“We be trolling, and hatin’, we be writing dirty.” You know I am not talking about the fantasy trolls that live under a bridge or the tiny 90’s toys that had neon pointy hair and jewels in their belly buttons. I am talking about the trolls that invade the Internet to find anything and everything to write their poisoned words upon. To some they are quite entertaining, clever and full of responses as if they stayed up night after night preparing for an ultimate battle. To others they are the parasites of the web, multiplying in grand numbers, faster than bunnies or fleas, except… this breed…

Tired of reruns? The Olympics or perhaps you are simply looking for a show to escape into without commercial interruption.  There are some gems on Netflix that you may have missed when they aired on TV or simply due to the lack of satellite, luckily with Netflix our Technology has advanced enough that as long as we have access to the Internet we have access to movies and television for the infamous eight bucks a month tag line. Television is not the same anymore, not that there was ever TV shows that captivated the eye on basic cable, with NYPD Blue being the exception in the 90’s, crime drama, gut wrenching,…

Imagine walking into a store where it was difficult to see the products. Your eyes begin to strain from squinting and you try to do everything you possibly can to make the products more visible, but nothing worked; would you still want to buy a product there? Now imagine that instead of walking into a store it is one you come across online and the exact same scenario took place, would it make any difference in your buying decision? I don’t think so. Customers expect the same type of attention being paid to what your business sells online as it does to those products sold only in stores. Images are a representation…

Most of us already know that StumbleUpon is a discovery engine that recommends and personalizes web content based on users’ personal interests, social networking principles, and peers. As a result, virtual communities and networks are created of Web surfers connected by common interests. …

The big news announcement of the day is that MPEG LA, license holder for a number of high profile video standards has declared all h.264 video will be royalty free, so long as the video is provided to the end user for free. The technical implications of this are lengthy, dull and tedious. The short version? You can now watch porn on any device you want without any additional plugins (cough.. Flash). With an upsurge in mobile devices, the web has been calling out for a standard movie format to call its own without having to rely on third party codecs or plugins. With no open source formats available, each…

No self-respecting Internet user can possibly have missed the many and varied Hitler parodies based on scenes from Constantin Films’ 2004 film, Der Untergang (“Downfall”). They’ve been everywhere, with one particularly hilarious example depicting the defeated German leader’s reaction on hearing the iPod touch lacks a camera. Now they’re gone. YouTube has begun removing videos that feature content from the movie because Constantin Films has suddenly decided to use Google’s Content I.D. system to take down the clips. Which is strange, as these things have been flying around the…

It is made using approximately 210 (count ‘em) black keyboard keys per bag and ships inside a week. Beyond the clutch bag, Neatorama also offers…

In much the same way everyone love colonoscopies, we all love our cellphone carriers. With gouging, hidden fees, ridiculous charges for texting and more, companies like AT&T and Verizon inspire hate like few others. But hope is on the way, and all it takes (for now) is an iPhone, a little Wi-Fi and a simple $1 app. Line2 is an communication app modeled after the iPhone’s own phone software that, as the name suggests, adds a second line with its own phone number to your Apple smartphone. Well-suited to small businesses, the service by company Toktumi  also boasts features like Voicemail and…
