Giving Porn a Bad Name

Who suspected those nice pronographers would ever do something as underhanded as this? And to FaceBook? This is not MySpace, Buster, so take your feely cracking elsewhere.

Seriously, this for-profit hacking is not hacking at all. What do we learn from their efforts to break in? Only that people are greedy and greedy people suck. Teh loosers.

Chupacabra Ad Servers

It’s been a few minutes since my last Conspiracy Theory posts, so I naturally couldn’t resist this bit of the news.

Honest to Google, the first thing I thought was “Wow, who would benefit from making ad serving so dangerous? Now, webmasters will have to go through ‘highly trusted’ ad servers like those Google could provide … Wait a minute!”

Now before you think I’ve finally gone the way of the UFO abductionists, think about the Big G’s latest bitch slap to every site that dared to run text link ads that were not Google’s. I say if it walks like a Chupacabra and sucks blood like a Chupacabra, it’s a Chupacabra.

OLPC Rocks

Now if this doesn’t get you behind the One Laptop Per Child program you’re extremely cold-hearted and evil and/or you work for Microsoft, Google or the RIAA.

Look at those faces. Man, the world just opened up for those kids and they’ll even see their own little chunk of it in a different light. This is one of the coolest projects of the millennium.

Call On Google

Why do I not trust this? Why must I be so cynical?

Oh. Right. It’s Google. Well, at least we know they’ll never use this for evil. What would be the benefit of that?

Oh. Right. It’s Google. I’ve had to create a new blog category for them. See if you can guess which one it is …
