It was announced that Marvel Entertainment will be acquired by The Walt Disney Company this morning in a deal that's estimated at $4 Billion, according to TechCrunch who reported the news.Let me say that again, The Avengers, Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Thor and every color-shade of the Hulk is now property of Disney. Apparently both company's respective boards

Below is a flowchart I made for determining if it'd be wise to forge a committed relationship with a girl I -- hypothetically -- am dating for some extended amount of time. This entry essentially gives nothing back in terms of pushing humanity forward. In fact, it probably takes a giant leap backwards and will likely come back to haunt me in future relationships. Despite that, I'm going to share

Ask me why I've decided to implement a design overhaul of this site after a six-month-and-twenty-day absence and you'll likely get a long-ish response that's not really worth the air that was expended on it. The short explanation is that I've been wanting to rework some of the things on this blog for at least a year but have either been too lazy or consumed with more interesting things to do (

I've stayed away from doing regular content features on this blog because too often I see them run dry of good ideas and more or less just end up sucking. So the sheer irony that the first feature I'm implementing is all about Web content that just plain fails.Below, we have a feature done by Entertainment Weekly in which they offer a slide show of pictures from what they regard as "BIG" movies.

I'm essentially over the idea that giant media organizations, like the New York Times, will ever truly get their digital audiences. This is because they treat the services they provide like chores rather than rich additions to their news.See the example below: (Click for larger image)And the *best* part about that screen shot is that NYT has had nearly two months to update their “sign up for

Kevin Rose does not want the title of editor. In fact, he's quoted in articles as saying his distaste for the position is partially what fueled his desire to start a site like digg. Allow me to quote from this month's Inc. Magazine cover story about him:On December 13, 2004, Rose got in front of the camera and offered a pointed critique of Slashdot, a tech news site that would become Digg's chief

In case you missed it, my latest Geeks of Doom feature "Four Real-Life Things Scarier than Halloween" hit the front page of social news sharing site digg.com Halloween afternoon. It was probably the best lead-in to a Friday night I could have ever asked for. [That's complete trash.

By now I feel everyone remotely interested in the political debate for our next President has heard about the "private e-mail account" Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin used during her typical work hours. (NOTE: There are actually three accounts, the first two were deleted soon after the media discovered the story.)

A while back you may recall a post about a fundamental change to the way I view government in this country. It happened when the U.S. Department of Intelligence wised the hell up and realized the huge hotbed of criminal activity that calls itself World of Warcraft. Well, after that day everything just became much clearer mostly because I sort of can't tell the difference between the two

Somewhere a group of cognitive scientists and researchers are quietly patting their backs after presenting evidence that the Internet is changing the way we read and, in turn, on a genetic "gushy brain connectors" level. If change is the enemy of typical, and this is not about the Obama Presidential campaign (it was not), then this headline lured me in immediately:"Is Google Making Us Stupid?"

Important people with interesting, relevant things to say, seem like the type that would be given a highly sophisticated newswire service that was capable of updating new information from any location, at any time of day. Yet, what is important to you may mean nothing to me and so on and so forth. So who deserves a newswire?How about everyone - and at no extra charge beyond regular communication

News of the Columbia Broadcasting Station (CBS) buying out CNET did come as a bit of a surprise to me. However, the more I reflect on it the more I think it will probably be remember as one of the smarter business moves of the era. Here's why:Why it's good for CBS: Once the pillar of quality information, CBS is now known more for their hour-long Crime dramas and high way billboard advertising.

I'm sure many people heard the news that the CIA recently decided Second Life had become a liability and a possible hotbed for terrorists.

Zombie movies, which can be classified as apocalyptic fiction, have always been a good source of fuel for making me think about things in a different way.

A new breed of "hackintosh" computers have surfaced at a much more frequent rate.

Remember when radio stations would splice together a word from several different songs to make one singing sentence? Some bored soul, with much more time on his hands than I, created a Web site that will magically translate text into song.Provided you visit the site, type in "Baby, I love to rock so much it hurts with a good feeling inside" and press play. I basically chose words based on how

In reference to CNN's report about the kitty who can sense or "predict" death, I must call bullshit.Check it out here.I understand it's considered a common practice for *ahem* serious news organizations to run the occasional feature story, but this is just utter nonsense.If the Kitty Harbinger story runs on magazine style broadcasts (e.g. Dateline) on Sunday night, then I'd probably find this

****UPDATE BELOW****When mediums collide the effects aren't often easily predicted. Such is the case with the recent Democratic Debate on YouTube, which featured candidates answering questions from citizens via their web cam....and an extremely disturbing image of genitalia.During the debate the "goatse" image was flashed for a fraction of a second, which had candidates flinching. Yet, apparently

In a way, Ron Paul is a lot like that mother figure who screams at you for not doing your laundry in the month before you're shipped out to college. Of course my mother always did my laundry all the way up until the end. I completely ignored her requests to teach me how to do this mind numbingly easy task.And then I learned how to do my laundry.Paul would argue that America is more than capable

There are certain things I want to do in real life that cannot be done. First on the long list of things is flying. It will never be possible for me to zip around the earth at speeds greater than a speeding bullet, but if there ever was a way to do such a thing, I would surely make every effort humanly possible to ensure that I could do so. And this sentiment is nothing new. Asking anyone in my

Facebook's open application integration certainly made their social networking site fresh again. I'll be the first to admit that I was teetering on the edge leaving the site all together before this wave of applications. While I don't care for the majority of them, I was tickled that someone created integration for digg.com.But I have beef with their 2008 Presidential Election tool, which hurts

Dear newspaper editors:When people started blogging, I fear all the editorial departments across the country assumed it was just a bunch of inspired citizens who were pretending to be journalists despite their lack of formaleducation and ethics. It turns out that these bloggers didn't need either of those things to be successful because they we willing to evolve, self-educate and communicate. So

Most people get comfortable using something they started with. The person who cuts your hair, your mechanic and that first girlfriend who gained 80 lbs since you first met-- these are all examples of why people will continue on with something comfortable even though better options exist. The same is true for computer users.As a Mac geek trying to explain why Windows is clunky and horrible in

There are some ridiculously large sums of money that are well spent by the government even if it is viewed by most of the public as "wasted."If they want to spend a couple of billion dollars on a SERIOUS project, that's fine. If it doesn't perform exactly how its intended to do? G'head, throw some more money at it. Still not working?Well then it better provide for hilarious comedy, like the money

When the first 2008 debate aired on MSNBC last week, I had every intention of watching it. But I ended up passing out 30 minutes into the broadcast. The next day I stumble upon a Three-minute video clip from some guy by the name of Mike Gravel.The title read: "Some of these people frighten me."What a hook. I watched the entire debate via YouTube shortly there after.The man with the mouthI

I am still waiting for an update from Joost that will add support for my Power PC Mac Powerbook. But since I still have a PC running Windows XP, I couldn't wait to test it out. **Since this is just a beta version, I won't complain about the bugginess or the A/V not being in sync.

Well, The folks over at Joost started passing out more beta invitations, including one to me. I'm not really sure how many they sent, but I told them I'd love to blog about testing it out since I was a journalist with an affinity for technology.Joost, for all of you who don't know, is an Internet T.V. program that offers high quality streaming television for free.

I believe Jon Stewart said it best: “why do all the fringe candidates make the most sense?”And truth be told, they usually do. That's what costs them any real chance at winning the primary. Thankfully the Internet is set to have a much larger influence on public opinion than in previous election years. So naturally, the first group of people you really want to impress is the tech geeks. But they

It feels like the '70s today. And I say this will a great deal of disdain. I hate that decade with a fiery passion. Its my least favorite of all. But after walking into a H.G. Hills Food Store in a lower income area of Franklin, it seems like I took a ride in Doc Brown's Delorean.The whole reason I wound up in this place is because I wanted to be a good coworker and contribute to the coffee

Let me first say, that I am not a Republican nor am I pro war.But then again, neither is Frank Miller (necessarily).My proof of this can be found in several essays the man has written against President George W.

Wanna kill grammar?Would you instead settle for silencing the copyediting Nazi who is constantly pointing out your lack of attention to detail? The last time I checked, it was illegal to kill anyone in all 50 states for bleeding on your articles with that bastardous red ink pen.Relax, having poor grammar, spelling and style isn’t entirely your fault.OK, mostly it is.

There's a certain brand of apple geek who is counting down the moments until their contracts run up over at sprint/verizon/T-mobile. They want that iPhone so badly it may actually kill them. It doesn't matter that the price is around $600 or even that it cannot be insured by the place where you buy it. These geeks are just happy to be able to purchase a phone with a name that start's with an "i."
