Uh-oh: A Taser stun gun, capable of shocking three people without being reloaded, was unveiled Monday in front of hundreds of law enforcement officers who applauded after watching six rounds of the barbed wire fired at metal targets. Notice how they applauded.  I feel like applause in this instance is not good, given what Tasers are used [...] Continue Reading

In failing to remain the home of self-indulgence, Myspace announced it plans to mix the social networking site up by making it an online platform for video gamers.  Facebook’s success has led to Myspace’s downfall as “a place for friends”.  That said, Myspace music is still a solid spot to find quality bands that might [...] Continue Reading
