New technologies constantly appear on the market and, unless you constantly read networking, computing or hacker news, you may find terminologies floating around that you don’t understand. Here we’ll explore 10 common networking terms, what they mean and where you are likely to encounter them. WLAN A Wireless Local Area Network links two or more devices via wireless distribution. A WLAN usually operates within a restricted area, only providing connectivity to those devices within its confines.

Today, I found out my dad ate my rabbit when I was 6 years old. He'd told me it ran away. I can't be mad at my dad; he's been dead for 5 years. FML

The company (which owns TechCrunch) reported revenues of $710.3 million and adjusted EPS of $0.92. This was a mixed result: analysts were expecting revenues of $721.8 million… Read More

The internet is an instrumental tool for us to research, explore, learn, shop and more, yet there is always the opposite side of the proverbial coin. False or misleading information, scams, dating disasters waiting to happen are rampant. There's also a fair share of products that, while purporting to be something no one should live without, are exactly the opposite. In short: useless.
A creative technology company called Rehabstudio has a blog that parodies just such useless technological wonders positioned in the market as items everyone needs to simplify their everyday lives. The blog, The Internet of Useless Things, features fake products with familiar copy full of disingenuous advertising phrases and buzzwords that all consumers will recognize.
Creatives with similar ideas can tweet with hashtag #iouselesst for them to be considered for the blog. See more amusing faux technological innovations here.

There's nothing boring about a good Parmigiano-Reggiano's inimitably intense, nutty, funky flavor. But wouldn't it be nice if we had some other options from time to time? Now we do: This 100% vegan, deeply savory, slightly tangy condiment can be folded into or sprinkled onto your food for a big hit of flavor. It can stand in for Parm in a pasta dish, but it's also great sprinkled on salads, sandwiches, roasted meats, grilled fish, burgers, or pizza. Read More

Jeb Bush Publishes Thousands of Citizens' Email Addresses
by timothy
blottsie writes Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush hasn't even yet formally declared his desire to run for president in 2016, but he's already started what appears to be a major privacy blunder. His new project, the Jeb Emails, a massive, open database of correspondence to and from his jeb@jeb.org email address, publishes the full names, messages, and email addresses of his constituents who emailed him during his eight years in office.

Meet the Criminal Who Had the Honesty to Put Down "Drug Dealer" as His Occupation
From NBC Miami:
A West Palm Beach, Florida, man listed his occupation on an arrest report as "drug dealer,'' police say.
Deputies say 25-year-old Robert Phillips was arrested Tuesday after he cut in front of an unmarked Palm Beach County Sheriff's car and nearly caused a crash. A records check found that Phillips was driving a stolen car.

Sony's canceled Game Boy title would have beaten Link's Awakening to the punch
by Jordan Devore
Today in cool old videogames I'm only now hearing about for the first time, we have Castaway Boy Keith, an unreleased action-RPG for the Game Boy from Epic/Sony.
As much as the screenshots resemble a certain handheld Nintendo adventure, here's the weird part: Keith would have released in 1990, predating The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.
According to Disgruntled Designer, the protagonist, Keith, gets stranded on an island and must collect musical notes to defeat the devil king Drakhe. What a funny name for an adventurer.

Today, a cute girl was telling me about her weird fetishes. I jokingly said, "Remind me never to have sex with you". She replied, "Don't worry, I have standards". FML
