There is more water on the moon in more locations than originally thought, a discovery that may bolster NASA's long-held goal of setting up an outpost there, a researcher said Thursday.

On Monday, the new chairman of the Federal Communications Commission said the agency would write rules requiring Internet providers to do something many of them already say they do: deliver online content without discrimination. So why were there so many long faces in telecom afterward?
Lily Allen file-sharing scandal spirals out of control
SINGER Lily Allen says she intends to quit music and has deleted her blog created to protest illegal file-sharing.
Since Allen was caught plagiarising other people’s work on the blog earlier this week, the whole thing has spiralled out of control.
Read on for a full recap.

Here’s the story in easy-to-follow point form. The events are spread across a week or so:
1) Allen starts blog to protest illegal sharing of music. The issue is a hot topic in the UK at the moment thanks to proposed laws that would see the internet connections of offenders temporarily suspended.
2) Allen gets caught nicking other people’s words for said blog, prompting claims she’s a hypocrite from other bloggers and tech journalists.
3) Allen apologises for the infringement and gets flamed by hundreds of people in the comments.
4) To make matters worse, bloggers discover Allen is hosting unauthorised mixtapes on her official website, featuring songs by dozens of other artists including Jay-Z, Jefferson Airplane and The Kinks. This is where it all starts falling apart.
5) Allen offers a second apology: “i made those mixtapes 5 years ago, i didn’t have a knowledge of the workings of the music industry back then...”
6) Allen says she has “no plans to make another record” and isn’t supporting tough new sanctions against file-sharers out of personal interest.
“The days of me making money from recording music has been and gone as far as I’m concerned, so I don’t stand to profit from legislation,” she says.
7) Allen deletes the blog. She says on Twitter: “i’m proud of the fact that i’ve been involved with this debate but i’m passing the baton on to other artists.”
Well, that was a bit of fun, eh?
