I feel like more and more I’m coming across Facebook backlash (not to say that this particular article is scathing or too dismissive, but in general); this group’s very vocal consensus seems to assume that at some point the over-romanticized social network is going to make a misstep and either realize that: a) they don’t know how to most effectively monetize their site or b) they...
“OH THEY CAN CO-EXIST, BECAUSE THEY’RE BALLERS.”
– Stephen A. Smith commenting on why and how KG, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen will mesh in Boston. Personally, I’m not completely sold on this idea that the East is wide open just because Lebron and the Cavs got to the finals. It annoys me that Boston is now getting anointed as the second or third...

THIS LOOKS TO BE AMAZING.
RACIAL.
Pavla Mikula: This week, Google unveiled Blackle, a version of their search engine with an inky background. The company says it's for environmental reasons - a darker screen uses less energy, and with the millions of hits they get a day, their dark new homepage could potentially save thousands of dollars and also, important resources like oil. Meanwhile, we've found another side benefit of the site: It matches Chanel Black Satin nail polish, our favorite faux patent shoes, and So Delicious Chocolate ice cream.
Pavla Mikula: is that racist?
David Cho: there's no way that that is real
David Cho: oh
David Cho: i thought that said blackie

He didn’t want to leave the first time around and he’s close with Yao. Now I’m just trying to figure out who my team is this year: the Rockets or the Cavs. I’m leaning towards the Cavs because they always have a chance in the East (well as long as they have the Global Icon), but there’s something really appealing about Yao and T-Mac, two of my favorite guys —...
