I’m not sure how I feel about this.

I was trying to see if Jenna-Louise Coleman has dimples, and I stumbled onto a high-res picture of her in latex, complete with that impish smile of hers. Apparently, it’s a publicity shot for a movie with a sex scene.

She doesn’t have dimples, by the way.

Some time ago:

  • Google: Hey, you know how you use Google Notebook to store links and text quickly?
  • Me: Yep.
  • Google: We're shutting it down. You'll have to use Google Docs.
  • Me: That's annoying. I guess I'll just use Scratchpad and Writer and Hopper and stuff like that.
  • TODAY
  • Google: Hey, you know how you use Scratchpad to store links and text quickly?
  • Me: Wait...
  • Google: We're shutting it down.
  • Me: Wait a second -
  • Google: You'll have to use Google Keep!
  • Me: Isn't this just a reskinned Google Notebook?
  • Google: Not at all! This has cross-platform Android access! Also, it has no rich text options, no tags, and links are stored as plain text.
  • Me: So it's a crappier Google Notebook, except for the features I'll never use and which your competitor has anyway.
  • Google: No need to thank us!
  • Me: You do realize the only thing that was stopping me from using Evernote was the fact that I couldn't be arsed to remember another login?
  • Google: What are you getting at he-
  • Me: "Was".

THAT’S IT INTERNETS YOU’VE GONE TOO FAR

I KEEP SCROLLING BUT I CAN’T GET PAST IT

So, who exactly is looking at this thing and suddenly goes; “you know what I need? A printer.”?

Google unveils an exciting preview of what it’s like to look through Google Glasses

I snorted so hard I hurt myself.

We only have one month until the petition closes, and there are only about 1700 signatures on it!
Go sign!

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS WOULD BENEFIT THE AMERICANS ON TUMBLR. THEY COULD ACTUALLY SEE THEIR FRIENDS THAT LIVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THIS PLACE IS TOO GODDAMN BIG TO NOT HAVE A SYSTEM LIKE THIS.AMERICA’S TRAINS ARE DECADES BEHIND OTHER COUNTRIES’ RAILWAY TECHNOLOGY. IT’S AN EMBARRASSMENT AND WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIX IT WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

The last thing the world needs is the type of people who use Tumblr going outside.

So let’s see if I’ve got this straight. The Internet works like this: It gathers more and more revenue to the curators/aggregators who do the least possible amount of work while allocating less and less revenue (not necessarily in direct proportion but bit by bit) to those who do the most work.

Hence, if you do original work online, you’re probably screwed. But if you collect work that’s collected by others who in turn each collect work that’s collected by still others etc., etc., on down the line to the many someones who generate the original content, you — as the uppermost collector with the least amount of input — are gold.

Thus, the whole Internet ball of wax comes down to a race to be the ultimate uber-curator. Everything else is a sideshow.

Pelham, on Slate’s “How To Make a Viral Hit in Four Easy Steps” about how Buzzfeed basically just rips off Reddit

The difference between Buzzfeed and 9gag, then, is that 1. Buzzfeed doesn’t use watermarks, 2. BF is better at hiding their plagarism, and c)less rage comics.

Also, as a guy who put a piece of fanart on dA and had someone reposting it on tumblr within hours, despite the link in the description with the link to the relevant post on this tumblr, I get so pissed at things like this.
