Several months ago we passed judgment on "conscious" rapper Common—he's fundamentally a tool. Not for his music, which is cool enough, but because he merrily goes around selling himself as a pitchman for everything from Smirnoff to GAP, while simultaneously yapping on and on about his true devotion to hip hop and love and art and The Corner and acting like these "brand partnerships" somehow represent something deeper than just a paycheck. It's incredibly grating. ...

cc: All artworks by M Domondon. Digg, formerly known as user driven social news has shown it’s true nature recently: Banning some of their most valuable and active users. They did not solely ban the spammers or those who harm Digg, they banned some of the best social media users along with hundreds of others who contributed diligently. Last time, when zaibatsu, Digg top user #3 was banned for a reason that “barely” made sense ...

Az EU Bizottsága szeptember 29-én egy remek, látszólag 13, valójában nyolcoldalas bullshitgyűjteményt (pdf) adott ki az Internet jövőjéről. A dokumentumból két dolog nyilvánvaló: egyfelől koherens elképzelésük még mindig nincsen a cuccal kapcsolatban, a másik, hogy eltökéltek a netes szocializmus szociáldemokratizmus alapjainak a lerakása mellett is.Négy fő trendet emelnek ki, egyrészt a web2.0 további terjedését, amelyet a kapcsolati hálókon és a 'Szolgáltatások Internetjén' keresztül szeretnének megragadni, na meg a nálam abszolút bullshit-aranyérmes 'Enterprise 2.0-n' (ez nagyjából ...

New Scientist today is summarzing the world of political spin detection software—behavioral scientist Paul Ekman claims he can analyze a speech's text for words that indicate untruths and deception. Others look to analyze the tenor of the voice, and facial recognition to spot lies is becoming more of a reality. But unfortunately, much of the bullshit detector tech here seems like it may be drowning a bit in the selfsame goo. I'm tempted, nay, inclined ...

Suicide by frozi. I’m shocked! Not only do bloggers waste time with meta tags although most of them are worthless for Google, bloggers hurt themselves using meta tags. It does not get better it seems it gets worse. Lately more and more people commit Google suicide by adding “privacy” to their blogs. I’m all for privacy but if you blog you blog for people to read your blog so in most cases you do not ...

Barack Obama's reference to 'lipstick on a pig' has Republicans demanding an apology … McCain's campaign said Obama's remarks were offensive and a slap at Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin — despite the fact that the Arizona senator himself used the phrase last year to describe a policy proposal of Hillary Clinton's. … In Iowa last October, McCain drew comparisons between Hillary ...

Some days I feel like there is no way that we can cure the world of stupidity. Though I'm generally optimistic and hopeful, some things are just too much. Take this article for instance. Apparently there has been a five year study by a UGC (University Grants Commission) thanks to a Rs. 32 lakh grant, which has concluded that: Planetary positions may have a strong influence on people’s health. Apparently the project is studying the ...

Some little assholes used Digg and Wikipedia to spread the lie that teen actress Miley Cyrus had died in a car accident last night caused by "an unidentified black man"—and Yahoo News picked up the story. The hoax was short-lived, thank God. By this morning, it was hard to tell who, if anyone—aside from Yahoo—actually fell for it. One of the only mentions of it as anything but a scam seems to be this retarded ...

While we're on the subject of "Tech Toys," did you see an Alabama woman is suing Apple for claiming its latest iPhone offers 3G connectivity when she can't get connected most of the time, despite AT&T having decent coverage where she lives. To be fair (what, me being fucking fair!!!) Apple's problems aren't unique. Lots of 3G phones have poor performance, particularly, the first ones out... Which is why it's fucking stupid to wait outside ...

The big headline, “OBAMA THE ANTICHRIST?” along with the subhed claiming that this is a real “debate” online and thousands of other images of ANTICHRIST ANTICHRIST EVIL SATAN were very necessary for the viewers watching said debunking.
