Biz, Politics: We’re using this site to protest the Associated Press tomorrow

  • We’re only using AP content tomorrow. Consider it civil disobedience. The Associated Press has made a lot of questionable decisions lately, what with that whole going against bloggers and Google News thing. But the latest takes the cake – they went after a radio station and AP affiliate for embedding a YouTube video on their site. (WTF?) AP put up the embed code on YouTube for people to link. So, as a protest, tomorrow, we’ll only post news from AP sites. We want them to get hits from us because they’re great. We hope the AP understands. source

Offbeat, Tech: A look at this man’s face is a look at nipples

  • An artistic protest against Facebook. In the wake of the breast-feeding saga rocking Facebook, one enterprising artistic type decided to make a collage of his face entirely out of nipples, just to see if it’d set off the censors. It’s still up as of this moment. We’d show you the photo, but it’s got a lot of nipples in it. source
