“For the past many months & even years, Defendants have dedicated an extraordinary amount of time & energy toward looking for, #hacking into, #tampering with, #manipulating, copying, #disseminating, & generally obsessing over data that they were given that was taken or #stolen,” the #lawsuit charges. It alleges that the duo’s actions violated the federal #ComputerFraudAndAbuseAct.

Yesterday's #ThemeTunePopQuiz included my favourite #Bacharach #Costello song, Toledo.

"But do people living in Toledo
Know that their name hasn't traveled very well?
And does anybody in Ohio
Dream of that Spanish citadel?"

Here are pics of Toledo with its high castellated walls, gothic alleyways & Moorish Alcázar. Taken on my last visit when #LFC won the #UEFACL

I'd heard the song before I'd visited. Has anyone travelled to a place because of a song, movie or book?

What a year for music! And Maggie came in 4th???
