Internet Addiction

A recent edi­to­r­ial in the lat­est issue of the Amer­i­can Jour­nal of Psy­chi­a­try enti­tled “Issues for DSM-V: Inter­net Addic­tion” posits that Inter­net Addic­tion should be treated as a Men­tal Dis­or­der.

Radiohead offering was insincere

Reznor: Radio­head offer­ing was insin­cere, indus­try is inept. “…if you look at what they did, though, it was very much a bait and switch to get you to pay for a MySpace-quality stream as a way to pro­mote a very tra­di­tional record sale.”

Baby Names 2.0

Baby Names inspired by text mes­sag­ing, Web 2.0 I guess I should have named my son Tai’lr, Tailur, Tylr or some vari­a­tion thereof. I’m down with indi­vid­u­al­ity and what­not, but peo­ple are going to have prob­lems 1) pro­nounc­ing these names; and 2) spelling them.

gArchiver

gArchiver: What hap­pened? Yeah, and mon­keys might fly out of my butt. The les­son to be learned from this deba­cle? Don’t install third-party apps with reck­less aban­don. Sure, they might look great on the sur­face, but they could put your pri­vate data at risk with­out you even realizing it.
