Infographic: Facebook’s Wall of Shame

Banks Are Reading Your Very Boring Twitter Feeds

Just a few days ago, hackers shut down Bank of America, and we couldn’t be more pleased. I mean, really — a $5 surcharge every time you use your debit card? That’s just ridiculous. But maybe the hackers should go several steps further and investigate who’s going to be at the top of the list of FBI-style offenders when it [...]

Breaking: Occupy Philly Deets

Tek Lado Rant: Letter to Facebook

Hey Facebook, Come on. Just stop it. The constant big and small changes need to stop. At this point, you’re like an insecure girl in high school: you’re trying to compete with the new girl Google Plus even though you’re super popular, just because you feel threatened.

World’s Most Famous Geek No Longer a Geek?

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s CEO, has always been regarded as a geek extraordinaire. If The Social Network did nothing else, it cemented Zuckerberg’s geek status–in part because it showed him writing code like a maniac nerd with an HTML hard-on. Now a former Facebook intern, Feross Aboukhadijeh, is telling tales out of school, one of which is that Zuckerberg can no [...]
