FIFA APPROVED FOUTH GOAL-LINE TECHNOLOGY
According to what world football governing body, FIFA said on Friday, the fourth goal-line technology has been approved and granted license by FIFA.
FIFA gave an insight as to how the German-produced GoalContrrol4D works. When the ball crossed the line completely, the central analysis unit sends a signal to the match referee in less than one seconds, to determine if the ball actually crosses the goal line.
Meanwhile, the European football governing body, UEFA has yet to adopt goal-line technology, rather employ an extra linesman behind the post.
Goal-line technology will be used at this year's Confederation cup and FIFA world cup both in Rio De Jenairo, Brazil.
Goal-line technology came in being as a result of controversies surrounding Frank Lampard goal against Germany at the 2010 FIFA world cup in South Africa.

5 YEAR OLD BOY SPENDS 17000 POUNDS ON ITUNES
I believed this news should serve as a warning to all parents out there who allow their kids to do all sorts of things on the internet without them knowing.
A 5 year old Bristol boy, Danny Kitchen gave his parent ''a tip of the ice berg'' about his future spending habit. When Danny asked his father Greg to unlock the family's iPad that he wanted to download a free game, his father put in a passcode believing his son is doing just that. He played with the device for a further 15 minutes downloading stuff on iTunes not knowing he was spending 1,700 pounds of his parent cash on iTunes. what do you expect? he is only 5.
The Kitchen received an email about the purchase but ignored because they believed it was sent in error. However, the Kitchens were alerted about the transactions after receiving a phone call from their credit card company.
When Danny was told what he had done, he was upset and promise not to do it again. The family has received a full refund from Apple.
