The TechList: 23.May.2010

1. Pac Man. Dot-munching video game icon turns 30. Ms. Pacman still wishes he’d munch her dots every now and then.

2. Google. Accidentally siphoned data from open WiFi nets for last 3 years. Good thing they’re not evil or we’d be totally screwed.

3. Hotmail. Microsoft overhauls venerable Webmail service. Also releases long-awaited upgrade to DOS 1.1.

4. AT&T. Raises iPhone early termination fee to $325. Because it’s the next best thing to personally fucking all their customers up the ass.

5. Facebook. Says it will consider simplifying its privacy settings. Here’s something simple: How about a Fuck Facebook I Quit button?

6. Pakistan. Bans Facebook after “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” event. FB’s new “Fuck Muslims” button probably didn’t help.

7. Google TV. Coming to a couch near you. In 3 years we’ll find out it "accidentally" siphons data directly from our brains.

8. Retrevo. Survey says 1 in 3 people posted things online they regretted. The other 2 really enjoyed those donkey “honeymoon" pix.

9. HP. Planning to build data centers that run on manure. Why not? Yahoo’s has been running on manure for years.

10. Jupiter. Planet’s southern cloud belt is missing, say scientists. Somebody’s got to say it, so we will: It must be hiding in Uranus.
