So this finally happened: "A popular 'meat-market' smartphone app that spawned a sexual revolution in Australia's gay community has been compromised by a Sydney hacker, potentially exposing intimate personal chats, explicit photos and private information of users." Ta da! But wait, there's more: "A security expert who did not wish to be named... said that the Grindr and Blendr apps 'had no real security.'" The modern age is fun where we just trust all our data and naked pictures to anyone who makes an app!

Ha ha, here's the greatest picture of the end of the Iraq War, by Al-Jazeera's Gregg Carlstrom: the assigned seats at the "Yay The Iraq War Is Over" ceremony also informed attendees in which bunker they should take shelter, in case they were all bombed or shot at or whatever. Enjoy your war zone with no war (sort of)!

Oh, no. Coming in September to Bloomberg TV (I think that's channel 547803 in New York?), it's TechStars! A TV show based on the entrepreneurial mentorship bootcamp program! This is formatted as a reality show, and was shot at TechStars' last three-month incubator program in New York. It's all about winning that big check for your hot startup, just like in real life. (Ha.) But it's not just about tech! It's about stars too! Because money = fame, and fame = money, and both of those = validation. This all fits into my theory that the current bubble is more of an emotional bubble, not actually an economic bubble. It's a celebrity industrial complex bubble. So: Who will be the Puck? Who will be the Spencer and Heidi? (Answer: someone who will look back on the experience with regret.) Anyway. YOU KNOW WHO'S REALLY A STAR ENTREPRENEUR IN THE TECHNOLOGY FIELD? THE DRY CLEANERS ON THE CORNER AND THE DUDE WHO RUNS THAT DELI BY YOUR HOUSE AND THE LADY WHO GETS A USURIOUS BANK LOAN FOR A TAXI MEDALLION.

This "Warning: Terrence Malick Film!" sign, published by Next Projection (and, update! Apparently actually photographed by reporter Joe Meyers, which, should it really be that hard to find and give credit on the Internet people? Sheesh!) was posted for movie-goers at the Avon, in Stamford, CT. What's to even say? Do people really ask for their movie-ticket money back because... they were bored? Another reason to despise Connecticut. (via)

Rumors on the Internets suggest that Gaddafi is going to take to the TV soon with a speech. Maybe he's going to apologize for everything! (No?)

Netiquette! This is how to use someone's video. And yes, this is how to get busted for stealing someone's video.

And you can download the mix here. The new album is out today in the UK; the whole thing can be heard here.
