Yahoo! Buzz was launched on Monday with a lot of buzz. Being leaked information about on repeated occasions, everybody had their hopes high about the Yahoo! branded Digg clone.

There's no other way of reporting this except with a big grin all over the face, because of the target and the message left behind by the hackers. It's one of those good jokes that might have a very unfortunate ending should the hacker ever get caught, and it would be a shame, really.The Metropolitan Police... |

Contrary to popular belief that has geeky looking guys standing in front of the monitor for hours and doing stuff that matters, a Pew Internet & American Life Project study has showed that it's actually girls that get most involved with the web and all that it stands for.

I mean it, that's the way to go about your business if you're the founder and executive of an adult photography startup, you're sexy and strongly believe in what you're doing. Sadly enough, I wasn't able to get access to the ranks of the site's testers that are still tweaking it, so I ca... |

The BBC website was officially launched 10 years ago and it has been the address to go to for the top news from the most reliable sources ever since.

I'm thinking it must be something about human nature in general that makes us kind of greedy when it comes to getting paid. The more money we receive for a lesser amount of work, the better and I'm not saying that thinking about that is wrong, I'm just saying that it's not something that's l... |

It was wildly successful when it was rolled out, so now they are thinking of expanding it. It was a means of search like nothing that had been seen before at that time and that's why it was so successful. It was the simplest idea possible that came just at the right time, that's why it was the best means of... |

I've been told an interesting story under the QT once, about the fact that we're still using DVDs because most of the porn that is for sale at the moment, on the internet, is available on them, and that when the big boys decide that they feel like moving to the next largest storage capacity medium, the who... |

MySpace has always been known to have the shoddy, crappy layout that you just have to put up with, because of the many features that the site offers. If it was eye-candy you were after, you'd either be off playing some fully supported game on your latest FX 8800GT or you'd be browsing the wallpapers over at... |

What can I say, Divorce360.com is a humdinger of an idea, everybody is left feeling void on the inside after a simple breakup, not to mention a divorce to end a marriage that started so nicely and happily and ends in tears and despair.

It looks like all work and no play makes a Googler be less than happy every day. Chris Wetherell from the Google Reader dev team had an entry on the official Reader blog that made me sigh with sadness.

Now that's really weird. I haven't heard of such a hack going on in a very, very long time. Nowadays hackers are driven by financial considerations and those that hack sites and modify them (without anything being related to money) usually do it to send out a message. That was the case of the Turkish hacker... |

This is the story of Liao Peigui from Danzhou city, China. This guy was no average Joe - he had a lot of brains, as he was a computer engineer at only 20 years old! The sad part about all this is the fact that instead of using his great mind for a good purpose, he used it to scam people with a clone site. This is cer... |
