Apple, It's Time to Delete Bing From the App Store Too

Bing, Microsoft's dedicated web searcher, must be deleted from the iTunes App Store at once. Why? Its image browsing mode can be set to watch hardcore porn. If Apple wants to follow their own absurd rules, Bing must be obliterated. More »

Apple, It's Time to Delete Safari From the iPhone

It took only a few hours: Apple has banned ForChan from iTunes, a perfectly innocent, web-based, dedicated image browser for the iPhone. Its only sin: It could display porn. Well done, Apple. Let's delete Safari now. More »

Unwatchable Avatar: Hollywood Greed Could Kill 3D

Like millions of others, I saw Avatar last weekend. I loved it—despite the 3D, not because of it. Admittedly, my seat was shitty and I wear eyeglasses, but if the experience isn't guaranteed, 3D will fail. Updated More »

My Second iMac Is Busted, Too

Click here to read My Second iMac Is Busted, Too
My first iMac arrived with a jaundiced screen, so Apple sent me a replacement. After unpacking, it took only moments for me to diagnose the system as being flawed in the exact same manner. Yes friends, I'm two for two! More »

Why Does a Mom Tweet Her Son's Death In Near-Real Time?

A long time ago, my ex-wife had two miscarriages. We could barely speak after that. Maybe that's why I can't understand how someone can tweet the death of her two-year-old son almost in real time. That's what Shellie Ross did. More »
