As long as there has been email and Usenet, funny things have spread virally across the Internet. But with the rise of YouTube and other social video sharing sites, we’re now getting funny videos passed around on a regular basis. YouTube and sites like it have enabled a sort of global, crowdsourced version of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” to take place around the clock, making stars out of anyone… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Mashable Discovery Date : 08/10/2007 21:15 Number of articles : 52

July 2, 2011 No Comment
Drama. Rather than leaving well enough alone — at least long enough for its lawyers to properly enjoy the Independence Day weekend — Apple has seemingly kicked its ongoing legal battle with Samsung up a notch. According to a filing discovered by FOSS Patents , the perturbed in Cupertino have filed a motion for a preliminary injunction with the US District Court for the Northern District of California. Interestingly, the motion hones in on just four devices: the Infuse 4G, Galaxy S 4G, Droid Charge, and Galaxy Tab 10.1. It’s a pretty bold move on Apple’s part — if this thing holds, and it’s determined that the aforesaid products may well indeed be infringing on Apple’s rights, Sammy could be forced to yank those products from US shelves within a couple of months. If it falls through, however, Apple’s entire case will likely take a serious hit. We’d ponder why everyone can’t just get along, but at this point, we’re guessing the act of forgiveness has become a foreign concept for both parties. Apple seeks preliminary injunction on Infuse 4G, Galaxy S 4G, Droid Charge, and Galaxy Tab 10.1 originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 02 Jul 2011 10:04:00 EDT.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) told the senate that Congress needed to act on the deficit by increasing taxes.

Via Time’s Adam Sorensen, this is pretty entertaining. It’s Ed Miliband, leader of Britain’s Labor Party, who’s obviously memorized the talking point he wants to make and then proceeds to make it in precisely the same words five times in a row to every question asked. One gets the impression that if the BBC interviewer asked him how his kids were getting on at school, his answer would be, “For the… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Kevin Drum Discovery Date : 01/07/2011 16:08 Number of articles : 3

July 2, 2011 No CommentWhy on earth is Michele Bachmann holding a town hall meeting 1200 miles away from her district — and who paid for it? Did this come out of campaign funds, or her congressional budget? Michele Bachmann, the congressional representative of Minnesota’s sixth district, will be holding a “town hall meeting” at DiGiorgio Campus Center at Winthrop University in Rock Hill on June 29. Nevermind that Winthrop University is roughly 1200 miles away from her district; she’s running for PRESIDENT. Keep in mind that this is not a “meet and greet” or “backyard chat” as her other SC stops are titled, but a “Town Hall Meeting,” where representatives in Congress are giving their ear to citizen concerns about policy. Why in the world is she having such a meeting in Rock Hill, SC, 1200 miles from Washington, Minnesota, where not a single person is expected to have any vested interest in the actions of congress as they effect the sixth district in Minnesota? She’d have to be a real moron to pay for this with anything but campaign cash, so I’ll assume she’s trying to have it both ways: She wants to hold campaign rallies with a thin veneer of official function.

RABAT- Morocco’s King Mohammed scored a landslide victory in a referendum on a reformed constitution he proposed to placate ‘Arab Spring’ protests as voters defied critics who said it did little to curb his powers. Preliminary results of Friday’s poll showed 98.5 percent of voters approved the text, Interior Minister Taib Cherkaoui declared on state media, citing returns from 94 percent of polling booths. Final results could take several days. The charter explicitly grants executive powers to the government but retains the king at the helm of the cabinet, army, religious authorities and the…
