YOU CAN'T DO THIS ON TWITTER
2012-02-03 19:03:00
Twitter is in the spotlight because of its new and controversial per-country blocking system--the power for governments to censor and withhold public tweets that violate local laws. Although the specifics are a bit murky, according to Foreign Policy magazine, here are 5 things that you can't/shouldn't do on Twitter in the United States, for they can lead to some serious legal trouble: Cyberbullying, pranking police, coordinating unlawful behavior, threatening violence and not removing tweets by request. Check out the full implications of each here and stay out of Twitter trouble!
SOUL TRAIN DOCUMENTARY
2012-02-02 17:24:00
In lieu of the passing of Don Cornelius (1936-2012), creator and host of one of the most influential music and dance shows in the history of television, Soul Train, we thought that it'd only be right to highlight the VH1 documentary that tells the story behind it all. Check out Soul Train: The Hippest Train In America to find out what made The Don such a remarkable figure for people across the United States and even around the world and why it was all so revolutionary!

WAR ON PHOTOGRAPHY
2012-01-25 03:21:00
American lawyer, Mickey H. Osterreicher, wants the public to know that ever since 9/11 besides, terror, there has been an ever-increasing "War On Photography." According to the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) attorney, U.S. authorities on federal and local fronts have been clamping down on the First Amendment rights of photo journalists and civilians alike by interfering with, detaining, and even arresting them on the basis of anti-terrorism. Mr. Osterreicher wants to bring light to the injustice by writing about it--particularly issues concerning photography and the law. Interested readers can check out more information via his column on JPG Mag, his Twitter account, or the NPPA blog. Get informed!
ROLLS-ROYCE RECORD YEAR
2012-01-09 15:47:00
Not sure about everyone else, but when we hear the phrase "global recession" we pretty much assume that all world markets are taking some kind of hit, no? Well, according to Rolls-Royce sales in 2011, such isn't necessarily the case for luxury car sales, in fact, the company reported its most successful year to date! The infamous makers of the Phantom sold a whopping 3,538 vehicles last year, 391 more vehicles than their last record year in 1978. It's also highly relevant to note that sales growth in worldwide markets had much to do with the feat. The company reports a 47-percent increase in the Asian Pacific region, 17 in North America, 23 in the Middle East, and a 30-percent growth at home in the UK. Astonishing. Further proof that while things may be globally awry, upper class spending's got more than a healthy pulse!

TELECOM ACT DEMISE
2012-01-06 15:38:00
Just last month, communications giant, Verizon, signed a $3.6 billion dollar deal with "competitors" Comcast, Time Warner, and Bright House Networks. Experts argue that the alliance unofficially spells out the end of the United States' Telecom Act of 1996--a congressional bill that promised consumers fair and competitive tele-communications services. And now a second part of that multi-billion dollar deal is speculated to draw out how each company will actually stay out of one another's way and possibly sell each other's services to overlapping customers--in other words, a cleverly disguised monopoly, as the New York Times reports:

GOVERNMENT ON TWITTER
2011-12-28 15:00:00
Advocacy group the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has issued the United States Department of Homeland Security a lawsuit. The reason? They claim that the government is monitoring blogs, message boards, and social media platforms like Twitter without the public's consent. The scrutiny is said to go so far as to pinpoint specific flag words that, in turn, trigger the agency to track and monitor a user's online activity. Hmm, you don't say?

Unheralded Benefits of the United States Space Program
2011-04-22 08:00:00
Ladies and gentlemen, I have been asked to speak to you today regarding the civilian benefits of the space program. Before considering any changes to the funding level of NASA, I urge you to carefully consider some of the many benefits that have directly resulted from the space program. Tang. Teflon. Velcro. What do these items have in common? They were all used by astronauts in the United States space program. Did we invent them? Not exactly. But we used these products in ways that no one had ever imagined. Before the space program, no one had ever used Velcro to allow astronauts to walk on the ceiling of a spaceship. Before the space program, no one had ever used Teflon to keep astronauts from sticking to the floor of a spaceship. And no one had ever eaten a mixture of Tang and astronaut blood for space breakfast before Neil Armstrong caught the space madness and killed Steve, the fourth Apollo crew member. And while we didn't invent cordless power tools, we did pioneer their...
