As the world increasingly becomes a smaller place through the internet and social media, so too do the dangers of the internet and social media increase exponentially.
After all, the more strangers that are crammed together in cyberspace, the more likely you are to be crammed together with malicious agents. Continue reading “Google Competitor Reaches 29 Million Searches a Day, Won’t Store Private Info or Bombard You With Ads”

Put eight hours in on it today. Have to stop so I can look at it anew in the morning. But after a slug of whiskey, a puff off my pipe, a circuit involuntarily kicked in, which caused me to wonder if there could be an epiphany afoot.
Guess what? The voter rolls and voter registration cards have all the names in written capital letters. That means every vote cast is cast by the straw man corporation. Corporate consent does not equate to the consent of the governed, as the corporation is doing the governing. Continue reading “Trencher Alert”

You can see a video of the incident below. While the initial interaction takes place just outside the camera’s field of vision, Allen has said the guard struck her over her left eye with his fist, sending her falling into the sidewalk.

For several years now cable and broadband providers have been using hidden fees to covertly jack up their advertised rates. These fees, which utilize a rotating crop of bullshit names, help these companies falsely advertise one rate, then sock the consumer with a significantly higher-rate post sale (often when locked into a long-term contract). The practice also allows the company to falsely claim they’re not raising rates on consumers. They omit that they’re talking about the above the line rate being charged, implying that anything below the line (where real fees like taxes are levied) is outside of their control.

A new Stephen Hawking book is out Tuesday, and the late physicist issues a warning in it that sounds straight out of a dystopian sci-fi movie. Hawking worries that genetic editing will allow the rich to turn themselves into “superhumans” who will eventually dominate the world and perhaps the universe, reports the Guardian. “Once such superhumans appear, there will be significant political problems with unimproved humans, who won’t be able to compete,” warns Hawking in Brief Answers to the Big Questions, as excerpted in London’s Sunday Times.
