Apple spent nine months in complete silence — from the release of the iPad Mini through last week. The only thing they announced in that interim was the ouster of Scott Forstall and corresponding reshuffling of executive responsibility. No new products, no new designs. And the business and tech media lost their shit over this, declaring an end to Apple’s ability to innovate. Apple’s “This Is Our Signature” mantra is in defiance of this superficial demand for an endless stream of new new new.

McConnell To Reid: If You Go Nuclear On Nominations, I’ll Go Nuclear On Everything When I’m Majority Leader
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Tuesday starkly warned Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) not to eliminate the filibuster on presidential nominations, threatening to end the 60-vote threshold for everything, including bills, if he becomes the majority leader.
“There not a doubt in my mind that if the majority breaks the rules of the Senate to change the rules of the Senate with regard to nominations, the next majority will do it for everything,” McConnell said on the floor.
Yeah. Here’s the thing, Senator Dipshit: everyone knows you’re going to do this anyway, regardless of the reform decisions Senator Can’t Get A Fucking Thing Done does.

NEW DEEP SEA HYDROTHERMAL VENT COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTHERN OCEAN
The study was performed in the depths of East Ridge Scotie (Antartic Ocean) by ROV (Remoteley Operated Vehicle), a vehicle operated by remote control, which has enabled it to capture the amazing images. Despite the depth and temperature, there is a rich biodiversity down there
- Unidentified octopus at 2,394 m depth.
- Actinostolid sea anemones surrounded by Vulcanolepas on a chimney with diffuse hydrothermal venting at 138, 2,396 m depth
- Undescribed peltospiroid gastropod surrounding single Kiwa sp. and partially covered by Lepetodrilus sp. The pycnogonid Sericosura is at the bottom right of the image ( 2,608 m depth)

I love this new trend of actresses calling reporters out on their bullshit.
Can I just, Renner’s face is the second and third frames. He’s so disappointe in the male race at that moment. And so proud of Scarlett.
Scarlett Johansen, you are badass.

I know posts like this are annoying, because nothing I have to say is going to change Yahoo/Tumblr’s mind on making money through sponsored advertisements on my dash.
But I’m gonna say it anyway.
Get. This. VH1. Objectifying. Shit. Off. My. Dash.
Seconded.

Apple has a table that shows the top 20,000 apps. Apps flash as they’re being downloaded. The Tumblr app flashes continuously! Fuck yeah.

In the U.S. some states require you to notify buyers if a house is haunted. Sadly, that is not a joke.
I like software. I make music. Sometimes I say something interesting.
