You know when a Facebook exec told a room full of journalists that Mark Zuckerberg is not a big fan of the press and it does not care for it? This recent year, with Facebook scandal after scandal really made us understand why Zuck hates the press: scandal after scandal, stupid move after stupid move, […]

You may have heard Tumblr will ban pornographic content starting December 17th. You may think it’s because of Apple’s removal of the app from the App Store, but that is just an excuse. I think Tumblr was looking for a way to tell users that post pr0n to leave, but it did not know how and […]

Blogging for 13 years, i have a lot of images in my WordPress directory. 30,930 to be exact. A lot of those we orphaned, because of post deletion and drafts never published, but i never knew how many there were. And a plugin like Media Cleaner Pro is very useful just for that. The free […]

We all laugh at how weird and stupid Zuckerberg acts, from his robotic moves to his weird water drinking. One thing we are all forgetting: this guy hasn’t had a normal life. At 19, he started a million dollar company, took several tens of millions of dollars as investments and build a billion dollar company. […]

Nice piece in NYTimes about how Facebook does not share revenue with people putting up (come create, some steal it from Youtube) engaging content on their platform.

Romania is sort of the land of the free and the brave. Lack of rules and enforcing makes it very easy for companies to create content. ProTV, for example, a TV station with 1 milion profit per year, cant find the resources to pay for content. They rather steal it from the internet, because there […]

New german law in progress, and a TC editor is confused: One obvious question here is how any fines could be applied across international borders if a social media firm has no bricks-and-mortar presence in Germany, though. The law does also require social media firms operating in Germany to appoint a contact person in the country.

In the last few days i’ve encountered multiple foreign drivers on our roads. Not just caravans, not just people driving their RV, but regular people renting a car to go places. And most of these drivers dont bother to catch up or never found a set of rules and guidance on how to drive on […]
