In his debut on the ABC reality series, Mark Cuban manages to amuse with his corny dance moves, but the billionaire raises a few eyebrows by choosing an ensemble consciously inspired by homelessness.
Don't buy these one-trick ponies--unless you like gizmos that gather dust.
The Net giant, ever eager for a faster Internet, debuts its Google Public DNS service. With it, Google could become even more central to the Net.
CNET News' Caroline McCarthy is a downtown Manhattanite who believes that, despite popular opinion, the Web can actually help your social life. She's happily addicted to fun social-media tools from Twitter to Yelp to Facebook, sends an inordinate number of text messages, and has a tendency to waste time at the office reading restaurant blogs. Here, she explores all facets of the Web's gregarious side, as well as the unique tech culture in her home city of New York. (Don't call it Silicon Alley.)

least of irony.
Would you please plant your tongue firmly in your cheek when you watch TV? Please? Especially if you're going to be writing about it later.
people who were not able to work, or choose not to work.
This is political correctness run amok. I suppose Roger Miller
should be censored?
Indeed, the poor performance award goes to this writer.
This writer needs to lighten up!
Even so, he was simply attempting (poorly, I'm sure, since he's not a performer) to play a character. Would you complain if multimillionare actors like Russell Crowe or Will Smith played a poor person in a movie, or if Bruce Springsteen sang a song from the point of view of a poor person? (Which of course they have).
And who's to say that Cuban doesn't donate some of his fortune to helping others?
loyal Lakers fan. But I must admit he did pretty good last night on
Dancing with the Stars, as far as his music selection goes: let it go!!
It's just a song, and so what if Steve Jobs dresses up as a homeless
guy for Halloween, I think that would be classic!! People are taking
this political corrrectness thing a little too far, can't we all just have
some fun?

- In case anyone does not know, the songs the dancers dance to are NOT chosen by them, but by the executives with the show. They are given the song and told to choreograph a dance to it, and their costumes are to match the song. So don't criticize Mr. Cuban for his costume or the song, write your letter of complaint to ABC and Dancing with the Stars.
