Arrrrrr!

Sometimes Chinese piracy results in great hilarity. Look at these bootleg Harry Potter "sequels" created for the Chinese market. My personal favorite, "Harry Potter and the Filler of Big."

What a great idea

Here's a fantastic product from a Russian weapons manufacturer....cruise missiles that come concealed within a shipping container. Because that's the problem I have with my cruise missile launchers, they are just too conspicuous.

There's a video of this awesome idea in action!



I wonder if Disney approved them to use the Pirates of the Caribbean music to promote their weapons platform? Probably not.

Altered States

So Arizona's new immigration laws are seriously pissing people off, and rightly so. By far my favorite sign of disapproval thus far has been the refried bean swastikas that were scrawled on the windows of the state capitol. Whoever came up with that one was a fucking genius.

Cool Tools

This may be the coolest multipurpose tool that I have ever seen.

Lol...

I went down the YouTube today and came out with this.

What the antichrist did I just watch?

Here's some crazy ass South African group called Die Antwoord.



I can't decide if I love it or hate it....sure as shit is odd though. I guess South Africa is getting ready to blow up world wide...kind of like New Zealand did a few years back.

Taken to task.

Watch Anderson Cooper take apart some birther asshat.



First, FTW Anderson Cooper. Second, if you believe that Barack Obama was born in Kenya then I hope you get trampled by a fucking unicorn. You are a embarrassment to you country and a miserable human being.

Ignorance is no defense, educate yourself and don't be ignorant to ACTUAL FACTS.

Yet another religion FAIL!

The winner for being the most ignorant to logic and The Scientific method is......

This guy.

Now that is by far the most stunning insight into plate tectonics and subduction zones that I have ever read. I think he better have someone check his work.

Man, Mother Nature is really pissed off this year. This volcano in Iceland is seriously awesome to watch.

Huge Brass Balls.

Delusional, party of two your table is ready.

The RIAA and the MPAA recently submitted a "wish list" of methods and technologies that they would like to see implemented to prevent theft of their members products. The Office of the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator had put out a request for comments on their plan for how to better protect copyright holders works.

Needless to say some of the ideas the RIAA and MPAA put forward go from ridiculous to un-fucking-believable. Trust me, you'll want to read this one.

Poor Bastard

Sure he has this amazing yacht...but money can't buy happiness right? Whatever, I bet he has to have the smile surgically removed every night.

Apple gone crazy?

I was really shocked to see that Apple allowed the Opera we browser into the app store for the iPhone. In the past they have taken a hard line at not approving applications that "duplicated original functionality". So since the phone ships with Apple's own Safari browser how is it that they can judge Opera to NOT be duplicating the original functionality? Since its release the Opera browser has become the most downloaded application in all 22 markets that the App Store services....that's pretty crazy. I mean everyone's iPhone could already browse the web perfectly fine, why would anyone want a CHOICE of browsers? What a novel concept.

I hope the success of Opera shines a very bright spot light on Apple's draconian App Store practices. I for one would love to have the Google Voice application that Apple shot down last year for "duplicating original functionality". Exactly how many legs do they have to stand on now?

World's Best Dad

I get asked a lot why I don't have any kids. Here's a good reason, having kids that have bad taste in music and lack civility.


What a douche.

Half ass

Great article about how our screwed up tax code is the root of all our budget problems. How many of the white, middle to upper middle class, conservative tea party asshats actually pay their fair share?

It's educational

Learn something about biology...then say WTF!?

Hypocrites

Is even the Republican legend Ronald Reagan to left leaning for today's right wing asshats? For years staunch Republicans championed him as our last "great" President.

Yet when Obama signs a nuclear disarmament treaty that is nearly identical to what Reagan wanted to do almost 30 years ago he is maligned as selling our national security down the drain.

Soiled iPad

When the Apple iPad was announced there was some interesting remarks from people "in the know" that the $499 starting prices was actually higher than the rumored launch price. With that in mind, check out this article about how much it actually costs Apple to build the iPad. It costs Apple less than $300 to build that $499 device.

Yes, I know that doesn't take into account the R&D costs and advertisement costs for the device but those arguments are total bullshit. First, Apple doesn't need to advertise any of their consumer electronics. The media gives them huge amounts of free coverage which is far more effective than any ad campaign that Apple could ever devise themselves. Apple has become the absolute masters of manipulating the media with their product secrecy and launch strategies. Second, exactly how much could the R&D for the iPad have really cost? The software is identical to that already running on the iPhone and iPod Touch so little work was required to port that to the iPad hardware. The hardware itself is evolutionary not revolutionary so that cost is probably really low as well.

So Apple probably makes a minimum of $100 profit off of each iPad they sell which has to be the absolute envy of every consumer electronics company out there. Take Sony for example, they still lose money on every PlayStation 3 sold today and it's been on the market for more than three years. Sony can do that because they make up the loss on the licensing and sale of content(games,Blu-ray,etc).

Considering that last point, Apple's profit on the hardware should REALLY piss you off. The iPad is a content consumption device and Apple is making about 30% off of every app, song, video and book that you buy on your iPad. That should also scare the living shit out of all of Apple's competitors because If they really wanted to they could drop the entry level iPad's price all the way down to $250 and they would still make bucket-fulls of money off of it. Owning the content delivery channel gives them the the ability to subsidize the price of the device to a level that no competitor could manage without taking a huge loss on every device sold.

The real John McCain?

This is laugh out loud funny shit. John McCain spent millions of campaign money trying to convince America that he was a "Maverick"....two years later he says he wasn't. WTF!
