Why normal people don't care if the internet is tiered

When you think about it, all of these desperate cries for action written by blogs, warning us about the crumbling state of net neutrality have been un-heard by “normal people”. When I say “normal people”, I’m talking about the people that don’t eat and sleep at their computers, or know the difference between a DROID X and DROID 2 — I’m talking about your Mom, Sister and friends that haven’t been blessed with the passion for computers and gadgets.

Gold Wii Classic Controller Pro made for GoldenEye 007 Fans

We thought playing GoldenEye 007 on a Wii was the worst way to play an FPS until now. A golden Wii Classic Controller Pro? Seriously Nintendo, couldn’t you have made something to compete with the current-gen consoles on the market? Complaints aside, here’s what this product is all about: a bundle costing $70 will include the controller and a “Classic Edition” of the Wii game when it launches later this year.

A recent Facebook exploit has surfaced revealing everyone’s full name, profile picture and dignity. Right now, Facebook’s login system allows hackers to use a sneaky method in which they index random email adresses, and pick out the first and last names from the contact information. Then they brute force through Facebook’s login exploit to match the user info with the corresponding email address, even when users have configured their accounts to make that information private.

Google's left over debris from their belief in Net Neutrality

“Advocates of net neutrality will look at these documents and charge betrayal. Opponents will cheer a powerful company coming to its senses. Scholars will have to decide whether this week saw one of the most remarkable volte-faces in telecommunications policy history.” — Ars Technica
