Friday, Britain's High Court declined the autistic British man's appeal not to be extradited to the US to face trial for hacking into military computers. The Court ruled that Gary McKinnon should face the extradition, moreover Judge Stanley Burnton said in his 41-page ruling that extradition was "a lawful and proportionate response to his offending." He also said the case should be dealt with "as expeditiously as possible," and McKinnon could be extradited by September.

As a British judge ruled in a decision made known on Monday, Google is not responsible for aspersion online comments that appeared in its Internet search results. 

Google cannot be considered a publisher under English law, as company’s automated search engine works over the Web and indexes content without any human input, as Justice David Eady reported. As the judge wrote in a decision dated July 16, Google had not authorized or caused the comments to appear on a user's computer screen.
