The Men Who Stole the World →

danielholter: azspot: A decade ago, four young men changed the way the world works. They did this not with laws or guns or money but with software: they had radical, disruptive ideas, which they turned into code, which they released on the Internet for free. These four men, not one of whom finished college, laid the foundations for much of the digital-media environment we currently inhabit....

atomcomedy: Hey, look. A hot woman is inexplicably in love with Woody Allen. And he’s complaining. And he loves New York. Dan Meth’s animation is part send-up, part tribute, all funny—in that nebbish, bespectacled, self-effacing kind of way.

Anonymous asked: Hello! I'm a follower of your blog, and I suppose you can call me a paranoid or uptight jerk too after what I'm about to address. Just so my fellow followers know, the quote about the Texan governor preferring what's sometimes called "the King's English" dates back to the late nineteenth century, which reflects a starkly different era in terms of religious sentiment...

justamanandhisblog asked: Maybe it is just because of the Hitchens debate, but there seems to have been a lot of anti-religious content on your blog recently. Is that a trend we can expect to continue? I know I am in the minority as a liberal with a post-graduate degree who is religious, but I don't need to be made to feel that way every time I turn my computer on. Thanks.

Top 10 revelations from WikiLeaks cables

1. Many Middle Eastern nations are far more concerned about Iran’s nuclear program than they’ve publicly admitted. According to one cable, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has repeatedly asked the U.S. to “cut off the head of the snake” — meaning, it appears, to bomb Iran’s nuclear program. Leaders of Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and other Middle...

James Franco and Anne Hathaway to host the Oscars? →

thegreg: I’ve really liked the non-traditional hosts they have been tapping in recent years, and I think these two would be great… This may very well be a fine choice but I am convinced that Stephen Colbert should get a shot. He’s obviously very funny (not breaking news there) but he is also quick enough to ad-lib. Plus, award shows always ask hosts to do funny dance routines. Colbert is...
