Lindsay Lohan's Playboy nudity leaked by Grinch-like hacker

This is Xmas. The time of no-peeking. The time when the full fruits of the season come to those who wait.

Yet some determined hacker decided that the Xmas gift desired by so many--naked images of Lindsay Lohan in Playboy--would be heartlessly revealed before their time.

Fox News has draped itself around the details of this treasonous act.

It seems the hacker was so determined that he pumped, pushed, and prodded around Playboy's vulnerabilities, until he--it surely had to have been a "he"--found them and uploaded them to a file-sharing site in Russia.

This person was … Read more

Lohan lawyer's amazing, amusing attack on E*Trade

Court papers are serious documents. They present serious arguments about serious issues that often have serious consequences.

However, I have just pored through a new 27-page submission by Lindsay Lohan's legal representative, Stephanie Ovadia, and I found myself moved. In many ways beyond the serious.

Should you have missed Lohan's reason for this particular court battle, she is alleging that a Super Bowl ad for E*Trade mocked her persona because it included a character (a baby, surprisingly enough) who was a milkaholic (as well as a boy-stealer) and happened to be called Lindsay.

E*Trade has moved … Read more

Buzz Out Loud 1272: Interests: being hot (podcast)

It's another Monday on BOL, which means breaking news interjections, stumbling analysis, and hilarious Brian Tong jokes that go RIGHT over Molly's head. Turns out you can not actually search for girlfriends on Facebook using the search term, "hot girls." Unless, of course, they self-identify. Plus, a pain ray update!

Lindsay Lohan sues E*Trade over Super Bowl spot

When you hear the name "Lindsay," who (or what) comes into your mind?

I know that many who live in New York might immediately think of a former mayor. Some in the California might think of the Lindsay Wildlife Museum in Walnut Creek. It seems, though, that sometime actress Lindsay Lohan believes that she is Lindsay and Lindsay is she.

Lohan appears to have taken offense at one of the babies in an E*Trade TV spot that made its debut during this year's Super Bowl. Specifically, she is offended by the alleged milkaholic who happens to … Read more

The 404 133: Where we stay together for the kids

Sixteen of Wilson's illegitimate children ventured into the preshow, but don't worry--we kept it G-rated for the little Tangers. Check out the video courtesy of UltimateBuster for evidence of the wackiness. Once they leave, though, we revert back to our old selves and bring you another show filled with skally stories from around the Internets, including the upcoming Xbox 360 dashboard update, Laser Speedos (no affiliation with Laser Cats), the overweight American workforce, and this country's obsession with nonfat half-caff triple-grande quarter-sweet sugar-free nonfat lactaid extra-hot extra-foamy caramel macchiatos.

How TMZ uses tech to get in your face

Alec Baldwin, Lindsay Lohan, and Kramer from Seinfeld may despise TMZ.com, but that hasn't stopped the celebrity news site from bagging more blockbuster scoops the past two years than any competitor.

TMZ's growing reputation as Hollywood's in-the-know and in-your-face news agency was built by working the phones, developing sources and basically out hustling rivals, say executives. What isn't well-known, however, is that the company may also possess a technology edge.

TMZ, which launched as a Web site in 2005 and moved into TV last September, is among the first to build a tapeless, high-definition TV … Read more

Facebook Platinum membership. How much would you pay?

Milton Friedman once told that Free Market Principles depend on, well, nothing being free. (Well, it was some old bloke who looked like Milton Friedman. College. Whatever.)

But the Facebooks of this world seem resolute in refusing to believe that people might decide that if it cost nothing then it can't have been worth anything.

So, and it pains me to utter these words, but what would happen if Facebook led the charging?

What if they created normal, ordinary membership, then, you know, a gradation of colors? Like credit card companies. Where platinum stands for 'person living far beyond … Read more

MySpace, Yahoo blame bad APIs for celebrity photos breach

Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan's private MySpace photos are all over the Internet now, thanks to a glitch in the bad APIs.

While the not-so-publicity-shy stars probably won't mind, and none of the photos are all that racy (except for the one of a fully dressed, provocatively posed Hilton in a tanning booth), there's a lesson for us all in this social network privacy flap du jour.

"Anything you upload to a public Web site is not private; it's public. Even if you think it is password protected," says Jeremiah Grossman, chief technology officer … Read more

Netflix's social experiment. It's time to come clean.

I know that some people are worried that mad scientists can now clone sheep.

Soon, they say, they will do the same with human beings.

Think of it. Tasteless nerds creating hundreds of Thomas Kinkades and David Archuletas to alter the cultural balance of America.(Or, perhaps, confirm it.)

I am here to tell you that those very probably nice, sane scientists at Netflix are surely ahead of the game.

Here's how it works. I declare that "Climates", a very sensitive and refined Turkish movie, deserves five of my stars. The Netflixsters tell me that they have … Read more
