Hunter Moore, animate STI and founder of revenge porn site Is Anyone Up, was sentenced to two years in prison yesterday. Moore pled guilty to hacking and identity theft earlier this year.

It’s Actually Refreshing To Read a Teenage Spider-Man Story Again

When Spidey was announced, I was admittedly rather critical. As an avid Spider-Man fan, I always want the character to grow, to be pushed into new territory. Going back to his roots felt like wasted navel gazing. But I was wrong: in a world where Peter Parker is a “Poor Tony Stark,” Spidey is a…

China Says It Arrested Hackers That Attacked the US. I Want to See the Receipts! 

It smells like bullshit in China’s PR shop. Yesterday, China’s state-run news agency said that criminals—not the government—stole data from the US Office of Personnel Management.

10 movies that embarrassingly had the same plot as other movies

Hollywood is hardly original. Movies pay homage and crib ideas from films that came before it and everyone pretends not to notice. But there are certain movies that are basically carbon copies of other movies that came out around the same time, just with different actors and different directors at the helm. It’s the result…

Our Sun Could Release Superflares As Powerful As a Billion Megaton Bombs

By studying a nearby sun-like star, astronomers have concluded that the Sun is capable of releasing solar flares a thousand times greater than anything previously recorded.

The Original Star Wars Is a Great Movie Because It Asks More Questions Than It Answers

There’s an entire industry dedicated to squeezing as many tiny tools as possible onto the keyring you carry every day.

Google Play Music lives on the web and as several mobile apps. But as you would expect from Google, there’s not much in the way of desktop support. If you do want to air your tunes from a desktop application in Windows or Mac OS X, then there are a couple of third-party, open source…
