    Stop, Thief! Why Using an Ad Blocker Is Stealing

    Adblocker officially lists over 200 million downloads--an impressive amount, to be sure. Assuming that every download is unique, and that every time it is downloaded that it is in use, that means for 7 billion people on the planet, a mere 2.5% don't see ads. "But half the world doesn't have...

    Judge: Clicking 'Like' on Facebook Is Not Protected Speech

    Funny, last time I clicked a button when voting, it counted, but clicking a different button elsewhere doesn't count? Are we really at a point in US law where we will say that some buttons count and others don't?

    Verizon Leak Reveals Android 4.0 ICS Upgrades for May

    Verizon is too busy trying to make sure that it can remove native applications from Android in favor of 'Verizon only' services. There is no financial incentive for them to move onto ICS with any speed. Despite the fact that ICS has been out, that almost all phone manufacturers have...

    iPads (and Other Tablets) are Killing Free Hotel Wi-Fi

    They could just do the easy thing and ban iPads from access on the free system. Sucks to be an Apple user, but if bad apples are spoiling everything else, make them pay for access.

    BB Storm 3 Packs Highest BB Screen Resolution

    The biggest hurdle RIM will face is it's own software. It is sluggish, and very boxed in. If you want applications through just about anyone it's got to be for the iPhone or Android. No one makes exclusive content for the Blackberry--and the moment no one takes notice of your product, no one...

    This just in--Rambus is suing Motorola and Google for copyright violations, stating that they patented exploding phones in 1994. No word from either Google or Motorola on the new lawsuit.

    EU Launches Antitrust Probe into Google Search

    Someone should tell the EU that television programs aired on networks are not allowed to air on other networks! Or that you have to pay a fee to use ATM's at another bank versus your own! Or that an ad company might actually promote more of the ads that are paid for over other ones that are...

    Jack Thompson Cries ''I Win!...Go to Hell'' Regarding Removal of Taliban from Me

    So he wants to ban violent videogames.... Does he realize the scope of the industry that he is trampling on? It doesn't help that he does not define what is 'violent'--technically football is a violent sport with horrendous injuries. He is just a male version of a soccer mom looking to ride a...

    Nintendogs Blamed in Attack on Girl by Real Dog

    Poor kid--at least she came out okay. Good pet owners don't raise (or keep) animals that attack human beings unless trained to do so.

    Lebanon Considers Banning Blackberrys Too

    Thank god that Islam is a solely peaceful religion with aims and aspirations of freedom for their people. I'd be pretty scared if they policed everyone in minute detail--arresting anyone they believed to be less than 100% Islamic and fully supporting the de facto governments of the Middle East...

    The Car Powered by Photosynthesis

    Without clear direction how power is derived from this concept, how the energy is routed and distributed, and how much is actually generated for work to be performed, he might as well have designed a car that runs on the bitter hatred of internet trolls. At least that would be an energy source...

    Anti-IE6 Ads: You Wouldn't Drink Old Milk

    How long until Microsoft issues an update via automatic updates that simply forces IE6 out once and for all?

    RIAA Wants Gov. to Delete Your Illegal Downloads

    Even if you somehow manage to avoid privacy issues... do they really think every business in the US is going to allow sensitive company secrets to be scanned by an outside agency when there is no safeguard as to how this data is stored, monitored, used? And once you bring in the US government...

    Hey, Nokia is Working On a Tablet Too
