Microsoft Tries Its Hand at Social Networking, Fails Before It Begins

Published by in tech on December 5th, 2012

Not content to let Google own the least relevant social network, Microsoft has launched a disgustingly named service of its own. Socl (not a typo) is the Windows platform holder’s latest attempt at relevancy in an increasingly Windowless world. Clearly Microsoft is enjoying butting its head against a wall by attempting to take on Facebook

Google is Merging All of Its Services

Published by in tech on November 27th, 2012

In the wake of Google’s first good idea in a long time of combining Google Drive with Gmail attachments, Google has eclipsed this news with the announcement that two other services that no one actually uses will be combined — this time, it’s Google Play and Google+.

46 Years of Star Trek Is The Only Important Thing In The World Today

Published by in tech, tv on September 7th, 2012

Apparently we just celebrate any old anniversary these days. Google redid their logo to celebrate the 46th anniversary of Star Trek and apparently that is a newsworthy event. What’s so special about 46? Did some one forget last year when 45 was upon us? Did they jump the gun on the 50th? And if not,

Today’s Bullshit: Google’s New Algorithm

It seems like we can’t go more than about 20 minutes before we hear that Google is updating their search algorithm. In a move that will simultaneously please its PR department and its advertising department, Google has announced that they are reworking their search algorithm to show copyrighted material in lower positions on the search

Yahoo Unviels Newest Version of Yahoo Toolbar, Internet Goes Ape Shit

Published by in tech on May 24th, 2012

Yahoo Axis just came out and for some reason people actually care about it. It’s simultaneously an app for iPhone and a browser plugin for your real computing needs, and the big gimmick is that it shows you picture displays when you search instead of just a text list of things you’re searching for. You

Bing is Adding Social Media to Searches, Will Kill Us All

Published by in tech on May 12th, 2012

Hey everyone, have you heard that there’s some browser called Bing? It’s new, it’s cool, it’s got all the shit that your boring old Google can’t do! Bing does what Google don’t! At least that’s what Microsoft wants you to think.

Today’s Bullshit: Google Wants To Know Your Email Habits

Fed up with their inability to know literally every detail of every person’s lives, Google has created a new email spy tool that users can opt-in to (for once). Presented under the guise of allowing users to know details about their emailing habits, this so called “Google Meter” will really just store the information of

Today’s Bullshit: Google’s New Privacy Policy

If you’ve been watching this site or just reading up on any sort of tech news lately, you’ve no doubt noticed that Google and Facebook are in an eternal struggle for control of the internet. They’ve been rapidly updating their site designs as well as their policies in order to out do each other, but

Google’s Personal Results Create an Insular Internet Cut Off From Society at Large

Published by in tech on January 19th, 2012

The idea is simple: search what your friends search, see what your friends see. Want to know what your friends are saying about topics you are looking for? See it right there in the search. Sounds great, eh?

The Fuck is Up W/ The Internet Today?

The fuck, man? What’s wrong with the internet? Every site I go to is taken over by black bars and shit about Congress. The fuck’s a Congress? I don’t even get it. Shit man, I can’t even Google for some pics of tittayz without all of this censorshit on my screen.

The Internet On Strike

Almost the entire internet will shut down in protest of the SOPA and PIPA bills currently in congress today, most from the hours of 8am to 8pm. Wikipedia feels so strongly about this that they have decided to shut down the English version of the site for a full 24 hours. Since the majority of

Facebook: Zuck My Timeline

Published by in tech on December 15th, 2011

In the never ending war for the spot of Top Site On the Internet, Facebook is finally forcing everyone to convert to their new Timeline bullshit. You know how this works: it’s the same old website you’re used to except everything is arbitrarily moved around and looks different, just to fuck with you.

Google, Please Stop Your Incessant Updating

Enough is enough, Google.

Review: Google Music

Developer: Google Type: Cloud-Based Music Platform Success: ??? I listen to a lot of music. Or at least I used to before I had so much of it that carrying around hundreds of CDs or an externa hard drive (or even a separate device dedicated to music such as an iPod) became cumbersome for me.
