate thousands of machines in Holland.

The ban on imports is currently set to last ten days, but could be extended if Sony does not overturn a court injunction won by LG at a civil court in The Hague.

The Japanese company is currently appealing the decision to the European Patent Office - but LG can also apply to extend the ban.

China badass recycle cooking oil for consumation.Shocking digusting.

It was reported in China Smack that some unscrupulous Chinese people were exposed for selling recycled cooking oil cheaply.

While some may argue that it is environmentally friendly to recycle, these people are recycling the oil from swill, which is basically discarded food waste thrown away by people and restaurants. Most of the time in the past, such swill is fed to pigs but this time at least one unscrupulous group was caught gathering the food waste to “recycle” the oil in the swill to sell as cooking oil. Obviously this “cooking” oil is cheaper than fresh cooking oil.

While the source of the cheap oil is dubious, many street vendors are still tempted to purchase the oil in an attempt to keep their costs low.

Shit man,this is totally not hygiene, these chinese people are amazing.Now wondere China need to have a communists government..Imagine if democratic then don know wat shit they will recycle.
