Doesn't really matter. She was 14. When adults do creepy shit with a 14-year-old, the moral weight falls on the adult every time. The fact that the fallout has continued for years, until she was an adult, I don't find a compelling reason to blame her for anything.

So the article says. She's 14. Creepy. As. Hell.

Gawker ran a story about a 14-year-old whose picture is on damn near every "ex-GF" or "self shot" website. Shit's creepy. As. Hell. I don't know how many Giz readers have kids, but the idea that someone is beating off thinking about your kid... makes my skin crawl.

I don't really know anything about it... but if you had to do your job for a tenth of the pay and work 14-16 hours a day, six days a week, it probably wouldn't matter what the work was, or how comfortable the chairs, right?

I think that's the biggest gripe with cable. People have been clamoring for a la carte TV for decades. You always end up with 90% of the channels being stuff you don't watch, and being forced to pick a "bundle" in order to get one channel.

Honestly, I'd be willing to pay for cable, and sit through commercials, if I could watch what I wanted when I wanted. Granted, I wouldn't be willing to spend as much as the cable company thinks it's worth (because it seems to think it's worth an awful lot now, without that feature). But it would be worth something.

I looked it up! This website says the stuff thrown in the air in general is called "ejecta," and the specific materials are called "blocks," "bombs," or "pyroclastics," depending on what they're made of and whether they're molten or solid.

Yeah... Messages, Settings, Safari, App Store, Photos, Phone, Weather, YouTube, iTunes, Stocks, Voice Memos, Mail, Calculator,* Camera,* Contacts* are top-lit...

Always an outlier! My ex and I didn't change our relationship statuses for 3 or 4 months after we broke up because we were still living together and didn't want to deal with the hail of comments from people with whom we were "friends" only in the Facebook sense wondering why we still lived together (we had a lease...…

Well, whether it's worth the extra $18 or not, when AT&T first activated their GSM network upgrading was as easy as swapping SIMs. The only hiccup was if they stored their phonebook on the phone rather than the SIM, but even then most phones were limited in the number of contacts they could store, so transferring them…

Yeah... that's pretty much exactly the kind of thought process I would expect from someone who buys this car.

That makes my 2.65GPA even more impressive, right? ... right?

I remember being pissed off when the school wouldn't buy back my fifth edition of a calculus textbook because a new edition came out. What's changed in undergrad-level calculus in, say, 2,000 years? Nothing, that's what. But cover art! That's constantly evolving.

Right. But "Motorola" is simply used as shorthand for "Motorola Mobility," since the vast majority of people probably don't know the difference (and don't care), and those that do would know what the author meant anyway. So the author wasn't wrong necessarily, they just opted to be colloquial rather than technical.

And obviously the author meant Motorola Mobility as well, since he (she?) refers to all of them by their common, single-word monikers, rather than Apple Inc and Google Inc. While "Motorola Mobility" might be more technically accurate, I'm pretty sure almost everyone who cares about the distinction knows what the…

With regard to insulin, the pancreatic islet cells detect blood sugar levels as the blood perfuses the pancreas. Beta cells then release insulin in response to the level of sugar in the blood. Assuming cells inside the biocapsule could monitor the blood through the capsule, all you'd need is to put them somewhere with…

Mr. and Mrs. Dotcom had separate residences inside the house? Is that a rich people thing, or just the "people who aren't that into eachother" thing that it would be if you and your wife slept in separate rooms in a non-mansion?

Then those people have problems. If Instagram wasn't around they'd have the same problem, expressed via a different app.

I was leaving work one night and found a security guard standing idly outside one of the elevators with a plastic shim stuck in the doors to keep them open about half an inch. Always curious, I asked the guard what was up. He said the elevator was stuck and he was there to be in communication with the two guys inside,…

I've made a girl for you! She's a digital recreation of a woman. You can carry her around on this thumb drive.
