2012-02-13T22:06:00.003-05:00

Is Myspace the hot new social network?In the grey days of prehistory, back when Facebook was just a dream in Mark Zuckerberg’s mind, Myspace was the hit network, attracting over 75 million unique users. When it was bought from News Corp. in 2010, that number was at 33 million and dropping.Since December, when the company introduced a new music player, sign ups have skyrocketed, the New York Times first reported -- and the company on Monday, Feb. 13, officially announced that more than one million new users had joined the growing service...[continued]

Google Knowledge Graph Could Change Search Forever

2012-02-13T21:09:00.000-05:00

by Lance Ulanoff
Google has a confession to make: It does not understand you. If you ask it “the 10 deepest lakes in the U.S,” it will give you a very good result based on the keywords in the phrase and sites with significant authority on those words and even word groupings, but Google Fellow and SVP Amit Singhal says Google doesn’t understand the question. “We cross our fingers and hope someone on the web has written about these things or topics.”The future of Google Search, though, could be a very different story. In an extensive conversation, Singhal, who has been in the search field for 20 years, outlined a developing vision for search that takes it beyond mere words and into the world of entities, attributes and the relationship between those entities. In other words, Google’s future search engine will not only understand your lake question but know a lake is a body of water and tell you the depth, surface areas, temperatures and even salinities for each lake.To understand where Google is going, however, you need to know where it’s been...[continued]

No one at the stores, or in marketing care whether or not a toy is awesome. They don't care if its cheap junk with wheels on it that shouldn't be there. Thats not their job. Their job is to sell what YOU buy. It took an incredible amount of effort to get something this cool through all the processes.

brohrbach - BOSTON -- After his Los Angeles Lakers defeated the archrival Celtics 88-87 in overtime, NBA superstar Kobe Bryant fielded a number of questions about his next opponent: Former Harvard and current New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin, who has averaged 25.3 points and 8.3 assists in his last three games."I know who he is, but I don't really know what's going on too much with him," said Bryant of the Chinese-American sensation. "I don't even know what he's done. Like, I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I'll take a look at it tonight though."Asked again about the "Linning" or "LInsanity" excitement that's been sweeping the globe, Bryant said, "I don't even know what the [fudge] is going on. What the [fudge] is going on? Who is this kid? I've heard about him and stuff like that, but what's he been doing? Is he getting like triple doubles or some [stuff]? He's averaging 28 and eight? No [stuff]."If he's playing well, I'll just have to deal with him."Finally, asked if he would consider guarding the upstart Lin, Kobe added, "Jesus Christ. Let's not get ahead of ourselves."

BY JAMIE CONDLIFFE
To most people that know him, Max Schrems is a typical law student from Austria. To Facebook, he is a massive pain in the ass. Outsmarting their attorneys, bombarding them with legal complaints and forming activist groups, he plans to transform Facebook's privacy policy in Europe.While Schrems was a visiting student at Santa Clara University in Silicon Valley, he was shocked by a Facebook lawyer's grasp of the severity of data protection laws in Europe. As a result, he wrote a thesis about Facebook's misunderstanding of privacy law in the EU, unearthing all kinds of violations — data protection is much more strict across the pond in Europe...[continued]

It was a disastrous night for Romney, not only because he lost states that only a few days ago he had expected to win but because of the scale of the defeat, coming in a humbling third in Minnesota.The setback came just a week after he won the Florida primary and added a further victory on Saturday in Nevada, seemingly cruising towards the Republican nomination to take on Barack Obama for the White House in November...[continued]

Yes, we're talking physical, brick-and-mortar stores, the kind people can actually walk into.This is all speculation, of course, but Jason Calacanis got the ball rolling with a post late last year entitled, "Rumor: Amazon Retail Stores Coming & Predatory Pricing Channel Destruction."That was followed last week by a story by the New York Times Bits blog speculating (and citing that Calacanis story) that Amazon might just very well be exploring opening physical stores."For years, there has been speculation that Amazon will open its own outlets, presumably to sell Amazon-label products," wrote David Streitfeld.

As international tensions rise, critics close to the regime dismiss praise for A Separation
by Saeed Kamali Dehghan
It has picked up award after award, including a Golden Globe last month for the best foreign language film and the Golden Bear at last year's Berlin film festival. And it has delighted ordinary Iranians grateful for some glory at a time when international tensions are rising and the country's regime is ever more isolated. But not everyone in Tehran is happy that Asghar Farhadi's hugely successful work, A Separation, is now a racing certainty to win an Oscar for the best foreign film at this month's Academy Awards.The backlash was apparent on state-run television recently when Masoud Ferasati, an Iranian writer whose views are close to those of the Islamic regime, said: "The image of our society that A Separation depicts is the dirty picture westerners are wishing for." Ferasati added that political motivations were behind the many awards for Iranian films in the past two decades, and said an Oscar for A Separation should not be welcomed by Iranians...[continued]

Google started off the new year by announcing that they will be changing their privacy policies so that they can create more detailed profiles of their users. Starting March 1st, 2012, Google will combine information from user’s Gmail, Google Search history, YouTube, and other services. Prior to this change, Google profiled their users, but restricted the profile data use to the service from which the data was collected.Because we have come to rely on web services so much in our day-to-day activities, it simply isn't an option to stop using search, webmail, and social networking. But there are ways for heavy users to keep a low profile so that, should Google turn decidedly evil, you won't be completely at their mercy.

These people are highly deceived, so much so I think this strong delusion has been sent by God himself.

CAIRO — The conflict between Egypt's ruling military and pro-democracy protesters isn't just on the streets of Cairo, it's on the walls as well, as graffiti artists from each side duel it out with spray paint and stencils.Earlier this month, supporters of the ruling generals painted over part of the largest and most famous antimilitary graffiti pieces in the capital.The military's supporters then made a 15-minute video using footage posted by two young men stenciling pro-revolution graffiti and wearing Guy Fawkes masks, the grinning face made famous by the movie "V for Vendetta". In an attempt mock the revolutionary street art, the military supporters declared in their video, "The police, military and people are one hand," and, "The military is a red line."..[continued]

Drake Says There Won’t Be A Response To Common

2012-01-30T19:44:00.000-05:00

Drake has officially gone on record and stated he will not be retaliating to Common’s diss on Stay Schemin’ remix. Drizzy spoke to Cyrus about the beef and cleared up some more rumors, saying that his “Bitch you wasn’t with me shootin in the gym” line was no disrespect to Vanessa Bryant.
So people want to know: will you respond to Common?
No. Because despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a “hip hop moment” or a “battle for the sake of musical integrity”…it’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album. More than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story...[continued]

Former Black Panther patches together purpose in Africa exile

2012-01-29T21:18:00.006-05:00

By Christopher Goffard, Los Angeles Times
Reporting from Imbaseni, Tanzania -- The fugitive shuffles to his computer and begins typing out his will. He is about to turn 71, and it is time. "My life," he writes, "has been a wild and wicked ride...."All Pete O'Neal has amassed fits on two pages: A small brick home with a sheet-metal roof. A few road-beaten vehicles. A cluster of bunkhouses and classrooms he spent decades building, brick by scavenged brick, near the slopes of Mt. Meru's volcanic cone. Everything will go to his wife of 42 years, Charlotte, and to a few trusted workers.He prints out the will late one Saturday morning and settles into his reclining chair to check the spelling. He signs his name. Then, to guarantee its authenticity, he finds an ink pad, rolls his thumb across it, and affixes his thumbprint to the bottom of the page."I think that'll do it," he says. When last he walked America's streets, O'Neal was a magnetic young man possessed of bottomless anger. He was an ex-con who'd found a kind of religion in late-'60s black nationalism, a vain, violent street hustler reborn in a Black Panther uniform of dark sunglasses, beret and leather jacket. With pitiless, knife-sharp diction, he spoke of sending police to their graves...[continued]
