A new computer program has been designed to help solve divorce disputes, reports MSNBC. The original program, "Family Winner", is software that asks the husband and wife to "rate" items by assigning points to them. For instance, the wife may assign 30 points to the car while the husband assigns 20 — indicating that the car is more of a priority for the wife. "Family Mediator", however, is a new version that takes third parties, like kids, into consideration. While we're sure that these programs are helping families otherwise torn apart, there's already software in which a woman scrambles to acquire all of her husband's stuff — albeit while being chased by ghosts. It's called Ms. PacMan! [MSNBC]
