Halo Reach Leaked Online – Live Stream Available

Halo Reach Leaked Online – Live Stream Available

CVG is reporting that as of this evening Halo Reach, the entire game, has been leaked online about 3 weeks before the official release date; September 14th.
Apparently NeoGAF’ers were some of the first to notice the leak when hackers (modders from the GameTuts community) circumvented the press access-wall that Microsoft had setup on Xbox.com for them [...]

Leo Laporte is Done With Social Media

Leo Laporte recently wrote on his blog about how a technical hickup with Google Buzz not reposting his info to Twitter for a month and no one noticing made him realize that this torrent of “social” apps that we are buried in are a complete waste of time.
I should have been posting it here all [...]

Foursquare and Gowalla iPhone Apps Sending Passwords in Plaintext

Martin Kou did some Wireshark’ing this morning on the Foursquare iPhone application and found out it is logging you in to Foursquare by sending your password in plaintext over the wire.
Foursquare replied and said they are rolling out an HTTPS authentication-based login today which is good news, but seriously, 1 million users later and how [...]

A Compelling Message From a Diehard GHOST HUNTERS Fan!

You’ve all read my posts.  I’m not hiding any big secrets about thinking that PERHAPS certain shows pad, recreate, or even weave from whole cloth their “results.”  Understandably, such a forward-thinking, against-the-grain set of opinions are bound to get you locked into many a pissing contest and, judging by the nearly 400 responses on my original [...]

You’re Ugly and Your Drama Dresses You Funny.

Of course, I am talking about PARA drama.
For the uninitiated, para drama is a stupid term invented to define an even stupider thing.  That stupid thing being the ridiculously disproportionate amount of infighting, backstabbing, trickery, chicanery, and downright lying that members of a so-called “paranormal community” commit towards each other with more regularity than a [...]

Citi Announces "No Balance" Penalty for Card Holders

Thanks to Todd Swarthout for the heads up on this one. In a world where logic is dictated by the guy with the biggest bank account balance, Citi has started notifying card-holders that if they spend less than $2400/year they will be charged a $60 yearly “service fee” in order for Citi to cover it’s “rising [...]

My Experience with HTC Nexus One Support was Mediocre

Disclaimer: This is a re-telling of my experience with HTC Nexus One support on February 8, 2010 from 9am through 10:30am. I wanted to relay my experience so any potential Nexus One shoppers out there may get an idea of their own experience-to-be if they run into trouble.
I bought a Nexus One 2 weeks ago. [...]

Goodwill Hunting

One of the best parts of thrifting, aside from finding fabulously valuable merchandise that you can flip on Ebay, are the small windows that open, allowing a deliciously voyeuristic glimpse into humanity.  Take Cynthia, for example, who probably didn’t even realize that she tucked these important papers into the book she was reading in the [...]

Thus Concludes Another Year…

And I have absolutely nothing to write about.  
I have no lists to compile, I have no great sense of accomplishment or closure, I am just going to wake up tomorrow and it will be January, 2010.
Why this overwhelming sense of ennui? 
I have no idea.  Maybe it’s because of all the drama in 2009.  Maybe it’s [...]

Costco Wants You to See in HD This Holiday Season

I was at Costco today doing some shopping and came across the gem pictured above — what they were missing was a “Stop seeing your life in standard def!”
This is what happens when you give marketing people carte-blanche and they decide they are going to rape everyone that is 50 and older with a phrase/term [...]

More Proof Women Like Assholes or Edward Cullen Is a Douche

Before we get to this I have to issue a disclaimer/warning. The following article will feature spoilers of major plot points in the Twilight Series and will do so with a level of contempt previously unheard of outside of the average review for a Michael Bay film. If you don’t want to have things [...]

Even South Park Thinks T.A.P.S. is Full of Shit

It’s no mystery that some of the writers here show no love for T.A.P.S. or the Ghost Hunters show — in fact there are quite a few readers who agree, that’s why I got such a big kick out of last-nights South Park episode.

In true South Park fashion, they rip into Ghost Hunters as “the [...]

You know…”in MY day”…being 13 meant swimming at friends’ houses, playing street hockey, maybe some classic Street Fighter on Super NES, or Mario Kart before it went all crazy 3D on the Game Cube, I could never handle those crazy controllers… But now, NOW, apparently being 13 means txt-ing. Non. F-ing. Stop.

Inky Stinky.

I love tattoos.  I love everything about getting a tattoo.  I love the anticipation of the tattoo, the tawdry feeling of subversiveness that comes with hanging out in the tattoo parlor, the knowledge that you are going to leave looking a little more badass than when you walked in, and ESPECIALLY the searing sting and deafening [...]

Panda BEAR… Dumbass….

Any story that starts out like this is going to be awesome:
BEIJING (AP) — A college student in southern China was bitten by a panda after he broke into the bear’s enclosure hoping to get a hug, state media and a park employee said Saturday.
Don’t fall for their wily woman panda ways! Or you’ll end [...]

Competency. Try it.

It’s Friday, thank god.
As anyone who has ever worked a phone job can attest to, that amazing invention with the buttons and the dial tone attracts some total nutjobs that grace one’s daily life on this end of the telephone cord with some truly awesome glimpses at humanity at its finest.
For example, the woman who [...]

From the Brilliant Parenting Files… File #3

The first line of the story says it all:
STEVENSVILLE, Montana (AP) — About 90 elementary school students in Montana have started a series of rabies shots after a parent let them touch a dead bat that was later confirmed to be diseased.
But really, to get the full effect, you have to keep reading:

Redneck Woman Clarified Why Obama Would be a Bad President

… that title is a bit misleading, let’s try this one:
Redneck woman, barely able to speak, tried to explain that Obama is an unsuitable president because of his name… because aye-rabs are cutting soldiers heads off in Iraq.
It’s pretty much iron-clad, I get that, what I also appreciate is how these redneck’s accents are so [...]

Commentary: Stop Bringing Babies to R-Rated Movies

You know who you are… and you can just go straight to hell.
The different between a parent that stays home and misses movies, or gets a sitter and goes to one every few months versus the one that drags their infant, stroller and all, into an R-Rated movie on opening weekend is that one parent [...]
