It was always obvious that German social network StudiVZ is a blatant copycat of Facebook. But yesterday Facebook has filed for injunctive relief because StudiVZ allegedly has even stolen FB’s source-code. I would find it absolutely jaw-dropping if this would turn out to be true (irrespective if the original owner of this intellectual property is really Facebook or rather ConnectU).
Read more about the case at Heise (German only). Commenters at Heise suspect that interns at FB have copied the code.

Mong Kong based toy manufacturer and distributor Hot Toys released a new pair of Chris and Sheva Resident Evil 1/6 scale figures, which are — as Kotaku puts it — insanely-detailed. The level of detail is really jaw-dropping. Hot Toys works with several Hong Kong collectable toy designers like Eric So and Brothersworker to produce mainly film-related products.

Check out Kotaku’s gallery after the jump.
