Questioning The Curve Again

Sony's First Curved 4K TV Takes a More Subtle Approach


Again I ask why do we need curved TVs?  Why?  So a guy can have a TV shaped like his dick?  WHY?

The Problem With Google

Ex-ESPN Employee: My Boss Kept "Sexually Provocative" Pictures Of Me


Here is the problem with posting a story like this: People like me have Google.  People like me use Google.  People like me can use Google to search around for things online, things like embarrassing sexually suggestive pictures of people.  People like me can then not find those pictures, but can find out things about one or more persons involved in the story that can have negative consequences for the people the story is about.  People like me can use Google to find out things about people that is none of their fucking business.  Then again such actions are not the fault of Google or the people posting the story, it is the fault of the people who use Google for such purposes, but still people can use Google for these purposes.

I don't really have an ending for this.  Hey look a kittie!

Thailand Bans Reality


On Monday the Associated Press reported that censors inside Thailand's National Council for Peace and Order, the twelfth military junta to lead Thailand in it's history, have decided to ban the Haemimont Games title Tropico 5.  It is believed that Tropico 5 received it's ban due to the ability of the player to rule a country like a iron-fisted dictator.  This is the belief because the NCFPAO did not provide any explanation for the move, and the Associated Press's request for a comment went unanswered.  Despite having no explanation of the move, this does fall in line with other restriction and bans put in place by the NCFPAO since their coup in 2012.  Recently the NCFPAO has moved to ban the following:

The Last King Of Scotland because of it's negative depiction of dictator Idi Amin.

Anna and the King because of how it portrays the monarchy.

The Hangover Part II because of it's depiction of Bangkok, as well as general suckitude.

Transformers: Age Of Extinction for it sucks.

Media that is not run by the state because of the possibility people will create reports that criticise the Thai monarchy, as well as the military junta.

Photogaphy because of it's ability to capture reality, which may be critical of the Thai monarchy and the Thai military junta.

Voice recorders because of it's ability to capture reality, which may be critical of the Thai monarchy and the Thai military junta.

And, finally, reality because reality may be critical of the Thai monarchy as the Thai military junta.
