The Taliban Mistakenly Outed Every Single Person On Its Mailing List
If you didn’t already know that the Taliban had a mailing list, your mind is already blown. But here’s a solid one-upper: the taliban spokesperson accidentally CC’d everyone on that list in an otherwise pedestrian email, outing some people who likely didn’t want the world to know they were subscribers.
Yes, Microsoft Paid To Make This Terrible Xbox Live Ad 10 Years Ago
Once upon a time, online console gaming was a novel thing. And a singular, cohesive, online community built around a console was downright mindblowing. Enter Xbox Live, which turns 10 this week.
5 Things To Love About Nokia’s New Maps
Nokia’s rebranded mapping service will soon arrive on iPhones and and Android devices, under the moniker of Here. For Android users this isn’t a huge deal, but for iPhone owners living in the age of iOS 6, it could change a lot. Nokia’s maps, on other platforms, have been fantastic.
Scosche Now Has Lightning Accessories For Damn Near Any Situation
Think about anything you need to do regarding your gadget charging needs. Need to power an iPhone 5? What about a fourth-gen iPad? An Android phone? Some weird gadget with a strange USB port?

Tech’s New Most Meaningless Spec: PPI
HTC’s new Droid DNA smartphone has plenty of qualities that make it intriguing. It has a quad-core Snapdragon chipset. It crams a 5-inch display in a body nearly the size of a One X or Galaxy S III. Its Super LCD 3 technology trumps the Super LCD 2 that made the HTC 8x display so lovely. By all accounts it’s a wonderful device. But one thing HTC takes particular pride in is the 1920×1080 display, good for a pixel density of 440 pixels per inch, the highest ever in any handheld consumer device. This should make tech nerds lose their shit, right? Not quite. Welcome to your new favourite meaningless stat: ppi.
Coming Soon To Vimeo: Paywalls
Early next year, Vimeo will introduce a new feature to its PRO account holders. In short, those users will be able to charge for their videos on a per view (or per whatever) basis. It’s a move that could either attract a whole different class of known independent filmmakers or amass a sizeable mountain of videos that are fine as free (or ad-supported) content, but maybe not worth a premium price tag.
Web-Based, Facebook-Like Instagram Profiles Are Here
Up until now, Instagram profiles have only been viewable from the app (or through some sort of a third-party site/client). But according to AllThingsD, now you can fire up any web browser and have access to any public Instagram account, making it approximately 1000000 per cent easier to stalk people using the service.
Star Wars And Disney Fight To The Death In Bizarre NMA World
Any NMA take on Disney’s acquisition of LucasFilm is bound to be very strange, but the finished product is even stranger than you could imagine. Backroom deals made in a strip club. Yoda strong arming George Lucas. Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the Avengers brawling with Yoda, Darth Vader and Han Solo. And Ronald McDonald? Just watch it.
