TECH BUZZ: The Missouri mom was cleared on felony charges but convicted on three misdemeanor offenses for the hoax that led to Megan Meier's suicide. Drew faces three years in prison but will likely only serve probation, which might be enough given that she'll always be the mom who made a 13-year-old kill herself by MySpace. Google never forgets.

TECH BUZZ: The mother and businesswoman from Missouri was indicted today by a federal grand jury in California for creating a fake profile on MySpace specifically to bully 13-year-old Megan Meier, who killed herself as a result. She could face up to 20 years in prison, where we assume that - at best - she’ll only have access to dial-up. Now that’s what we call karma.
