Feds Shut Down File-Hosting Giant Megaupload, Anonymous Goes On A Website Killing Spree

So yesterday the feds busted up Megaupload, the “50-million+ daily visits and 4% of all web traffic” file-hosting website for SURPRISE! copyright infringement (among other things). Then hacker collective Anonymous, displeased with the fed’s operation, decided to go on a website killing spree, taking down the FBI, Department of Justice, Recording Industry of America, Motion Picture Association of America, BMI, Universal Music, and other related sites with quickly orchestrated distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks (basically pounded a server with access requests until it shits the bed). Oh God please don’t do Geekologie next. So, yeah — no word what’s gonna happen to RapidShare, Box, FileSonic, FileFactory, uPload, Wupload, 4shared, Oron, Badongo, DepositFiles, Uploading, zShare, FileServe, MediaFile, MediaFire or Hotfile. But me? I already know what’s gonna happen to me. I’m gonna get rich making and selling mix-tapes out the trunk of my car . Come over quick and bring boomboxes! Feds Kill Megaupload [gizmodo] and Anonymous Goes on Megaupload Revenge Spree: DoJ, RIAA, MPAA, and Universal Music All Offline [gizmodo] and Feds Shutter Megaupload, Arrest Executives [wired] Thanks to everyone who sent this in, the majority of which expressed a real concern with where their next porn-fix was gonna come from. IT’S THE INTERNET PEOPLE, NOT PRISON (not yet anyways).

We’re Breaking Up: ‘Find His P0rn’, A P0rn Finding App

‘Find His P0rn’ is a website you can visit on your boyfriend/husband/roommate/son’s computer that will, wait for it — FIND HIS P0RN . That way you can confront him about whatever disturbing fetish videos you found and have the awkwardest conversation of your sure-to-be-short-lived relationship. I can see it now: Girlfriend : I found your p0rn stash, Michael! You must really like cheerleaders, huh? Boyfriend : You were snooping around on my computer? Girlfriend : No, I paid $20 for an app to do it for me! Boyfriend : I hope you get a lifetime subscription, because we’re through. Girlfriend : That’s not what this is about! Boyfriend : *downloading Chesty Cheerleader Tryouts 4* Official Site Thanks to Carrie, who claims her man doesn’t have time to watch p0rn because she’s a nympho. Literally — she said that!

What One Day’s Worth Of Flickr Uploads Printed Out And Scattered All Over The Floor Looks Like

This is what one day of Flickr uploads — over a million photos — looks like printed out and piled all over the floor of an art gallery . It’s…a mess. If this were my bedroom growing up there is ZERO CHANCE I would have gotten dessert with dinner. Some pretentious bullshit: Speaking to Creative Review, [artist Erik] Kessels says that “We’re exposed to an overload of images nowadays” and that “This glut is in large part the result of image-sharing sites like Flickr, networking sites like Facebook, and picture-based search engines. Their content mingles public and private, with the very personal being openly and unselfconsciously displayed. By printing all the images uploaded in a 24-hour period, I visualize the feeling of drowning in representations of other peoples’ experiences.” Not gonna lie, I didn’t really get the whole “visualization of drowning in representations of other peoples’ experiences” thing. What I DID get was a giant f***ing waste of photo paper. Smooth move, Erik. Those could’ve been nudes! Hit the jump for several more shots.

Wheeeeee!: Google’s ‘Do A Barrel Roll’ Trick

Go to Google, type in ‘do a barrel roll’. The page barrel rolls. This isn’t rocket surgery, folks. Google and Google (this one should auto-roll for you) Thanks to Tarkin, Boogie Jon and bb, who don’t use Google for anything but reading the autofill responses when they’re bored. That…wow, that’s some serious f***ing boredom.

Faceybooks: Never Not Tracking That Ass

Facebook just got outed for including (non Girl Scout ) cookies that have the potential to track a user’s movement across the interwebs even when signed out of the site . I…feel violated. Get it? I just sat on a dog toy! When Australian programmer Nik Cubrilovic first blogged on Sunday about how Facebook logout didn’t seem to actually, uh, log out, the company went into damage control mode, insisting that “Facebook does not track users across the web,” which was pretty funny given that Facebook has a tracking feature its CEO literally calls “Facebook Across the Web.” The company also said, “logged out cookies… are used for safety and protection…” Except it turns out one cookie wasn’t used for “safety and protection,” as a Facebook engineer has admitted to Cubrilovic now that the press storm is subsiding. One cookie, “a_user,” continued to report your user ID back to Facebook after you logged out, until you shut down your browser entirely. The cookie was only visible to Facebook, but the site could have used it to track your visits to other sites if it wished, since a great many websites feature “Facebook Connect” widgets that load content from facebook.com — transmitting cookies to Facebook each time they do so. Oh shishi Facebook, you bein’ bad! *calling Zuckerberg* Hey Zuck — it’s me, the Geekologie Writer. THE GEEKOLOGIE WRITER, DAMMIT, DON’T ACT LIKE YOU DON’T KNOW WHO I AM! Huh? No Y, it’s with an I-E at the end. Listen Zuck, let me cut to the chase — I’m calling about something really serious today. I need you to float me $10-million. Why You Never Really Log Out of Facebook [gawker] Thanks to Joe and JoeLickASac, who, wow, two different Joes on one tip, what the chances of that happening?! “Not small enough to be worth mentioning.” Oh.

P0rn Stars Opening Adult Content Gaming Site

Sexy finger-biting: you give it a bad name. In between getting boned or whatever scenes, p0rn stars Alana Evans and Misti Dawn are apparently hard core gamers . So what are they doing? Opening a website that combines video game reviews, playthroughs and a bunch of other garbo, but with toplessness . Now listen: I love man as much as the next boobs, but this shit sounds lame. ” Um…GW? ” I MEANT WHAT I SAID. Evans came up with the initial idea to combine pornography and game coverage, and invited Dawn to the project straight away. “Misti is probably the most dedicated gamer girl I know, so she was the obvious choice as my partner,” said Evans. The launch date - September 20 - is also no accident: Evans chose the site’s launch date to coincide with the release of Gears of War 3. “I am a huge Gears of War fan,” Evans explained. Gamers will be able to watch and communicate with Evans and Dawn in real-time via Xbox Live and PlayStation Network Call me oldschool, but I like to keep my video games and p0rn separate, you know? It’s like, until we have lifelike virtual reality sex games, why blur the line? “Pfft, what’s the worst that could happen?” HA — obviously you’ve never come home to a roommate masturbating to Resident Evil before. *ahem* Derek! NSFW NSFW PwnedByGirls Official Site NSFW NSFW via Porn Stars Start Topless Gaming Site [escapistmagazine] Thanks to Grant, who agrees the Leisure Suit Larry franchise was the perfect blend of video games and sex.

Doggelgänger Facial Recognition Matches You With An Adoptable Pet That Looks Like You

You know how they say people look like their dogs ? That’s because most people are ugly (alternatively: pugly ). I don’t look anything like my dog . I look like something Michelangelo would have carved out of marble with a diamond dong, and she looks like she’s licking her vaj and doesn’t care if I’m watching WHICH I’M TRYING NOT TO. Pedigree’s New Zealand branch hired design agency Colenso BBDO to come up with a new way to get the word out on pup adoptions. Using the idea that dog owners tend to look like their pets, Colenso teamed up with NEC to develop Doggelgnger, “Human to canine pairing software, designed to connect real homeless dogs to their human doubles.” You can go to the site and use your webcam or an uploaded photo to see what dogs you look like, which, SPOILER: ugly ones. At least that’s what it gave me and I’m what 4/5 dentists gynecologists would describe as “devilishly handsome” and “not supposed to be in here”. Hit the jump for a couple more shots and the link to try it for yourself.

British Gov. Hacks al-Qaeda Website, Replaces Bomb Making How-To w/ Cupcake Recipe

Your wife is gonna be PISSED when she finds out you blew up the sewing machine. The British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) were able to hack an al-Qaeda website showing followers how to make homemade bombs , and replaced the instructions with recipes for “The Best Cupcakes in America”. I’m a sucker for red velvet! When followers tried to download the 67-page colour magazine, instead of instructions about how to “Make a bomb in the Kitchen of your Mom” by “The AQ Chef” they were greeted with garbled computer code. The code, which had been inserted into the original magazine by the British intelligence hackers, was actually a web page of recipes for “The Best Cupcakes in America” published by the Ellen DeGeneres chat show. It included a recipe for the Mojito Cupcake - “made of white rum cake and draped in vanilla buttercream”- and the Rocky Road Cupcake - “warning: sugar rush ahead!” Be honest — who else is craving cupcakes now? Ha — everyone. Oh — except one dude in the back. “I’m on a diet, I can only eat muffins.” *lifting shirt to reveal muffin-top* COME GETCHA SOME! *truffle shuffle* MI6 attacks al-Qaeda in ‘Operation Cupcake’ [telegraph] Thanks to Christine, who claims to have once had a cupcake with a Snickers bar baked inside. WOW, could I be any more jealous?! SPOILER: Only if it had sprinkles.
