What Bill of Rights? CISPA explained. The American politicians’ thinking appears to be: stuff the Fourth Amendment.
Forget about Planking! Hadoukening and Vadering seems to be the next big thing on the internet! I love it :D

Fashion Means Business: It takes 4 days to make an HermèsKelly bag by hand. The most expensive one is also the smallest - it clocks in at six inches and weighs 90 carats in diamonds. To vote for us for the Webby Awards in the Business Blog category, visit http://bit.ly/VoteBoF
BoF for Webby I remember when Lucire was a finalist in the fashion category many years ago. Before Business of Fashion even posted this, I had already voted for them. It’s one of the better sites out there on the topic.
Prompted Isn’t this question a bit loaded if a hotel logo is in the corner?
