25-year old artist Kyle MacDonald installed some rogue software on 100 computers in two Manhattan Apple stores . The software allowed the computers’ webcams to take a picture every minute, and upload the picture to Kyle’s server if there was a face detected . He then started a Tumblr blog with some of the choicer pictures. Unfortunately, nobody was picking boogies. Over the course of the project, McDonald set up roughly 100 Apple store computers to call his servers every minute. That’s a lot of network traffic, and he learned that Apple monitors traffic in its stores when he received a photo from a Cupertino computer of what appeared to be an Apple technician. The technician had apparently traced the traffic to the site McDonald used to upload the program to Apple Store computers — and installed it himself. McDonald figured that Apple had decided the program wasn’t a big deal. That was until four Secret Service men in suits woke him up on Thursday morning with a search warrant for computer fraud. They confiscated two computers, an iPod and two flash drives, and told McDonald that Apple would contact him separately. Whether you side with Apple/the government (which are practically the same!) or Kyle, you’ve got to admit it’s a shame more people don’t flash their tits at random laptops in electronics stores. Hit the jump for a video about the project and a link to his not-being-updated Tumblr with a couple pages of faces.

A memorial to the commie ‘liberation’ of the country in Sofia, Bulgaria was recently defaced by anti-communist graffiti artists to include the likenesses of a bunch of superheroes (plus The Joker, Santa and Ronald McDongald). So yeah — good lookin’, guys, but it’s still weird seeing Santa fighting something besides type II diabetes. Hit the jump for a bunch of closeups, as well as a picture of the statue in its regular state, except for a chick painting a pecker on the dude in the middle.

In what can only be viewed as a blatant act of terrorism, Superman is renouncing his U.S. citizenship , citing ” America’s obesity problem he’s tired of being construed as an instrument of US policy.” You know what? Fine — but you better change your color scheme BECAUSE THESE COLORS DON’T RUN, CLARK… … … …KENT. CLARK KENT — THAT’S HIS REAL NAME! “Superman is a visitor from a distant planet who has long embraced American values. As a character and an icon, he embodies the best of the American Way,” DC’s co-publishers, Jim Lee and Dan DiDio said in a statement to FOX411.com. “In a short story in ACTION COMICS 900, Superman announces his intention to put a global focus on his never ending battle, but he remains, as always, committed to his adopted home and his roots as a Kansas farm boy from Smallville.” The landmark issue is certainly sparking controversy. “Besides being riddled with a blatant lack of patriotism, and respect for our country, Superman’s current creators are belittling the United States as a whole. By denouncing his citizenship, Superman becomes an eerie metaphor for the current economic and power status the country holds worldwide,” Hollywood publicist and GOP activist Angie Meyer told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. First of all, WTF is a Pop Tarts column and can I eat it cold? Secondly, holy shit people are arguing over comic book characters . You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t get involved, it’s just that I’ve got other things to worry about. Namely, an erection lasting longer than four hours . I know the commercial says call your doctor, but what that’s just a ploy to kidnap me for biological experiments?! “Who knows — maybe you’ll wind up with a superpower…” … … …Hello, Dr. Shirling?! I’ve had a boner for 48-hours straight and I want to read minds! Superman Renounces U.S. Citizenship in Latest Action Comic [theblaze] and Superman Renounces His U.S. Citizenship in 900th Issue of Action Comics [foxnews] Thanks to Chris and Julian M., who both have dual-citizenships, and personalities .

Uh, is that a dude with tits? Microsoft , working with the federal gubment, successfully raided a number of web-hosts around the country, bringing down a bot-network of compromised computers they believe are responsible for as much as 40% of all spam emails . Weird, because my box is still packed with boner-pills. Did I say box? I meant butt. That’s where I keep my stash. “Shutting down Rustock could put a huge dent in spam worldwide,” reports CNet. Indeed, tech security giant Symantec estimated last year that Rustock was responsible for 39% of the world’s spam. “The shutdown is one of the rare victories against cybercriminals who use botnets, or herds of compromised computers, to wreak havoc on the internet,” writes VentureBeat. “It shows that technology can be used to perpetrate cyber crime as well as to hunt down cyber criminals.” Alas, “At the moment, it’s safest to say Rustock has been made inactive, rather than having been taken down,” according to DigitalTrends.com. “The estimated million infected zombie computers are still out there, and if Rustock’s creators are wily they might be able to regain control over some portion of them.” Great, now where am I supposed to go for cheap drugs? “The ghetto.” The ghetto?! But it’s dangerous to go alone! “Here, take this.” *looking* This is a sign that says ‘ROB ME’ with a bunch of racial slurs. Spam Network Shut Down [wallstreetjournal] Thanks to Rooble, who, got any testosterone pills?

This is a robotic hummingbird designed by DARPA to fly around and capture audio/video on reconnaissance missions (not to be confused with renaissance missions, which usually involve slaying dragons and saving a princess). AOL News reports it’s just a research project for now, but the battery-powered drone has a front-facing camera and can fly for up to eight minutes at a time. It has taken five years to build and cost $4 million, per the Los Angeles Times, but the new model of the Nano Hummingbird drone really looks like a bird flying around. It would allow the military to literally drop a bird at a window ledger for reconnaissance purposes. “You can use these things anywhere, put them anyplace, and the target will never even know they’re being watched,” said defense expert Peter W. Singer. “…and the target will never even know they’re being watched”. Sure, PROVIDED THEY DON’T SEE THE FAKE ROBOTIC BIRD PERCHED ON THEIR WINDOW SILL. It’s just like trying to hide in the women’s locker room — you’re invisible until somebody realizes the water fountain is masturbating. Hit the jump for a worthwhile video of the lil’ hummer in action.

That’s right, would-be astronauts , you can forget about NASA ever sending you to the moon strapped to a giant rocket, cause that shit ain’t happening. Your only chance now is lassoing a moonicorn and barebacking that bitch to outerspace. Obama wants to end NASA’s moon program, turn over space transportation to commercial companies and jump-start technologies needed for future human exploration of Mars and other destinations, officials said on Monday. Obama’s budget ends work on the shuttle follow-on vehicle, known as Orion, as well as a pair of rockets developed to fly astronauts to the space station, the moon and other destinations in the solar system. Funds previously earmarked for the Constellation program, initially intended to return U.S. astronauts to the moon by 2020, instead would be used for research projects that include robotics and other technologies needed to prepare for an eventual human mission to Mars Privatizing space transportation? I don’t know how I feel about that besides GW’s ROCKET TOURS NOW TAKING RESERVATIONS!! Week long space trips start at $1million. Now I know what you’re thinking, “I bet the GW’s just gonna get me high and drop me off at Space Camp”. And that, my friend, is a safe bet.

Want an XBox 360 signed by Sarah Palin ? Me neither. But if you still want to go and blow a cool $1.1 million on one, congratulation, you’re an idiot . Also, what’s your home address? The infamous Sarah Palin XBOX 360 was autographed at the governors picnic on July 24, 2009, in Wasilla, Alaska, just two days before her resignation as governor of that state. You can own this 60GB, perfect-condition, one-of-a-kind item before her expected run for president of the United States of America in 2012. When the governors picnic took place, there were hordes of people trying to see her, but I pushed my way through the crowd to the front of the line. When I was in front of Sarah Palin, I told her that I had traveled three days to see her and asked her to sign my Xbox360. She said it was the most extravagant thing she had ever been asked to sign. I shook her hand, removed myself from the crowd, and then I packed up my Xbox360 and headed home. It was one of the greatest thrills of my life to have watched Sarah Palin on CNN, SNL, Youtube, and then to see her right in front of me. What the hell’s the matter with this guy? Reminds me of all the idiots trying to sell Wii’s for $1 million the week before Christmas. Just saying, I wouldn’t even pay that for a console signed by Princess Peach AND Zelda. I would pay that for one signed by The Geekologie Writer though. Contact me for more info. Hit the jump for a picture of Palin signing it.

I know for a fact the government can pull images from a person’s brain because they’ve been probing around in my dome for years, messing with the delicate ecosystem up there. And one time when I was being interrogated I saw a picture of a dinosaur in an agent’s file folder, SO I KNOW. Anyway, apparently they’ve decided to make the technology public knowledge. Having modeled how images are represented in the brain, the researchers translated recorded patterns of neural activity into pictures of what test subjects had seen. To construct their model, the researchers used an fMRI machine, which measures blood flow through the brain, to track neural activity in three people as they looked at pictures of everyday settings and objects. As in the earlier study, they looked at parts of the brain linked to the shape of objects. Unlike before, they looked at regions whose activity correlates with general classifications, such as “buildings” or “small groups of people.” Once the model was calibrated, the test subjects looked at another set of pictures. After interpreting the resulting neural patterns, the researchers’ program plucked corresponding pictures from a database of 6 million images. Soon, everyone will have a photo printer in the back of their head to print off worthwhile images they’ve seen. Me? I already have one. Don’t believe me — check this stack of pictures. What? Don’t act like you’ve never seen a dinosaur penis before! Brain Scans Reveal What You’ve Seen [wired] Thanks to Anit, who can read minds like comic books: with incredible difficulty.

Aliens are real , here on earth, and the U.S. government has the proof to prove it, at least according to Edgar Mitchell, the longest moonwalker (suck it, MJ!), and handsome devil seen in the photo above. This is not the first time Edgar ‘Aliens In My Ass’ Mitchell has confessed his belief in extraterestrians, or whatever the hell they are. “It is now time to put away this embargo of truth about the alien presence,” said the astronaut who made the longest moonwalk in history. “I call upon our government to open up … and become a part of this planetary community that is now trying to take our proper role as a spacefaring civilization.” Asked why there still is no definitive proof, he said: “We have that, it’s just that it’s been covered up and denied by the powers that be in our own government,” adding that “there’s a secret government” that may be run by the “military-industrial complex.” Listen, Edgar ‘Check Your Feces for Pieces of Antennae’ Mitchell — everyone with half a brain knows there are aliens among us . The problem is, you can’t go spitting all that knowledge to the general public without these idiots rushing to the grocery store and buying up all the peanut butter and taping their buttholes closed every night. PEOPLE CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH. Could you imagine what would happen if they found out the president was a robot…. …. …. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! CURL: Astronaut says we’re not alone [washingtonpost] Thanks to Fish Man, who lives underwater and doesn’t have to worry about aliens as much because they can’t swim.
