So Facebook is now a public company, and the valuation is 104 fucking billion dollars. Is anyone screaming Africa-end-hunger yet? I sure fucking would. This is a side-note, but holy fuck are we EVER capable of healing the ails of this wretched planet but we choose not to!
Anywho, let's continue with the topic at hand. When I read this article, I chuckled like a chuckler. I seem to remember MySpace, AOL and Yahoo! going through this same fucking pattern, but for some reason, we believe Facebook is God and will survive anything because nothing will ever get invented that will be bigger than the social network! Despite the fact that it's a stolen product, run by a punk who hasn't really done much, and existed in so many forms over the years : MySpace, Friendster, Orkut, any dating site, chatrooms, instant messengers, etc. People are willing to bank 104 billion fucking dollars on this thing. Well, have fun doing it and shitting on your...

Good god damn, how the media loves to blow bullshit out of proportion!
Apparently, the value of computer software piracy in Canada totalled more than 1.1 billion dollars last year with 40% of computer users admitting they acquired software illegally. Thus is the opening sentence in that report. So let's analyze it for a brief moment, shall we?
Let's use Windows 7 Pro as our AVERAGE price related to the software in question being pirated. That's roughly 199$ for a single license/software. Let's do the math and divide $1.1 billion by $199 = (1'100'000'000 / 199 = 5527638.190954774). Let's format that number, too. That's 5'527'638 copies of Windows 7 Professional sold in one year. Make sense? FUCK NO! And this is based on FORTY PERCENT of computer users that ADMITTED acquiring software illegally!
Where do they get these numbers?
Additionally, apparently, predominantly, males ages 25 to 34 are the mother f...

Now this is a great article :
Insider tells why Anonymous ‘might well be the most powerful organization on Earth’

A photo on the Greek ministry of justice website after it was hacked by Anonymous in February 2012. Anonymous came in first place in Time Magazine’s 2012 online poll on the most influential "person" in the world.
Christopher Doyon, a.k.a. Commander X, sits atop a hillside in an undisclosed location in Canada, watching a reporter and photographer make their way along a narrow path to join him, away from the prying eyes of law enforcement.
It’s been a few weeks of encrypted emails back and forth, working out the security protocol to follow for interviewing Doyon, one of the brains behind Anonymous, now a fugitive from the FBI.
Doyon, who readily admits taking part in some of the highest-...

4/20 is upon us, dear people. Why April 20th and not 21st? Or November 29th? Who knows, and they (those that gather at 4/20 like a herd of sheep) probably don't even know either... and surely might be too high to care, for that matter - or even sober.
I'm not against a little puff, but it does confuse and mystify the shit out of me seeing someone totally blasted and thinking it's god damn awesome and cool, especially to do it in public. It's similar to the teenage phase where drinking an entire 40oz of vodka and still being (barely) able to keep your eyes open (regardless of alcohol poisoning, vomitting and pissing all over yourself) and being crowned king by your peers for a while - until they manage to pull off something else that's even more stupid.
However, this isn't about me, nor my beliefs on the topic of smoking up and all that ridiculous bullshit about legalizing it (even though I roll my eyes at the thought of legalized illeg...

Welcome to the world that Hollywood help create over the recent years.
Apparently, kids don't mind a good fight. In fact, they don't mind it at all to the point of video recording the fucking thing in HD, either. Oh those little Speilbergs, I tell you!
Tell me, because I think I may be one of the few that is still sensitive to violence, especially the kind that is done outside my fucking TV screen - how is it normal that kids now can be calm, cool and have the fucking balls of watching someone get the shit kicked out of to the point of almost losing 100% of an eye, but, more so, RECORD the fucking thing?!If this isn't a direct result of how media is being transfered, and how and its level of realism as well as its profused-as-ever message that it's cool and shit, I really don't fucking know what is.
There were reportedly 50 (FIFTY, for fuck's sake!) student gathered around the fight and no one single punk-ass bitch did anything to prevent nor stop it. T...

So I was reading this article after logging out of hotmail, and I couldn't help but chuckle a bit. Apparently, canadians are piling on debts (ref : household debt at an all-time high of 150% of income [insert chuckle here]), buying shit beyond theirs means and, in so many words in the article, it's their own fuckin' fault!
To a minor degree, I agree. To the rest, I fucking disagree, and here's why :
Every price imaginable has been increasing and so have the taxes, with the SLIGHT exception of the GST lowering by a few percentages; however this is made up in other types of taxes to cover it.From fucking peanut butter to the god-cursed, black-gold oil and gas skyrocketing, yet wages are either reduced or simply not kept up with inflation rates, to thousands of jobs cut (ref : thanks to the new budget, 5500 jobs are cut at the government) what the fuck are we to do in the end?
Granted, those that buy half-a-million dollar houses on a 25k a year salary do deser...

Welcome to the end of all things related to freedom on the internet, at least.
If SOPA is passed, you won't be able to write shit on the internet. Mere comments on Facebook can even be illegal! Protest this fucking peice of shit at all cost, or say goodbye to your internet surfing days because you won't be able to open a single fucking page if the US government itself goes "Wild West" on site owners' asses, as they claim the internet is "The Wild West" itself.
When the fuck will the world recognize that it cannot solely depend on the god damn United States of World Police!
Ironically, reposting this article from http://mashable.com/2012/01/17/sopa-dangerous-opinion/, despite given full credentials and source, is against SOPA rules.
FUCK YOU SOPA and FUCK YOU US government!

Halloween is over and, all of a sudden, Christmas (or "Festival Holiday", for all you overly sensitive people, intolerant, religious freaks out there) decorations are up instantly. As if they were hiding, ready to pounce Halloween in the ass if it didn't get out of its way at midnight, on November 1st, so the economy could start its climb, amidst general fears from the world's population. Because, after all, it’s money that matters most. It's what we live for. It's what allows us to survive, even. It's the most important commodity that allows of to stave off a poor lifestyle, even homelessness.
But, the world in general, has developed such a short memory, made shorter still by the drive of greed, the rat-race of egotistical self-worth - we all forget the single, most important event in our recent history - Rememberance Day.
The next time you walk into a store, browsing useless purses, or pressing the touch screen on the latest iPhone, getting excited over the upcoming sale...

So, according to this article, the group Anonymous is about to unleash all holy hell on the mexican drug cartel because it (the drug cartel) kidnapped one of its members during a protest.
I find myself applauding this. Why? Because the war on drugs has been raging for fucking eons without any results; no positive results, at any rate. No politically announced results, especially. Drugs are more visible, accessible, affordable and in use than ever before. This is the perfect example that brains over brawn introduces. Welcome to the tech age, you doping mother fuckers - you will get yours and the Anonymous meeks will inherit and reap the rewards. Take, for example, the Anonymous crusade against child porn site and pedophiles - they exposed them easily, torn their webservers a new asshole and crippled the rest of them either in hiding or thinking twice about accessing/promoting it with fear.
How long did this take compared to the FBI...
