But they were caught in the act - by technology.Sounds like a moment meant to stay private, doesn't it? These days, though, technology - from Twitter and Facebook to text messaging and e-mail - is making illicit affairs even more illicit.MCT ran a story about how crazy it is that the people getting caught are in the public eye. In the story, they mentioned these five people. Whether they're ultimately guilty or not, they've all been accused of or associated with letting technology mess up a good thing. And in...
Beyond Tiger Woods Apology: Has Technology Rendered Cheating Obsolete?
2009-12-02 22:43:00 Tiger Woods hasn't exactly come out and said what he did. Sure, he's plenty sorry, but for what?

Making matters worse, one of the supposed mistresses is talking and claiming she's got the goods on the golfer. Sexting. Plus a voicemail message (c/o Us Magazine) in which a man 24 year-old Los Angeles cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs says is Woods begs her to change her outgoing greeting just in case wifey calls.

Thanksgiving '09
2009-11-27 22:18:00 Yet again, Tefft was in charge of the Technology Thanksgiving Potluck this year. Last year's theme was Gay Marriage. Not necessarily for or against it, just simply gay marriage in general. Her themes are always very loosely tied to something we might be thankful for, or possibly not thankful for, like the theme two years previous: Pesticides Cause Cancer. This year's theme was New Moon from the Twilight series. Apparently Tefft is a big fan, along with the millions of pre-pubescent teen girls in America. I wasn't sure what the Twilight series had to do with being thankful for anything, but again, Tefft doesn't really adhere to convention. Everyone had to draw from a hat (one of Tefft's flamboyant, flappy brimmed sun hats) to determine which team we'd be on. Either Team Jacob or Team Edward. I asked Tefft to explain the difference. She looked offended that I didn't already know. I explained to her that I was not a 15-year-old girl. She agreed that I wasn...

What do Choppers, Jihadists & Anti-Depressants Have in Common?
2009-10-30 02:09:00 So here I was on a lazy Saturday morning barely awake switching on my brand new Bravia for the latest international news as I was smelling the freshly brewed Colombian coffee.� It seemed very pleasant outside and I was looking forward to the nice warm weather and a walk by the beach. I was thinking about the fun I'd have for the rest of the day far away from my cubicle when all of a sudden my tranquillity was interrupted by something that sounded like a big explosion. For a microsecond I felt like I was in the middle of Kabul. I looked at the TV in case BBC was showing the latest Taliban attack, but to my avail, it was showing the latest results from the Ashes. Then another loud bang almost made me dropped my precious coffee on my Polo robe. ?What The Flying FAK', I thought? I was neither living in Kabul nor in Baghdad and BBC was just showing freaking cricket! read more
