Bottles of a pomegranate sode infused and with marijuana sold under the Legal Beverages name have been exploding in stores.
The manufacturer blames this on a batch with too much yeast. Me I blame it on the pot giving the yeast the munchies which made it more active.

Today the same study was reproduced in many sources.
As any sinanju expert will tell you, the best way to give a woman an organism is to tap her wrist in sync with her heartbeat.

Of course everyone knows the real secret to getting a woman to orgasm is to tap her wrist in sync with her heartbeat.

A federal appeals court has just struck down, the provision for granting tax subsidies for those who get their insurance through the federal website.
This in particular, shows up all those wnnabe geek idiots, who have been in ./. discussions saying that "The Supreme Court has found Obamacare constitutional.", that it is now "settled law". ( Just like "global warming is settled science". ) Obamacare was found to impose it's mandate constitutionally, and even then all aspects of "the mandate" were not considered, just whether it was constitutional to impose a mandate. Obamacare is complex and large. Very large. We now see two aspects of it, contraception and subsidies struck down. Whether it's some left/right thing, some Apple/Google thing, some tablet/desktop thing, some C/.Jabva/C#/Python thing, it is becoming common for one aspect to of an argument to be used to justify an entirely different argument ( "Double Checking Locking doesn't work therefore C sucks for multithreaded apps." ) let Obamacare stand as an example that, one must understand the context of an argument if one is to understand the argument.

Today Dinesh DeSousa sent a letter to google today asking whether the error in search results for his new movie was human or automated.
Meanwhile some of his fans are speculating if this is not being done for political reasons.

A million dollars have been invested in an app called "Yo".
The main thing the app does is send a "Yo" to other members on the Yo network.
Actually that is the only thing the app does.
It's still unclear whether there are any patents granted based on this app, or of the owner is going to trademark "Yo".

Todsay on slashdot it was announced that
Linus would teach a MOOC on linux.
A Stevens level course on linux is something I think a lot of people would be interested in. Such a course taught by Linus himself wow.
Turns out that Linus just did an intro. The actual course teacher is Jerry Cooperstein. I am certain that the course itself will be worthwhile, but I feel a certain amount of people will be dissapointed that the course does not actually involve Linus himself.
OK. Now seriously, do the editors think they should correct the article before some fan chokes on the fluid from an aborted Linus-gasm?

Josh Olin, community manager ( whatever that is ) for Turtle Rock was fired for sending tweets saying that Donald Sterling should not be fired for being a bigot in his own home.
This adds to the bout of recent politically correct actions taken by companies about people like Adria Richards, Brandon Eich.

In a recent story on reason.com it was reported that the DoJ is closing down the bank accounts of porn stars.
Not knowing the site I googled around and found another site, the Guardian.
The story does not end there. It turns out that this is part of a larger scheme ( ironically ) called Operation Choke Point. Also reported in a Washington Post article that downplays the practice.
According to Cryptocoin news. There are thirty industries the DoJ is now targeteting:
*Ammunition Sales *Cable Box De-scramblers *Coin Dealers *Credit Card Schemes
*Credit Repair Services *Dating Services *Debt Consolidation Scams *Drug Paraphernalia
*Escort Services *Firearms Sales *Fireworks Sales *Get Rich Products *Government Grants
*Home-Based Charities *Life-Time Guarantees *Life-Time Memberships *Lottery Sales
*Mailing Lists/Personal Info *Money Transfer Networks *On-line Gambling *PayDay Loans
*Pharmaceutical Sales *Ponzi Schemes *Pornography *Pyramid-Type Sales *Racist Materials
*Surveillance Equipment *Telemarketing *Tobacco Sales *Travel Clubs
But more can be added. ( I notice alcohol sales is not on the list).
