Mohammed-Karikaturist Westergaard wirft ZDF Selbstzensur vor


Begründung des ZDF: "Unterhaltungs-Talkshow keine geeignete Plattform für eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema"

Der durch seine Mohammed-Karikatur berühmt gewordene dänische Zeichner Kurt Westergaard wirft dem ZDF "Selbstzensur" vor. Der Karikaturist sagte am Montag in Dänemarks größter Zeitung "Jyllands-Posten" (Århus), der öffentlich-rechtliche deutsche Sender habe ein für die Markus-Lanz-Talkshow vereinbartes Interview ohne Angabe von Gründen abgesagt. "Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass ein so großer Sender einknickt und Selbstzensur übt", sagte Westergaard.

Buckminster Fuller Challenge 2010 Finalists announced


Buckminster Fuller would be proud. The annual challenge held in his name is not some pie-in-the-sky design competition where the slickest rendering wins; instead the Buckminster Fuller Challenge seeks "workable solution[s] to one of the world's most significant challenges such as water scarcity, food supply, and energy consumption." 215 entrants from around the world threw their hats into the ring this year, and competition was reportedly stiff.

Anti-Piracy Group Says: 'Child Porn Is Great' Since It Gets Politicians To Block File Sharing Sites


For many years, we've seen the entertainment industry make totally bogus and unsubstantiated claims about file sharing sites being hotbeds of child pornography in an effort to get them to regulate or shut down those services. Of course, the actual evidence shows that file sharing porn is no worse than what's on the wider internet. But that doesn't stop the entertainment industry from making such bogus claims -- and it seems like they're gleefully admitting it these days.

Steve Wozniak’s iPhone Prototype T-Shirt


During last week’s iPhone leak saga, Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, reached out to us with a story: The morning of the iPad launch, an engineer showed Woz an iPad for two minutes. For this he was fired.

It’s a story that paints Apple as many people already see the company: ruthlessly secretive, and even vindictive. It also sheds some light on the story of Gray Powell, an Apple engineer whose breach of secrecy was at once less intentional, more severe and infinitely more public—until now. In the words of Woz:

Police ban men with enlarged genitals


Forget about getting a job as a police officer in Indonesia's Papua if you have had your penis enlarged. You won't get it, according to the Papua police chief.

An applicant "will be asked whether or not his vital organ has been enlarged," said Papua police chief Bekto Suprapto said. "If he has, he will be considered unfit to join the police or the military."

Photos From Malcolm McLaren's Funeral Fit For A King...


This is the kind of funeral every goth and punk dreams of when they cuddle into their totally ironic Disney Princess sheets at night. British punk legend Malcolm McClaren’s funeral procession went through London today and it was an extravagant spectacle. You wouldn’t expect anything less.
