A new study was released last week detailing various online practices of users across our interconnected globe. Needless to say, some appalling facts have come to light.

Apparently, the vast majority of web surfers suffer from something called lying. Basically, those who use internet slang as a form of communicating emotion are doing so superfluously, haphazardly, and, for the most part, under false pretenses. Continue Reading

It’s easy to get karma on Reddit. First thing you have to do is be a Redditor, second thing is that you have to submit some interesting content, and the third thing you have to do is face months and months of downvote wrath from your fellow Redditors.

Perhaps I make it sound bad. It isn’t. You just need to submit things that are interesting, relevant, time-sensitive, aaaaand now you’re an idiot for “how dare you!” within milliseconds of submitting.

No, it’s not honestly so hard, you just find things that are interesting to you, submit them to the relevant sub-reddits, and now you are a fool, how dare you even think to submit to Reddit!

Hope this helps.

Google spends somewhere between virtually and literally nothing promoting their search business, but Microsoft spends tens of millions pushing Bing, and just about nobody is buying it.

I’ve tried it myself. It returns ‘pretty good’ but not great results. You know what produces better results? Google does. Both are evil empires, for sure, but Microsoft has really taken it to a new level.

So do you know what the best thing about Bing is?

Polly Gonn, MIT class of 2012, recently updated her Facebook profile picture to one of her favorite mathematics symbols: less than.

In doing so, she unwittingly unleashed a firestorm of heated comments, opinions, and questions the likes of which has not been seen since Rebecca Black’s “Friday” was posted on Youtube.

“I honestly had no idea what I had done,” Polly admitted to reporters. “I wasn’t trying to make a statement, I finally solved a formula that I’d been working on for a month and so I decided to post something to celebrate.” Continue Reading

Following a bloody, three-hour gun battle on the outskirts of Seattle, armed loyalists to ousted editor Brian K. White have reclaimed the offices.

Glossy News had been under the control of The Blaze, Inc., which many considered hostile, for less than twelve hours when the fighting began. Continue Reading

Effective as of midnight, GlossyNews.com is under new ownership. Editor Brian K. White has been relieved of his duties and a new editorial team will be shaping coverage from here out.

You may already know that Glenn Beck is handsome, charming and extremely intelligent, but did you know he also is the leading voice for many of America’s most lost and forgetten?

When the liberal media elite railroaded FOX News to take his wildly popular, amazingly informative show off the air, it had just begin to blossom. Well that show is still around, and countless Americans are still watching it. Continue Reading

Infamous web community Reddit is taking a big step. They’re going “meat space” and opening of real world “chat houses” in the US this fall, and they’re hoping it will bring all the same successes.

Jaskon Rosrath, the new VP of Ground Development, explained, “Reddit is great because it takes over your life life a wicked smack addiction, but it’s it’s not all good… We’re trying to bring the humanity back to it, cats and all.” Continue Reading

Google offers an Auto-Complete feature. You start your search, they suggest what you might want to see, based on what others have searched… and Google thinks you’re a huge racist.

I searched almost every country in the world and what I found was… well, it was interesting to say the least. I wouldn’t go as far as to say “informative”, but it definitely speaks to prejudices, pre-conceived notions and bigotry-at-large. Continue Reading

MOUNTAINVIEW, CA–Larry Page, co-founder and CEO of the mammoth search engine known to the world as Google, released a shocking admission and subsequent apology yesterday for intentionally placing harmful subliminal messages into the name of his informational superhighway.

Though everyone may be familiar with Google and what it does, not everyone is aware of its shady nomenclature. Continue Reading

God knows I love her, but we can’t have that kinda crazy around here ~ Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck says that when he heard Sarah Palin was leaving Fox News, he couldn’t have been happier.

“Now she will make something of herself, like I did,” he said proudly, adding “There is, after all, life after Fox.”

When Beck was fired from Fox back in the middle of 2011, many wondered if he’d ever recover from that mighty slap in the face by Roger Ailes. They aren’t wondering any longer, however. The answer is “No, he didn’t recover…yet.” Continue Reading

In a twist that will come as a shock to everyday users of the Internet, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) could permanently close down the websites of newspapers across the World Wide Web.

“The problem is the very broad language of the intellectual property chapter,” explained Senator Ron Wyden, who finally received a transcript of each round of negotiations thus far last week. “It doesn’t talk about ‘copyright infringement’, but instead speaks of ‘copyright theft’. Continue Reading

I’ve known these things were bogus since I was in about 6th grade, shortly after my librarian taught me about Barnum statements. This page proves it.

From there I learned about math and probability and realized that there’s zero chance all people born in the same 30-odd-day period could possibly have the same fate. It just defies probability, reason, and even the ever-wiggly common sense. But this page proves it. Continue Reading
