Massive boycott prompts GoDaddy to change its stance on SOPA bill

GoDaddy.com, the domain name provider that isn’t exactly looked very highly upon in the industry, is not having a good week. I’m assuming you’re familiar with SOPA, the anti-internet bill that has been making headlines lately. If you’re not, then you can freshen up by watching this guy’s video. It all really means that depending on the circumstances, the copyright holders can stop search engines from linking to those sites, or even worse, require internet service providers to block access to them completely. The bill also would make unauthorized streaming of copyrighted content a felony. This has put GoDaddy in hot water due to their stance on the bill. — More after the break!

Dude proposes using the finest of memes like a boss, success kid is proud -- (Video)

You wish you could be this smooth! Dude’s obviously a nerd, he’s got a hot girlfriend (now fiancée), and with the help of friends, used glossy paper to print out memes frequently seen on Reddit to propose, and quite romantically we might add! And somehow, despite all the odds, as this video goes to show, even nerds can be romantic saps who can make hot asian girls cry.

"Is your son a computer hacker?" Classic TechTV moment -- (video)

Where have the days gone? TechTV was a critical part of me becoming the geek-centered person I am today, and watching the Screen Savers nightly at 9PM before heading to bed for the night, mind you I was in middle school, was one of the greatest television programs to ever grace cable airwaves. Now bask in the glory that is Martin Sargent (and no, the old lady set as his Twitter avatar is not him). 

How website speed affects traffic and revenue - Infographic

When building a website, one of the hardest things is trying to squeeze as much out of it, while at the same time keeping a small footprint. Every image, script, letter, icon, video and CSS file has to travel through wires across the globe to the user in a few seconds, and less time it takes the better. As the amount of time it takes for your site to load, the amount of people that leave increases exponentially. The following infographic is a good example as to why some sites perform well, and others don’t do so hot.

How social media is ruining our minds -- (Infographic)

I’ve noticed that ever since I got a smartphone, whenever I have a spare minute, I occasionally check the various social outlets; namely Twitter. Before heading to bed I’ll navigate through twitter one last time to make sure I haven’t missed the latest breaking story — it’s happened before. And the first thing I do in the morning? Yep, you’ve guessed it. . This definitely can’t be good for my health, and this infographic tells me all about it. — More after the break!

Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones reunite in Men in Black 3 -- (Trailer)

It’s hard to believe it’s been 14 years since the release of the firb MiB movie. Heck, I still remember me and my brothers dressing up in black suits and sunglasses thinking we were the hottest kids on the block dancing to the official music video. Yeah, even then we were huge nerds. Well, anyway… next year we got another Men in Black lined up, which if this trailer is any indication, looks to be a whole lot better than its first sequel. Oh, and did I mention time travel involving Josh Brolin playing a young Agent K?
