Andrey Ternovskiy, the Russian teenager behind the voyeuristic spank tank Chatroulette, recently sat down to talk with The New York Times about… well Masturbatory probation and his inspiration behind the infamous site.
Where does the name come from? I came up with it after I watched a movie about American soldiers who were fighting in Vietnam and were captured and forced to play Russian roulette.
What do you plan to do about all the naked people on Chatroulette? People that are naked are all over the Internet. I don’t like it, because I want a clean site, so I have added a “Report” button. Now if someone is reported three times they are banned from the site.
This is a pretty cool and well done exploration into the chatroulette phenomenon. For all of you timid lurkers out there, I assure you that this video contains no obese men touching themselves to Bette Midler show tunes.
The iCup is a concept design that uses your laptop as a mobile heating device, harnessing the power of your USB port to heat your html java.
I haven’t used that much computer jargon since I got accused of running a loan sharking business in Second Life. On a more sophomoric level, it’s also fun to ask people to spell iCup.
The American Association of Pediatrics has come to two conclusions: kids love hot dogs, and hot dogs are the perfect size and shape for a child to choke on. One AAP doctor went as far as to say, “If you were to take the best engineers in the world and asked them to design a perfect plug for a child’s airway, you couldn’t do better than a hot dog,”
RKS design firm used the Play Doh Fun Factory to come up with the new winning shape, using a corkscrew -themed frankfurter. Thanks to this new design, there’s no mistaking that you are indeed eating a pig’s anus.
Red-hot chili peppers could soon come to India’s defense. The country’s defense scientists are working on using the world’s hottest chilies in hand grenades for use in counter-insurgency operations and riot control.
An important ingredient in Indian cooking, hitherto chilies have been confined to kitchens. They seem poised now to storm another bastion. If ongoing field trials are successful, chilies will soon make a grand entry into India’s defense armory. The plan is “to harness the pungency value of chilies to make hand grenades that can be used in riot control and counter-insurgency situations.”
You just can’t make this kind of shit up. Sendyourdarling.com is a travel website that offers to send your stuffed animals on lavish vacations, snapping pictures of the brooding blue dolphin and chipper green toad as they experience the best Prague has to offer.
Is your darling exceptional? Give him extraordinary present - trip to Prague - the beautiful heart of Europe. Except amazing experiences, he will bring back home many great photos and other presents.
Other great presents? Is that code word that my sock monkey is going to be contracting a plushy STD?
I think it’s safe to say that everyone is familiar with the infamous twitter account @shitmydadsays, which Justin Halpern set up to highlight some of the better remarks his father spouts out. But we’ve obtained some of the deleted Tweets that take on a much more mundane and depressing tone.
According to a suit filed by Blake J. Robbins against the Lower Marion School District, he alleges that school administrators have used school issued laptops and webcams to spy on students while at home. The issue came to light when the Robbins’s child was disciplined for “improper behavior in his home” and the Vice Principal used a photo taken by the webcam as evidence.
Aren’t these administrators familiar with the Bueller vs. Rooney statute? Students always win.
Two web finds in one day! Although this one is a little more destructive than the previous. Most people Tweet about where they are and what they’re doing. With this information, some unsavory gentlemen can determine one thing. YOU’RE NOT AT HOME. Thus, Please Rob Me. While the site is obviously satire, it is further evidence that people lack certain “street smarts” while navigating the web.
Behold the beauty of I Just Made Love, the latest website that falls in line with the other “oversharing” portals. The concept is pretty simple: make naughty, then usual Google maps to chart where you committed the dirty deed.
I bet a bunch of people are heading over to Go Daddy and checking on the domain availability of Ijustfarted, Ijustmadecoffee and IjusthadsexwithyourmomthenTweetedandFacebookedaboutit.
