Using SMART PHONES To Pay For Things Could Dominate Cash and Credit Cards by 2012. Sounds Good.
The only thing I seemingly don’t use my smart phone for is to get my rocks off, and that’s only because I’m waiting for my fleshlight attachment to come in the mail. A study is showing that smart phones could supplant credit cards and cash as the dominant way of paying for sheezy out in the real world, and I welcome it.

Video: T-MOBILE Girl Stuffed Into LEATHER; My Fetish Monster Rises
Yeah, I don’t know what’s going on with this advertisement. I know that they’re further sexualizing the already sexy in an innocent way T-Mobile girl. I know I should probably be uncool with that. I don’t care. Latex. Leather. Pleather. Whatever. Once you strap it on, I lose my cool.

Strange Moments in Solid Movies: Warriors, Come Out to Play Ball
Every once in a while, a movie comes along that is championed by a select group of moviegoers, esteemed when most others find it less worthy of reverence. In turn, this group becomes its own little cinematic subculture, one that admires the movie, defending it from outside bashing because it is their own. It both defines the subculture and brings definition to the moviegoers themselves, showing what turns them on, what differentiates their predilections from more popular and/or commercial tastes. If others don’t get what they get out of the movie, then those others should just get out. And, finally, when this line is drawn in the sand, the cult movie is truly born. Walter Hill’s cult classic The Warrior is a prime example of this phenomenon because not only is there a fervent community out there willing to protect it, but the movie itself exhibits an us-against-the-world mentality similar to that of any cult-movie community, ever ready to defend their home turf. And watch out world: yours truly is here to throw down (think West Side Story, but with even more ruthless finger-snapping).

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.
