While we love hearing about sweet rides like the $100K Tesla Roadster, a functional and economical electric car made for the rest of us would be even cooler.

No, p2p is no longer the single biggest traffic whore, responsible for only 20 percent of total traffic. It’s streaming video, like YouTube and Hulu, which is now 50 percent of total traffic. Which explains Comcast’s flip on network management and why it’s a total smokescreen.

Earth Day is for liberal hippie douches. Heres the far superior alternative.

Firefox 3 introduces a few new features to bookmarks that I think makes them much, much easier to use, more useful in general, and much more useful in particular for catastrophically disorganized folk like me.

Sure, a couple of these fall into the “Draw Tippy the Turtle” art instruction school category, but some of these aren’t bad at all. Considering the consequences, it’s too bad his art school didn’t give him half a chance.

President Bush has set a record he’d presumably prefer to avoid: the highest disapproval rating of any president in the 70-year history of the Gallup Poll.

Ken Griffey Jr may be the first player in the last 35 years to reach 600 without cheating. He’s being forced to quietly make history in the shadows.

10,000 people gathered , puffing joints till the air turned blue. University police stood by to maintain order, but no one was busted for smoking pot. In the meantime, the DEA is staunchly defending its policy against American farmers legally growing hemp, claiming it is an illegal substance.

On April 20th, the New York Times exposed a secret Pentagon campaign to infiltrate the media with pro-war propaganda.

OX’s objective is clear: carpet bomb Barack Obama with negative stories, distortions, and smears before the Pennsylvania primary in an attempt to skew the outcome toward the Republicans’ preferred adversary, Hillary Clinton. But did FOX imagine that the “liberal” media would be such willing accomplices?

Isn’t it time something was done about this? This is what the Canadian government means by ‘humane’ slaughter. Incredible story and pictures from a witness of seal hunting… really cruel and really really sad…

After splitting up, a couple kept having bitter arguments over the cellphone, texting each other until one day the husband wrote “you change the topic every time you run out of arguments.” That day, afaulty localization of the cellphone’s typing system caused a chain of events that ended in a blood bath.

Way over pimped ride.

Not so long ago she declared that she was done with bikinis. Never again, Elizabeth Hurley said, would she sit eating lunch on a boat in a skimpy two-piece. The same went for tripping around the beach in a bikini top and skirt with her midriff showing. But as these pictures indicate, Miss Hurley will relax the rules under certain conditions.
