Fucking Dumbass Still Speeding

You really have to be fucking dumb. That’s the only words for someone who survives a wreck caused by speeding, distracted driving, and exacerbated by lack of a seatbelt, only to leave the hospital after his recuperation and then again be riding well above the speed limit…

Today, after his brief comments, Mr. Corzine got [...]

Words for the bulletin board…

Apparently Ballmer isn’t a sports fan because if he was, he’d know how unabashedly stupid it is to give your opponents bulletin board material…

There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance. It’s a $500 subsidized item. They may make a lot of money. But if you actually [...]

I still have next to no voice…

Ya know, I missed a lot of cool shit that went on this weekend with this stupid cold. I mean, I had to go shopping and all, but if you listened to Friday’s podcast, you can hear me coughing up a lung and losing my voice as the show went on…

I know this probably [...]

Information Salad #40 with Special Guest Tim Westergren

We were very honored last night that Tim Westergren took time out of his unbelievably busy schedule to talk to us about the Copyright Review Board and their process, what Pandora is, and all the recent issues surrounding internet radio.

When we were done, Tim even helped us to understand something that we tried to but [...]

7/7 Mastermind Caught

The al-Qaeda leader who is thought to have devised the plan for the July 7 suicide bombings in London and an array of terrorist plots against Britain has been captured by the Americans.

Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi, a former major in Saddam Hussein’s army, was apprehended as he tried to enter Iraq from Iran and was transferred [...]

WSJ: Hanging out in Verizon’s Pocket

Okay, this one is a damn classic. Paul Kapustka from GigaOM seems to have caught the WSJ red-handed in a bit of shadiness. On Friday, Vonage ran an ad slamming Verizon in its patent case. The ad, according to Kapustka, had what looked like a sharpie line through it. Closer examination [...]

Not Everything He Touches Turns to Gold

Ken Kutaragi is leaving Sony after flopping flat on his face with the PS3:

The architect of Sony Corp.’s PlayStation, Ken Kutaragi, will step down on June 19, at a time when the Japanese company is fighting to reassert its lead in the video game market.
ADVERTISEMENT

Known as the “Father of PlayStation,” Kutaragi, 56, took a lead [...]

Cam’ron is a chicken shit. He said so himself…

Chicken shit punk…

In a statement, Cam’ron tried to explain what he said, “Where I come from, once word gets out that you’ve cooperated with the police that only makes you a bigger target of criminal violence. That is a dark reality in so many neighborhoods like mine across America. I’m not saying it’s right, but [...]

Yet another reason not to vote for Rudy…

As if you needed one…

I’ve always said that very few politicians hold any value strongly enough to allow it to stand in the face of not getting a party nomination or winning an election. Rudy Giuliani, the principled superhero of 9/11 fame is no exception. Apparently, his former socially liberal position on gay [...]

NYPD Pulls More Scumbag Moves

Entrapment, anyone?

NY1 has learned that charges have been dropped against a man arrested for picking up a bag police planted on the subway, but the NYPD says it will not suspend its controversial Lucky Bag sting operation.

The sting operation is set to arrest people who take property that seems to have been abandoned or forgotten.

AOL Innovates

AOL must’ve gone to the Microsoft School of Innovation (click to embiggen)…

It amazes me that they continue to do this with a straight face.

He’s the best. Period.

There’s a reason that Mayor Bloomberg is the best Mayor this city has ever had. Here’s another one for you…

While there’s a projected surplus for this year, Bloomberg is going to use the extra money to pay down expected future debt. $1.3 billion is going towards the projected $1.6 billion deficit in 2009 and [...]

Wanna pull your hair out? SURE YOU DO!

Consumerist had a call that a customer made to HP. It was one in a series of calls.

Take a listen and tell me if, in your mind, this call doesn’t exemplify everything that’s wrong with customer service at every PC manufacturer, I don’t know what does.

Oh, and you’ll notice I said PC manufacturers. [...]
