In the ongoing lawsuit Viacom has against Google/YouTube, today we get this interesting revelation: For years, Viacom continuously and secretly uploaded its content to YouTube, even while publicly complaining about its presence there. It hired no fewer than 18 different marketing agencies to upload its content to the site. It deliberately “roughed up” the videos […]
I’ve been tied up for the past 3 days rebuilding one of my servers and haven’t had time to really look at any thing news wise, which totally sucks, so I was really surprised to see this bit of news today: On a local TV interview show on Friday Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) basically said […]
Sorry for the site being down all morning. We had to move out of our current data center into a new one, so John, who handles the servers, has been hard at work all morning doing the physical move. Now let’s get the day started.
It looks like Google is suffering some major problems this morning. Here is an example: It tells you that my site is badddddd and that I will mess your computer up. Of course I am not, and if you don’t believe me, well here is what happens when you Google the word Google, which of […]

After a two year run at Lypha, IntoxiNation is now out growing the little shared hosting server we have been living on. Today I am moving us over to a very hefty server, shared with Crooks and Liars and Firedoglake (besides the fact it makes my life easier since I do the tech work for […]
Leahy is not buying the White House line for one minute that the emails used on GOP accounts have been deleted and are “lost for ever” and neither do I (Think Progress has the video of Leahy’s speech). As someone who has worked on data retrieval, there is a great chance the data is still […]
Wired Blog has a very interesting article up about the Net Neutrality amendment that is in a tie right now in the Senate Commerce Committee. The following are some excerpts of what Senator Ted Stevens (R-AL) had to say about it. There’s one company now you can sign up and you can get a movie […]
Crooks and Liars is back up and running (it was not a hack as some people think). Firedoglake may be intermittent today. We transferred the servers over to the new hosting company last night and changed the DNS. It generally takes 24-48 hours for a DNS to propagate through the millions of nameservers around the […]
