This has been going ’round the internets recently. It probably comes as no surprise that PETA has a blog. What would a modern activist group be if it didn’t have a platform where it could gloat about their last antics and wave a fist at the establishment?
But something seems to have gone amiss, at [...]
There’s a fine line between following someone’s life on Facebook and stalking them. And there is an equally fine line between capturing your thoughts in 140 characters and not being able to pin down your attention span. Where is that line, exactly?

Now that Ology has been using CAPTCHA for some time to combat spammers, we’re fully entitled to make fun of them. While their purpose is to prevent non-humans from doing all sorts of things on the internet, sometimes that filter is pretty mean, or gets damn near impossible to get through. Here’s what I mean:

The IFA 2009 Expo is open in Berlin, and with its myriad of gadgets and entertainment, it attracts a crowd from around the world.
CNET has a great photo tour of the event itself and some of the weird and fun things that go on (a ball playpen? I’m in!) But my favorite is this [...]

“Who is this [...]
If you aren’t familiar with the Cockney rhyming slang (I certainly am not), then understanding it is virtually impossible. But if you’re trying to innovate and be more inclusive, it’s fine to have a local dialect — as ATMs run by Bank Machine are doing in East London over the next few months.
But sausage and [...]
For the true Mac addict who can’t bear to part from their iPhones, here is the iPhone soap. Now you can put your not-so-waterproof phone down and pick up another to scrub your body. And guess what? It’s apple-scented. Clever, guys.

You know how it is getting into a tight parking space. Pull up parallel to the car in front of you, signal in, turn and back into the spot and even out. But that’s almost never how it goes. For the less experienced, parallel parking means backing in and out, in and out, in and [...]
This viral video commercial for MSI’s super-thin laptops makes me wonder who the hell is in their advertising department. The idea is that their laptops are so thin and light that you can chuck them at your friend and he can catch it with his derriere.
