Mandatory reading for all new Emerson students. This is so legit.  Especially the bit about Beacon Hill.

BUSTED!

ABC News uses istockphoto.com… but they don’t pay for it.

At EIV News, when we steal graphics, we at least ‘shop out the watermarks.  Fail, ABC.

Twitter Queue: You Fail

Posted 1 week ago

I’m all for democracy.  I really am.  But when I see things like this, I feel sad that this person is allowed to vote, and that his vote counts the same as everyone else. 

I guess suggesting that some people should not have the right to vote is pretty harsh.  Can we at least have a simple test that people must pass before they are allowed to use (or contribute to) the internet?  We do it for cars. I wish we could do it for YouTube.

Gmail Priority Inbox Sorts Your Email For You. And It’s Fantastic.

Email overload has finally met its match. Tomorrow, Gmail is rolling out a new feature called Priority Inbox that is going to be a Godsend for those of you who dread opening your email. In short, Google has built a system that figures out which of your messages are important, and presents them at the top of the screen so you don’t miss them. The rest of your messages are still there, but you don’t have to dig through dozens of newsletters and confirmations to find the diamonds in rough.

This is outstanding.  I dont understand, and also feel sorry for, people who still use Yahoo Mail and Hotmail.  It’s not even a thing… Gmail and/or Google Apps kills the competition.

One would think the network with the “Best Political Team on Television” could tell the difference between Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin….not to mention spell Palin’s name right…  or knew that she ran for VICE-President. -  Inside Cable News


WOW!

I feel like I’m cheating on CBS/Face the Nation when I say this: The Meet the Press set is so fucking beautiful!  Also, the MTP music gives me an awesome adrenaline rush.  Seriously, listen to this.

And this is why I’m a TV/news/general nerd.

OH MY GOD, THIS EXISTS!

Last year we were joking/speculating about a business that allows you to rent pets.  You, know, if you want a dog for a week but don’t want the responsibilities of a real pet owner.  Then I found this.

They include a GPS and thermometer that alerts the company if the pet is taken outside a designated area, or outside a safe temperature range.  That’s right… the company assumes that the type of person who rents a pet is the type of person who lacks all responsibly.  

Here is the site. For the record, I think this is a horrible thing, but the concept is funny.
