Kevin Rose joins Dribbble - We're all doomed!If you don’t know what Dribbble is, its a place for designers and creatives alike to share and explore each others work, and get some inspiration. I was drafted by @squaregirl a couple days ago, and I’m loving it.
Dribbble is still a small, invite only community, but now that Kevin Rose has joined (who has over 1 million followers on Twitter) and is an angel investor, this could be the breakout point for Dribbble. Check out Kevin Rose on Dribbble (and me too!)

Video - Mark Zuckerberg talking privacy at D8
Video - Mark Zuckerberg talking privacy at D8
You can literally see the sweat running off his face like a waterfall.
Poor Zuckerberg sitting there in his chair, babbling on about the internet becoming more “people” oriented, and not managing to give us any real answers. I like what Molly Wood said on Buzz Out Loud last week - “They need a grown-up running Facebook for god sakes!” and even though it was all in good humor, there is a real point there - Read more

Time Warner Cable is the ISP for Internet Pirates
I had Time Warner Cable for about half a year or so when I lived in SoCal, and y’know what I learned during my time with them? I discovered they were quite lax in their practice of sending out warnings for copyright infringements due to illegally downloading files via torrents or any other manner. How would I know this? Oh, you know… But anyway, apparently this isn’t just an insider secret anymore, because according to reports found by ArsTechnica, “[Time Warner Cable] is a good ISP for copyright infringers.”

The Evolution of Privacy on Facebook
The Evolution of Privacy on Facebook
As we all know, Facebook has failed time and time again when it comes to privacy. Heck, recently they started deleting users posts!
I have now come to realize that people are missing the big picture, and by that I mean the “timeline” of Facebook’s privacy. I recently found this very interesting visualization, depicting the changes to Facebook’s privacy policy’s over the past 5 years, and it is a real eye opener - Check it out

Video - 4chan creator's TED talk finally gets posted
Video - 4chan creator's TED talk finally gets posted
We wrote an article a while back when Christopher Poole, otherwise known as moot of 4chan, was invited to give a talk at a TED conference.
At the time TED hadn’t given permission to allow the bootlegged, low quality Youtube versions of the talk, so we had to wait for them to finally upload it themselves. Well, finally they’ve put up the official video in all its high quality glory, and we’ve updated the original story’s page as well - See it HERE

Using Google to Undermine Bing and Blackmail Steve Ballmer's Family
When Bing came along everyone was so up in arms about how much it sucked - and yet Steve Ballmer stood by it faithfully. Well now someone hates him and is trying to kidnap his wife and blackmail him. This is a video by Landline TV and it is absolutely genius.
It shows us organic Google search results that start from innocent searches like “Bing Search Engine”, and eventually elevates to “How to kidnap someone”. Try the searches yourself, I dare you!
Watch it over and over again to pick up all the little details in the searches…
