Right now, Twitter is playing a major role in Iran’s revolution. It’s given the protesters a way to expose all of the lies the government has been shoving down their throats. So much breath-taking footage has leaked its way of Iran, and into our hands. It’s been amazing to watch just how [...]

Apple decided to pull a controversial App from the iTunes Store called “Baby Shaker.” This disgusting app invited you to test your patience as a baby cried nonstop, timing how long you could last before losing it. In order to make the baby stop crying, players are supposed to violently shake the iPhone, killing the [...]

Everyone is freaking sick of all of the flame wars surrounding ‘PC vs Mac.’ It’s the same crap time and time again, and Apple and Microsoft sure haven’t been helping with their latest ads. They seem to have done nothing but ad more fuel to this raging inferno of a debate.

In a show of complete intolerance and disregard to civil rights, Proposition 8 won a majority vote and [...]

Recently, it seems like every single page has some kind of ad running through AdSense for Obama. If there’s not one, there’s three. And it’s starting to get annoying. No matter what the article is about, there’s Obama looking back at you, BEGGING you to vote this year.
Usually AdSense scans articles for keywords, and then [...]
