Morning Crush: Customers Change GoDaddy’s SOPA Position

GoDaddy has long been king of kings of domain registrars, and even when CEO Bob Parsons shot an elephant and crowed about it on video, most non-PETA-affiliated users didn’t flee. But when GoDaddy trumpeted its support of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), users took notice. SOPA was proposed by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), who probably has a lot in [...]

Infographic: It’s Not About Facebook

Wile Mashable is showing infographics about holiday travel (fucking boring), and other websites are reporting about the most popular holiday gift tweets, or why people are unfriending on Facebook (who gives a fuck). Instead, we’re going to show you an infographic about 48 years of Doctor Who awesomeness. This colorful and comprehensive infographic gives us a complete timeline of the [...]

Majel, is Google’s Response to Apple’s Siri

Apple’s Siri is going to have competition. Google engineers are hard at work on a voice-activated assistant. Google is apparently calling the system “Majel,” after Majel Barrett, the voice for Star Trek’s interactive computer.

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.

Facebook’s Suit Against Timelines.com Is Shameful

I feel sorry for Timelines.com, which is a cool site that allows users to post information about a historical event so that the site encompasses many years of history. 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 [...]
