Sirius and XM Merger?
I heard about it last night and it angers me.
I’m not sure what all of the hype is about since none of this is official (i.e. has not been approved). It still has to be approved, making it a huge monopoly if approved and making things interesting. So that doesn’t mean this [...]

Recently on my other site (which attracts a few visitors here and there) The Dangers Of MySpace, I noticed a new account. No one has ever registered for this site and I have since taken down [...]

Google, YouTube, the Downfall, and Questions
So, Google acquired YouTube a few weeks ago. That’s great and all. I’m kind of tired of the comments on numerous web boards that say “YouTube sucks now that Google bought it” or “YouTube is dead”, etc. Of course those users never give any reason as to what has changed on the [...]

Girl Questioned After Threatening President
Girl Threatens to ‘Kill Bush’ on MySpace.
OK, so I’m a little disturbed by this story and the amount of idiots in the world (not that I didn’t know that there are a lot of idiots in the world but they’ve seemingly all come out of hiding today. I was scrounging around Digg today and [...]
