Don’t get enough Angry Birds on your phone? Not enjoying the same functionality from a web-based look-alike? Need a larger screen to see the sweat on the green pigs brow? Well now you can play Angry Birds on your desktop, laptop, any top that has Chrome installed. EDIT: Works great in Firefox, too!
I need to call someone about the hours I’ve already spent lobbing fowl at swine and giggling like a madwoman. Is there an Angry Birds hotline yet? No? There should be.

I was listening to NPR yesterday on the drive home and they were discussing Apple’s latest press release of what they call iCloud. Someone referred to Steve Jobs as “The Thomas Edison of our day.” I threw up in my mouth a little bit, then I yelled ‘pftthh!’ out loud to nobody in particular, feeling the need to make sure my disgust was registered. Please take heed that I want this duly noted in the log.
Here are 50 pictures of people carrying way too much cargo on tiny motorbikes.
The USDA may have replaced the venerable Food Pyramid with the new Round Plate of Nutritional Greatness, but as the Egyptians have always known, that doesn’t mean pyramids have gone entirely out of style. Continue reading
Last night, a hacking group by the name of Lulzsecurity hacked a private company called Infragard.

China’s been up to some shenanigans this week, no? Actually, China’s up to shenanigans every week but it doesn’t usually make the news.

Kind of like when the neighbor’s house burns down and you go through your apartment checking all your smoke alarms and fire extinguishers for the first time in two years.
So today, let’s talk about passwords. We all have them! Probably far more than we’d like to have. They’re also just about the only thing standing between us and A Great Big Bad Day. Getting your online accounts hacked sucks. Just ask Anthony Weiner. Continue reading
How often do comic books inspire real life? I’d say almost never, since I haven’t developed the ability to fly or incinerate anything with my eyeballs yet. But if you could devise something…would it be a super duper arm gauntlet that could stun criminals, house a video camera, and possibly incorporate GPS, biometrics, and chemical sensors. Well, maybe. Perhaps add a batarang and I’m sold! Continue reading
Jonathan Goldstein is a miserable nebbish who will forever be stuck in the frozen wasteland of Canadian radio, broadcasting to no one. His friends mock him, his parents coddle him and his ex-girlfriends hate him.

He is self-centered. He is egotistical. Jonathan Goldstein, one could say, is a terribly boring troglodyte who just so happens to be the most brilliant figure in entertainment radio. Continue reading
Yes, there’s now a Tumblr devoted to people who think Onion articles are real.
