Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I don’t spend a lot of time using online auctions or classifieds sites, so haven’t yet had the experience of being ripped off by some dick who fails to come through with what I paid him for. But if ever that day should come, I hope I’m as creative with my revenge as Edd Joseph. …

I don’t totally understand why given that it’s 2014 and we really should be beyond it, but the subject of plain text, “more accessible” versions of websites still comes up more than you’d think. For the record, I hate those and you should, too. And in a new post on his accessibility blog, Marco breaks …

Remember that time Facebook tried to force people to use @facebook.com email addresses? Yeah, about that. Facebook has quietly closed its three-year-old email service that gave users “@facebook.com” email addresses.

I’ve seen a lot in the news about Google Glass, but to be honest, I haven’t paid that much attention to any of it. At least I hadn’t until today when a couple of stories caught my eye. But before we get into those, I’m sure some of you are wondering Steve, what the hell …

The specifics of the case in question here aren’t really important, though threatening kids on the internet is certainly a serious matter. What I’m more concerned about is that there are FBI agents investigating online activity who think that the presence of a MAC address in network connection logs signifies that criminals are using Apple …
I don’t know whether or not Robert Allan Wright Jr. is a good lawyer, but considering that he fell for a Nigerian scam brought to him by a client to the extent that he was borrowing money from other clients to help pay the fees to secure a supposed inheritance, my suspicion is no. But …

Do me a favour. Read this article all about how periods at the ends of sentences in text messages now mean that you’re angry at the person you’re writing to and see if it makes any sense to you, because I understand about 0 of it. Honest to god, in a million years I would …
