Wow! This is incredible! In Italy you’ve got a license to lie and cheat in a relationship all you want! Why? Because having an extra-marital affair is wrong, and it would damage your ‘honor’, so clearly it should be lied about if you do it!
Hmmm. Let’s see… So if I murder, rape and pillage, those things must damage my honor as well. So it won’t be long before it’s legal to lie about that too! Pretty soon all of Italy will be lying their asses off - but at least they’ll all be honorable!

There is nothing like instilling a little fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) to help sell a product… or a consulting service!
Some young guys in L.A. garnered some serious attention when they told ABC News that they could hack cell phones of the rich and famous. And this short video is the result of that claim.

Folks, as you know by now whenever I come across security threats I like to share them. And this one is actually pretty pressing.
With a specially modified blank key and a small hammer - or even stick, 90% of home locks can be picked in a matter of seconds. The technique is called Lock Bumping, and the instructions are now all over the Internet.
Take a look at this news report, and then please take appropriate action to ensure that you are not vulnerable.

I don’t even know what else to say other than this makes me sick. The elected representatives of the citizens of the state of Texas are caught on film casting votes on one another’s machines and all they can say is “well, we’re very busy”?
I swear to God, I think they should all be impeached and special elections should be held to replace them. Furthermore, I think that any law passed during this session should be annulled by the courts because of the absolute possibility of vote fraud. I have no doubt after watching this video that people are cheating like hell on votes and taking advantage of the vacancy at the desk beside them.
How do these people expect me to have faith in a single vote? The system is corrupt beyond repair.

Imagine this… it’s 8am, you’ve just dropped your 8 year old off at school and picked up your 22 year old daughter for breakfast. While your daughter goes inside a restaurant to correct the breakfast order your wife, in the seat beside you, notices a woman waiving her arms as if in distress. So you roll down the window to see if she needs help and she leans her head into your car and offers her “services”.
Then, to add injury to insult, a few seconds later a bunch of cops rush your car, drag you out of it, and handcuff you for soliciting a prostitute. Meanwhile your wife is freaking out, and your daughter, returning to the car, screams!

The next time you decide to drop some large coin on expensive organic food or “all natural” cosmetics you need to remember what you see here.

I keep wondering two things, why does the RIAA continue to persecute people, and more importantly why do people do stupid enough things to keep getting prosecuted?
That organization exists for the sole purpose of suing the pants off of people, but they can only do so when people leave plenty of evidence about their activity - namely hosting content on their computers and allowing others to download it. Most of the time it seems these foolish people aren’t even aware that what they are doing by running Kazaa, eMule, Gnutella, or some other file sharing application puts them at risk.
But why in the world would anyone share their music, movie or software collections via open, anonymous connections? Especially when there are other virtually risk-free alternatives? (By the way, know your rights if RIAA comes calling.)

In case you’ve been living under a rock, my father’s country of birth (Greece) has massive fires raging all around Athens which have killed 63 people in just the last few days. Now, I don’t want anyone to take any of the comments I’m about to make the wrong way. I love Greece, and the Greek people. We are family.
But being that the ancient Greeks invented democracy, I’m going to exercise a little free speech here and tell you a few reasons I have little sympathy for the problems now being faced.

In the 1950’s and 1960’s Charles Manson and his gang of drugged out hippies preyed on society as few criminals ever have. After eventually being sentenced to death, then having that sentence commuted to life in prison (California repealed the death penalty) the Manson “family’s” reign of terror came to an end.
The name Charles Manson now strikes fear in people, but most of us don’t really know much about the man behind the myth. For example, the fact that he was 5′ 2″ tall and under 140 pounds lets you know right off the bat that he was not a physically intimidating human.
He is also not known to have actually committed murders. Instead, he used his charisma to control a bunch of drugged out people who were desperately seeking someone to follow.
In 1981 Tom Snyder interviewed Charles Manson. This interview provides a rare look into the mind of a crazy person who simply has no remorse or comprehension of morality.

Deviating from the funny videos from the last few days, this one is dead serious. It’s about a gang called MS-13 which has over 10,000 members in the US alone.
The video documentary is almost an hour long, so get you something to drink and get comfortable before watching it. Then be prepared to be shocked at some of the crap going on in our cities.

There are a few curse words in this one, but it’s exceedingly amusing anyway! This clip comes from a UK TV show called Balls of Steel.
There is a guy in the UK who’s invented his own game called “Urban Sprinting”. Basically the deal is that he’s got a device that I’m assuming he can turn on which will set off the alarms at retail stores that are designed to catch shoplifters.
Do you see where I’m going with this yet? Yep, he doesn’t steal anything, but he sets off the alarms and then runs to get the security guards to chase him! As far as he’s concerned the game doesn’t end until he’s able to get to a hamburger joint and order a burger.

Folks, this is breaking news. If you are going to try this I’d say you have to do so pretty quickly. If you wait too long the instructions here will probably not be valid.
UPDATE: I’ve added the book here. You can download it below the video explaining that OJ is happy the book has been leaked.”
Ok, I’m not going to say that I’ve personally obtained a leaked copy of OJ Simpson’s book, If I Did It… but if I had obtained it, here is how I did it!
