Google Donates $40 Million to World and Bay Area

Google decided to give an early Christmas present to … the world? The company is giving $40 million to organizations for causes such as fighting slavery, strengthening education and making technology more available. It’s a very impressive and admirable feat for Google to help others and have a positive impact outside of their company’s products. Normally I’d have some joke [...]

Infographic: Is Social Media Ruining Everything?

Do you wake up and the first thing you do is check Facebook? What the fuck is wrong with you? Social Media is what’s fucking wrong with you.

Shigeru Miyamo-Nooooo!

In news that will make me feel a little old, the revered Shigeru Miyamoto will be stepping down at Nintendo to take a smaller role. He’ll still be involved with the company, but not as involved.

The home page opens to This Week in History and you can search by topic (assassinations) or by date. On my exact birthday, for instance, Dr. Seuss got married. On my [...]

Google+ Spot Airs on Thanksgiving Day, Changing Millions of Minds About It

Well, at least the first part is true: According to TechCruch, the below ad ran during the Lions-Packers game, which I would confirm for you if I gave a shit even remotely about sports. The ad seems pretty lackluster for the folks who’d be watching TV at that time; are rowdy football fans really going to get pumped about the [...]
