OMGWTFLOL YouTube Comments [Video]
That video of a Lamp Raiden playing the guitar (one of the many clips featured in the video above) is one of my favorite Youtube music clips ever. Be sure to watch it after if you’ve never seen that guy play. [Buzzfeed]
Google finishes volume one of Book Search legal saga
Google has finally settled its legal dispute with publisher groups over its plans to digitize books and make them searchable. But the company is still engaged in legal dispute with authors. The settlement should end a lawsuit filed by five publishing houses in 2005. Previous courtroom deals between the two sides have fallen to legal […]
Facebook Boss Targets Russia
The man who runs Facebook met the man who (on paper at least) runs Russia this week. The 20 minute conversation appears to have explored ways the company can expand its reach into the country without falling foul of government restrictions on free speech. Mark Zuckerberg met with Dmitri Medvedev who is officially known as […]
Featured Sci-Fi Short: Tears of Steel [Video]
This 12-minute short film (which includes the credits) is quite a creative masterpiece.

You can now go to Google and type in any actors name followed by “bacon number” and you will be given the degrees of separation between that actor and Kevin Bacon. Apparently it’s very […]
Kansas City Gung-Ho for Google Gigabit Broadband
I’d like broadband speeds of 1 Gigabit per second. I suspect you’d like 1 Gbps. And it turns out large parts of Kansas City would definitely like 1 Gbps. The difference, sadly for you and I (KC residents excepted), is that we’re not getting it any time soon while the folks of Kansas City will. […]
