GM Files Patent To Make ‘MINORITY REPORT’ Billboards Real. Sort Of.
Our boots crunch as we step on the souls of previously held impossibilities! Like all those wonky ads in Minority Report, and how they were outlandish and ridiculous. Custom-designed for each person? Pah! And yet, here we are.
WATCH: Verge Tech Journalist Is Leaving The INTERNET For A Year. Oh Mon Dieu
Paul Miller is a tech journalist for The Verge who is committing an act beyond comprehension: he is intending to quit the Internet for a year or “maybe forever” – lol, yeah okay on the latter. There’s a pretty neat video capturing the build up to his decision, and more than anything I wish I could be paid to make ridiculous decisions like this.
Facebook Adds ORGAN DONOR Status; Gimme Dat Kidney.
Facebook is adding an organ donor status to their already chock-full list of life details you can spout off for people to stalk over. I’m not certain, but I’m certain this is going to be an organs black market dream.
REDDIT WOMEN Are Stripping For BITCOINS. Nadir x Futurism ++
Look at this convergence of titties and stripping. Women on Reddit are showing puss-flap for a currency that is essentially worthless. If this isn’t someone’s doctoral thesis, I’m claiming it as my own.
CISPA Supporters Claim It’s Harmless; Here’s The Counterargument
I’ve riffed on CISPA before here on the Mothership. The bastard born from the aborted coils of SOPA, it has every intention of ramming us Internet users in the honeypot with barbed intentions. Its proponents (like Facebook) whisper that it’s harmless. Inevitable. The EFF begs to differ.
Dental X-Rays Linked To BRAIN TUMORS. OMFG. Fear ++
As I mow on some jelly beans, I am relishing the fact that I am slowly feeling my teeth rot. It turns out the alternative to my sugar-coated rot-teeth are brain tumors.
IKEA Is Building Its Own LONDON NEIGHBORHOOD. F**king Amazing.
Soon, Ikea will be furnishing the wombs of pregnant women with genetically engineered fetus-beds and womb lightning. It’s going to be goddamn amazing. Until then, we’re going to have to settle for this: a London neighborhood built by those fucking Swedes.
CISPA Is SOPA 2.0: The Corporations Strike Back!
SOPA! It died, but like a Phoenix of douche-mastery, it has risen again in a multitude of forms. Its latest iteration can be found in CISPA. This son of a bitch is an old trick in a new form.
Video: Meet ECCEROBOT, The Humanoid Robot With Muscles And Tendons. Cylons Nod.
All of this has happened before, and there’s a good fucking chance it’ll happen again. Thank you, Matrix, Mass Effect, and Battlestar Galactica for teaching me that. We’re not building robots with muscles and tendons. Jesus Christ, what are we doing.
Arizona Legislature PULLS BACK Electronic Speech Censorship Bill. Trolling Wins!
Last week we all got speaking about the Arizona bill that could land people in jail for trolling, and the slippery slope such a little piece of law could present. The buzz buzzed!, and no the bill is getting pulled back.
