combattant-de-la-liberte:
Maybe the Egyptians, like the Iranians in 1979, simply want a stronger Islamic government, more Sharia law, more intolerance to Christians, Jews and others, more scimitars, turbans, burqas and beards, more screaming fanatics, more chopped-off limbs and heads, more public stonings and hangings, more hate and rage, until the country is awash in adrenaline, B.O., bodies...
In Honor of NBC UNI, Starbucks, and Gap
I’m putting the logo for my start-up, right now, publicly, for the very first time:
What do you think? It’s the Comic Sans Exclamation.
Yes the logo is a joke. Just like the new NBC UNI logo design. Imagine how many thousands of dollars were spent paying for that piece of junk.
“I will designate a new government to step in tomorrow.”
– Mohamed Hosni Sayyid Mubarak, President of Egypt (via soupsoup)
Wait, so the person who runs the oppressive government regime, and whom the citizens of Egypt are demanding the resignation of, is actually saying he is designating a new government to step in tomorrow? Really?
Doesn’t Hosni...

Did US Companies Help Egypt Internet Crackdown? →
Boeing-owned, California-based company Narus sold Telecom Egypt, the state-run Internet service provider, “real-time traffic intelligence” equipment, more commonly known as Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology. DPI is content-filtering technology that allows network managers to inspect, track and target content from Internet users and mobile phones as it passes through routers on...

continuations:
We live in a time of amazing transformation. Nowhere has this been more apparent recently than in Tunisia and Egypt where people are fighting against entrenched regimes and for democracy. In both places the Internet has played a critical role as an organizing, information and documentation tool. So it is not surprising that authorities in Egypt have taken steps to cut off the...

Facebook, Google, Four Square. Who will be the...
I’m going with Four Square at the present time. It’s evident that they are executing better than anyone out there. Now you did say “who will” and if Four Square keeps executing and truly innovates the location-based system then it will continue to be the leader. Google - Google is like Sybil with multiple personalities right now. They have to bring a coherent strategy...

I don’t know if this is a trick question Doc, but I’ll bite.
Everyone in your life benefits. Family, Friends, co-workers. Everyone.

…and we are supposed to be tolerant?
From the article:
“Stoning these two young Afghans by an illegal group without a fair trial is an inhuman and un-Islamic act that can in no way be justified,” he (Afghan President Karzai) said in a statement.
But Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told the BBC that “stoning is in the Koran and that it is Islamic law.”

hipsterlibertarian sent this to me, what do youse guys think? a libertarian/green party alliance?
i think it’s pretty badass, actually.
Me too.
The two major parties clearly aren’t interested in stopping our adventurism and imperialism abroad or civil liberty-killing “security” measures at home. Why shouldn’t those of us who are work together on these...
President Obama, WTF* ?!!
Now, the final critical step in winning the future is to make sure we aren’t buried under a mountain of debt. ~ President Obama’s 2011 SOTU address
President Obama, WTF* ?!! Don’t you realize we and future generations are already buried under a mountain of debt? What is it that you want to make sure about? Do you think someone is joking? Think there is some rounding error...
“Said sandwich wrap was unwholesome and unfit for human consumption in that it...”
– A lawsuit filed by Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich, alleging that the U.S. House of Representatives cafeteria served in a vegetarian sandwich wrap that damaged his teeth. He seeks $150,000 in damages.
Wait… so Kucinich is in effect, suing the U.S. taxpayers?! Isn’t it about time the...

Mom jailed for sending kids to a better school. →
conservativebrew:
An Akron, Ohio mother has recieved 10 days in jail for falsifying her address in order to have her daughters get out of a crime-ridden school district and into a neighboring district in which her father lived. If you ask me, she’s a hero of a mother and an example of why we need school choice via vouchers.
I would add it’s another reason to permanently abolish the Dept...

I didn’t watch Obama’s State of the Union Address last night.
Didn’t need to.
I’ve already heard it.

Let me just offer a little tidbit of President Obama’s speech:
“To reduce barriers to growth and investment, I’ve ordered a review of government regulations.”
President Obama, umm… President Carter established the Regulatory Analysis Review Group in Feb. 1978 and in March of 1978 he issued executive order 12044 to formalize it. (h/t to Cato.org)
So President Obama,...
There's a Reason Mr. President
President Obama - I know you probably have your SOTU speech finalized and all but I wanted to point out to you and Congress the following:
There’s a reason the words “spend” and “invest” are two different words:
Spend: to use up or pay out.
Invest: To put (money) to use, by purchase or expenditure, in something offering potential profitable returns, as interest,...

jayparkinsonmd:
So let me get this straight…a doctor using a computer in a doctor’s office doesn’t significantly influence how their patients live their lives?? It’s absurd that someone would even think that somehow a doctor using a computer encourages people to change their lifestyle and take their health more seriously.
Hey Obama…did you just waste the $20B you’ve appropriated toward giving...
