Goodbye Usenet, it’s been nice …

In another textbook case of 88 bad apples spoils the entire 60,000 bunch (give or take, depending upon which usenet reflector you ask), “Time Warner is blocking all USENET access, entirely.”

Google Health: Terms and Conditions

Introductory sardonics slightly updated on 6/9/08. :-)
Yeah, so just gloss over the fine print below. Granted, technically and actually, the T&C’s are indeed prominently displayed on the Google Health sign-up page, in readily-ignorable undersized textarea boxes that might scroll on forever. So, just go ahead and click on the big, …

Ignore that Little Free Market Capitalist Farce Behind the Curtain!

“I am the great and powerful unfettered market!”
Oh, except when The Central Planners decide it needs some Fed Fettering to keep them in power! The quotation below is courtesy of the indomitable Dennis Gartman, whom I hold in the highest possible regard; and yet, inadvertently, he provides here the PRECISE …

A Case of Digital Homocide: You’ve been gDisappeared …

From the “if I had a penny for every time I’ve ranted on this topic” department: A True Google Living Nightmare.
A similar thing happened to me on Yahoo two years ago. A normal user would never have a chance in hell of recovering their account. Alas, perhaps there are …

Top 10 Prospects for First Gen Transhumans?

The 10 Worst Jobs in America are also widely regarded as the “10 Fastest Growing Opportunities,” for Americans, though euphemistically characterized by economists as “Service Sector Employment.” Friends, this is a key transhumanist issue, if not THE fundamental issue. If we aren’t smart enough to architect a transcapitalist society that …

Implants for “Think to Search”

Ha-ha, funny-funny. On the other hand, if you believe that “think to search” isn’t coming, you’re not paying attention. Then again, we’ve long known that it helps to soften the blow for the earthling masses to make it a funny-funny ha-ha for awhile, first. Meta-Props to Dewayne for this one!

What does Google mean by “Don’t Be Evil” anyway?

It’s fairly clear that Google wants to be the repository of choice for all human genome information, seeing as it envisions itself the indexer and keeper of ALL the world’s information. This strikes mea as a responsibility that would warrant just a wee bit of additional due diligence beyond wooing …

Bandwidth? Bah! Who Needs It?

What friggin’ planet do these people live on? Nearly 2008 and in the earliest stages of the Race for Dominance of the Metaverse, and yet *still* these morons are peddling this pablum?
“We need significant evidence that such a [100Mbps broadband] network is required and I don’t think it exists yet,” …

Or maybe even a few dozen … or hundreds of them … in both urban and rural settings, all across America. Also, please note the ‘histrionics’ tag for this post and approach accordingly.

Radical Life Extension is Pointless
