Is MySpace going down the pooper? Mashable is reporting that Facebook took in 100,000 more new registered users than MySpace in August. So is MySpace f*cked? Well, no, this doesn’t mean anything bad for MySpace, this is just further evidence that Facebook is right behind Google in their quest for world dominance.
Video games no longer indirectly cause people to kill other people, video games are now the actual killer of people.
Yesterday, a man in China decided to go to an Internet cafe and play video games, for THREE DAYS STRAIGHT! CNN is reporting that he died from exhaustion, brought on by "too many hours on the Internet."
In China, the Internet is the new SARS.
We sensed this one coming for a while… amidst all the rumors throughout the past few months.
Time, Inc.’s magazine Business 2.0 is closing next week, after its October issue comes out.
I have literally had a Business 2.0 subscription card filled out for the past 2 months, and the only reason I never mailed it out was because I have been too lazy to write the check. Phew!
Remember the Palm Foleo? Well, you can now forget about it. Just months after its introduction, it has been canceled.
The gadget was riddled with bugs and and the company would rather concentrate all of its attention on its Treo line or cell phones (good news for me, since two days don’t go by where I haven’t been this close to throwing my Treo 750 against a wall).
Jennifer Walcott, the girlfriend of Chicago Bear’s white defender Adam Archuleta, has had a MySpace stalker quite some time (I know, I know, MySpace, stalking, who would’ve thunk?). But yeah, here are some of the messages that he sent to her via MySpace:
“WHEN I FIND OUT WHERE YOU LIVE IM GONNA GET YOU, THIS IS BARELY THE BEGINNING, THIS ISN’T OVER,” he wrote in one note, prosecutors said.
In another, Diaz allegedly tells Walcott she better learn how to protect herself.
“TIME FOR YOU TO SUFFER, LEARN HOW TO FIGHT WHITE GIRL BECAUSE WHEN WE FIND OUT WHERE YOU LIVE WERE GONNA GET YOU AND THE REST OF YOU PIGS” he wrote, according to prosecutors.
Psyyyyychoooooo.
Effin’ A though, props to Archuleta. Being a white football player rocks!
I think after this story, I am going to officially close down TechF*cked.com, because nothing will ever get funnier than this. Apparently, on one of the various fake celebrity blogs, a fake Al Sharpton made a post in response to the Michael Vick commotion. MSNBC found the blurb and quoted it as being from Al Sharpton’s very own mouth. Here is the fake Al Sharpton’s quote:
Consider this: If the police caught Brett Favre running a dolphin-fighting ring out of his pool, where dolphins with spears attached to their foreheads fought each other to the death, would they bust him? Of course not. They would get his autograph, commend him on his tightly-spiraled forward passes, then bet on one of his dolphins.
Here is the correction on MSNBC’s website:
An earlier version of this article quoted from a blog entry purportedly by the Rev. Al Sharpton. MSNBC.com has determined that the blog is a hoax. In July, Sharpton signed a letter with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals condemning dogfighting, saying: “Dogfighting is unacceptable. Hurting animals for human pleasure or gain is despicable. Cruelty is just plain wrong.”
Brett Favre… dolphin fighting ring… no red flags went up? Ha!
Ok, well maybe the title is a bit deceiving, we don’t have the secret. But all that you need to know is that a New Jersey teenager has unlocked an iPhone, and it’s for sale on eBay ($40k+ at the time of this post).
What does this mean?
Well, now that it has been done once, it will ‘easily’ be replicated, and soon enough, anyone with a sim card will be able to share in the enjoyment of those who currently have ATT.
…and is a moron. Perhaps I’m taking this statement out of context, but I can’t imagine what context this could be placed in for it to make sense. Not everyone can create such enthralling (yawn) websites as Broadcast.com, but what does Cuban expect?
The past two years have seen the biggest growth (economically and creatively) in Internet history. With web 2.0 social networking of the past and current times, and on the verge of web 3.0 (whatever that may be), one cannot logically believe that the Internet truly is boring.
I used to respect Mark Cuban, but he’s turned into an idiot (not to mention how old his whining to the media regarding the Dallas Mavericks). Just go away.
The mayor of Atlanta, in an attempt to rid the city of child predators, has asked Craigslist to remove sex ads from the website. I’m not sure if there is a correlation between men attempting to have legit sexual relations with an adult woman (albeit… a hooker) and child predators. But that’s how it goes…
Last month, MySpace removed some tens of thousands of sex predator profiles from its site, and now with this news circulating around Craigslist, I wonder ‘What’s a child predator to do!?’
