1. ANONYMOUS ATTACKS GOVERNMENT AND MUSIC INDUSTRY
In retaliation to the media sharing site Megaupload being shut down, the hacker group “Anonymous” went on a tangent! Hacking, corrupting, and eventually shutting down the official sites of; the FBI, Motion Picture Association of America, Recording Industry Association of America, Universal Music, and the American Justice Department…WOW!
This is by far the largest attack the group has ever constructed, and they made their point very clear; “Largest attack ever, crippling government and music industry #megaupload”
They livestreamed everything [here]

2. 8yr OLD HARDCORE SONG
If you’re not sick of it yet (I’m getting there) a little girl named Juliet starred in what I’m calling 2012’s first viral video.

FOLLOW/UNFOLLOW: Online Friendship

I lost two followers on Instagram today…*sniff*…I don’t know who they were, but their point was made; they hate me. But wait, didn’t I unfollow two people on IG today? It must have been them, they must have unfollowed me because I unfollowed them first!
So…that means…they were only following me because I followed them? But that can’t be the case *pffft* no no no, then the content of my posts wouldn’t have mattered at all.Then they wouldn’t have even been paying attention to my posts, just using me to up their numbers. But that can’t be the case, people wouldn’t become my friend just for a silly number…would they? Would I? Would you?

I know that I only follow people who post things that interest me. Granted if you’re a close personal friend or family you automatically make the cut. And I should probably make it clear that if you go for long periods of time without posting (like weeks or months) then I’ll most likely X you off.

It’s nothing personal, you’re just not in my life enough for me to care…but then what’s getting me so worked up about losing your number on my friends list? Hmmm all these emotions, this constant refreshing of pages, always posting pictures of cute animals or tattooed chicks just to gain more random numbers…what is the point?!

Oh wait it’s just a website, and I’m not 14.
PS: Fbook isn’t meant for anything of substance anyway, so add me!

STAY INFORMED: Take Action Against SOPA/PIPA

“The Internet Blacklist Legislation - known as PROTECT IP Act in the Senate and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House - is a threatening sequel to last year’s COICA Internet censorship bill.  Like its predecessor, this legislation invites Internet security risks, threatens online speech, and hampers Internet innovation.”

Simply put; companies are still trying to stop our online freedom. If this happens sites like YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter will be shutdown!
Inform yourself, contact politicians in your area, spread the word! Every little bit helps!

[HERE] is a list of companies currently supporting this bill; sadly there are names like Apple, Microsoft, EA Games, and Adidas…names that should know better. Boycott some, contact others.

PS: If you’re Canadian and thinking “this has nothing to do with me” tell your ignorance to shut up and speak up now, before it’s too late to say anything!
