If you're not the embrace change type, you're going to throw another mini-fit today: Facebook is switching up the look of your profile. Again. Again, again. Read More >>
Zuck bought Facebook its fanciest new outfit in many years this week, and naturally, the New News Feed is getting all the swooning. But FB added a handful of delicate tweaks and turns to the site—some you might not have noticed yet. Read More >>
The new new new new News Feed is Facebook's latest stab at rendering your swarming, swirling online life easier to digest. According to Facebook. Yes, it's cleaner than a German toilet. Yes, it's beautiful. But more importantly, it's about Facebook making more money. It's about ads. Bigger, distracting, super-ads. Read More >>
The last time Zuck overhauled the website you check all day every day, was two years ago. Two! You've probably changed a decent amount since then, but Facebook hasn't—until today. Here's how you'll be stalking the universe now. Read More >>

Most of us are content keeping hackers away with a firewall and decent password. But the Pentagon isn't nearly content, and in a new report, insists we should keep our nuclear arsenal ready for Internet retaliation. What could go wrong? Read More >>
University kids: your parents probably spent a lot of money on that new Facebook-browsing instrument you've got in your hands, so at the very least, please don't use it to shield yourself from the British weather. Read More >>

If you shut your eyes and listen closely, you'll hear the clop-clop of the inevitable: an iPhone that keeps getting bigger and bigger. And as much as we generally hate phablets, if an iPhone Plus looked like this, we'd melt. Read More >>

Apple's iCloud portfolio of various streaming and syncing services has existed for two years. And in those two years, Apple still hasn't been able to keep it from regularly fucking up. It happened again today! Read More >>
Hey, sweetheart, nice iPhone. Nice Android, too. It matches your Hello Kitty mug and bra. In fact, it's downright "emasculating," according to Google co-founder and Professional Computer Face Sergey Brin. So, stop throwing your manliness away. Read More >>
Sabu, probably the most notorious public face of hacking from this young, stupid century, still isn't headed to prison. He hasn't even been sentenced yet—because he's still helping the FBI bust his friends. Read More >>
You probably assume hackers are using all sorts of devious viruses, obscure scripts, "exploits" (whatever that means, right?) and other complex means to break into accounts. But often the means of entry are stupid simple. Facebook has a huge one—and doesn't care about fixing it. Read More >>

It's been seven years since the giant, boxy, expensive, hugely-fun and hyped PS3 first arrived. Seven years is a long time. But the next expensive, gorgeous era of gaming is here: the PlayStation 4. Read More >>
