Facebook-Killer Diaspora Is Asking For More Cash, Do We Even Care Anymore?
Diaspora – n. – A group ejected from its homeland.
And so it was a year and a half ago, during the last big Facebook privacy kerfuffle, that a quartet of NYU students announced to the world their intention to build an open-source social network. By being decentralized with an altruistic agenda, they wanted to win over the people that Facebook alienated through foggy permissions to their content. With Diapsora, you would be free of corporate influence and data mining, allowing you to share your information at your own discretion. They asked for $10k through crowdfunding site Kickstarter and after a month, received twenty times that amount.

Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop – Movie Review
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost two years since that drama between Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien went down over the Tonight Show. NBC eventually bought O’Brien out to the tune of nearly $45 million and prohibited him from being funny on TV for six months. So what did he and his production and writing staffs do in the meantime?
