The hip-hop revolution did indeed happen live, a revolution Scott-Heron himself helped to pioneer. The legendary poet and artist passed away Friday in New York City. Dubbed the Godfather of Rap, a moniker he so hated, Gil Scott-Heron laid the foundation for hip-hop and rap music by fusing spoken-word poetry with percussive beats. He hit

‘Tis a sad day in the world of Google … at least for developers who use any of a handful of ill-fated APIs. As the search giant’s API list has grown in recent months, it’s making the decision to cull a few in the effort of “spring cleaning.” In fact, a grand total of seven new APIs were launched during Google I/O alone, but it looks as if the end is nigh for the Blog Search API, Books Data API, Image Search API, News Search API, Patent Search API, Safe Browsing API (v1 only), Translate API, Transliterate API, Video Search API and Virtual Keyboard API. Of those, Wave is most unsurprising , but Translate likely hurts the most — particularly for jetsetters who relied on those baked-in services to wrap their heads around various tongues. According to Goog, the Translate API has been officially deprecated “due to the substantial economic burden caused by extensive abuse.” A pretty ominous phrase, to be sure, and further proof that a few rotten apples can ruin things for the whole of us. Hit the links below to get a glimpse of the full damage — we’re warning you, it ain’t pretty. Google pinpoints shutdown dates for Wave, Translate APIs (amongst others) originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 28 May 2011 17:25:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

Click here to view this media Here’s a guy who said secession should be an option for states as recently as November of 2010, who thinks states should be in charge of Social Security and Medicare, and has balanced the Texas state budget with federal funds while refusing to take federal funds. Yep. that’s Texas Governor Rick Perry, current head of the Republican Governors’ Association, and wingnut extraordinaire. This valiant break-up-the-federal-government hardcore states rights guy is now considering some new options, like… running for President in 2012 ? Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Friday he will consider a run for the Republican presidential nomination. “I’m going to think about it” after the Texas legislative session ends on Monday, Perry told reporters in Austin after a bill signing. Perry added, “But I think about a lot of things.” Perry’s remarks come on the heels of a Fox News interview this week in which he admitted that he is “tempted” to run for president. “Oh, I can’t say I’m not tempted, but the fact is this is something I don’t want to do,” Perry said. For all of our sakes, let’s hope he doesn’t want to do it so much he drops the idea altogether. Though I confess this much: It would be very entertaining to watch Perry, Bachmann and Sarah Palin “debate”.

Bill thoroughly explains what the term “turncoat” means (it is not a synonym for “traitor”) and, as thoroughly, demonstrates how Obama’s foreign policy is exactly about “switching sides.” (h/t HotAir) BTW, how is that “Arab spring” going, Barry?

RIP: Legendary poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron — alternately labeled the father, forefather, and godfather of hip hop — passed away this afternoon in New York’s St Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital. He was 62. Scott-Heron’s UK publisher Jamie Byng tweeted the news earlier this evening: “ Gil Scott-Heron’s death is NOT a rumour.
