It's All Facebook's Fault (Still):
- Public health officials in the UK are blaming a rise in syphilis rates on Facebook. While, um, you'd think Facebook sex would be safe (if highly distasteful sex, and probably with the privacy controls set all wrong), no, people are using it for real-life hookups. Facebook responds: "As Facebook’s more than 400 million users know, our website is not a place to meet people for casual sex – it’s a place for friends, family and co-workers to connect and share.” And play stupid games, and get stalked by burglars, and get scammed...
- ...and get your personal information given to websites you never said you trusted...
- ...and get spied on by your employer...
- Some dude who has played over 2300 hours of World of Warcraft claims the game is our future. The lengths to which some people will go to rationalize their addiction...
- The University of Wisconsin at Green Bay has declared that it will save $10,000 a year in printer ink by changing its default email font. Here's a novel idea: remember the 'e' in email stands for 'electronic' and don't print it out at all! That would save lots of trees in addition to all those squid!
- Dumbass of the Week: A man fleeing police scaled a fence to get away... only to find himself in a prison yard. Yes, he was apprehended... and probably mocked ceaselessly by the arresting officers.
