The Men Who Stole the World →
azspot:
A decade ago, four young men changed the way the world works. They did this not with laws or guns or money but with software: they had radical, disruptive ideas, which they turned into code, which they released on the Internet for free. These four men, not one of whom finished college, laid the foundations for much of the digital-media environment we currently inhabit. Then, for all...
The Pentagon And Wasteful Defense Spending →
This year, the United States will spend at least $700 billion on defense and security. Adjusting for inflation, that’s more than America has spent on defense in any year since World War II—more than during the Korean war, the Vietnam war, or the Reagan military buildup. Much of that enormous sum results from spending increases under presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Since 2001,...

Hype Tumblr: What it's like to be in OK GO →
crumbler:
Being in OK Go these days is basically a big pile of sad.
To stay afloat, the band has recently: led a street parade through Los Angeles sponsored by RangeFlip and Flip; created a segment for the Today Show in which the anchors are placed into booths and showered with ping-pong…
So this.
U.S. Corporate Profits Hit Record in Third Quarter →
The nation’s workers may be struggling, but American companies just had their best quarter ever.
American businesses earned profits at an annual rate of $1.659 trillion in the third quarter, according to a Commerce Department report released Tuesday. That is the highest figure recorded since the government began keeping track over 60 years ago, at least in nominal or noninflation-adjusted...
I started playing Minecraft yesterday...
I spent the past two months adamantly avoiding this game because I knew that once I started playing, I would not be able to stop. I think I spent 10 hours playing from the moment it randomly generated my first “World.” I built a house out of glass at the base of a waterfall, dug a hole in the middle down to the bottom of the world and mined gold and diamonds, crafted iron armor,...

This is pretty funny coming from a guy that’s raising taxes on small businesses, making it much harder for entrepreneurs like myself to keep being entrepreneurs. How about instead of giving me a week of fake affirmation,...
It's hard to explain how awesome Goldeneye: Wii...
so here are 3 good reasons:
The cinematic scenes flow smoothly with the gameplay, no “cut” scenes.
Full voice acting done by Daniel Craig himself.
The theme song is sung by Nicole Sherzinger.

Also, here's a link to a few songs I have put up over a year ago: http://www.myspace.com/pixelarmymusic I don't even think I remember how to log in to that myspace.
I haven't been playing with my DS10 much since I got an iPhone, so many great synths on there!

Maybe a dubstep remix of a dubstep song is too much dubstep…
The ACLU Stands Up for Pro-Lifers—Really →
Bradley Smith, a law professor at Capital University and former chairman of the Federal Elections Commission, says the ACLU is absolutely right to take on the Ohio law. “Good lawyers know how to game the system,” he says. “You file a complaint, accusing your opponent of making a false statement. When an OEC panel finds ‘probable cause’ to investigate, you then tell...
reblog-o-mania asked: Hey I just downloaded your EP and I'm listening to it now. It's so good. I was kinda pissed because I was going to submit some music to the Free Music blog, and mine is also exclusively DS10 music, but you got to it first (100% my fault for procrastinating). I ain't even mad though now that I've heard your music, it's 10 times better.
WatchThis is so perfect and it’s so simple and I seriously need to make better music.
