Google Defends Against Large Scale Chinese Cyber... →
mattradickal:
It’s great to see one of the biggest corporations in the world standing up for the individual. I love Google.
Well, on one hand, it’s great that they’re finally standing up to China, but consider this.
Google refused to compromise it’s operations in America when the Government asked Google to develop a method for keeping minors from accessing porn. Google...

Ender's Game: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying...
There are very few books that have confused me as much as Orson Scott Card’s “Ender’s Game”. Featuring the story of a timid boy genius who’s burdened with the task of saving mankind from a race of sentient antlike creatures often referred to as “The Buggers”, “Ender’s Game” juggles several themes and questions, and for the most part, ignores them entirely. The story takes place in a not so distant...

“Space may be the final frontier, but it’s made in a Hollywood Basement”
The Hero chuckled to himself as the whips seared his flesh and the shame broke his heart. He had endured the torture for days now. A lifetime ago he had stood for justice and valor, he was a beacon of hope to those around him. Now, he stood for nobody but himself. For all his wit, he could not outsmart his captors, and for all his strength, he could not break the chains that bound him. He had...

Farewell John Frusciante
John Frusciante isn’t dead. He hasn’t even really stopped making music, so he really isn’t going anywhere. However, late in 2009, John confirmed that after 12 years of being a member of RHCP, he has now quit in order to pursue new musical interests.
This is something that is particularly depressing to me. I often have regarded RHCP as one of the most talented mainstream acts...
Avatar Movie Review
In mid 2009, Quentin Tarantino shocked audiences everywhere by giving World War II an alternate ending in his wonder “Inglourious Basterds”. Now James Cameron releases “Avatar”, the self touted film that “will change filmmaking forever” to give the Native Americans and Earth a little alternate history.
Avatar doesn’t take place on Earth and there are no Native Americans, but there are very...
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum
Mmm delicious fraud. Gotta love it when you find out the school you’ve been going to for the past semester is probably a scam school with a long history of fucking students over, but I guess that’s what you get for being trusting. My mistake.
Anywho, this is my first real post on my Tumblr. What I’ll be doing here is posting stories and generally talking about random shit.
