HTML5 Porn Coming To An iPad Near You

May 19, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

If Steve Jobs has one unfulfilled dream left , that would be to give this world the ultimate puritan gift: “freedom from porn” . He fought long and hard against the web standard for video and a common video format and he practically destroyed it. But it seems that the web gods must be some crazy hairy palmed folks, because they are not smiling down on his royal Steve-ness.

Today, YouPorn ( 18+ ) announced that they are busy encoding their entire video library into HTML5 format, and therefore it will be available on any iDevice in this world.  It will be just a matter of time until the rest of the adult industry will embrace HTML5 too, and then what Steve?

Freedom from porn? More like the beginning of an annual jerk-fest…

Steve Ballmer Signs Student’s Macbook Pro

January 22, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Earlier this week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer gave the keynote address to the Nashville Technology Council, which was held at Trevecca Nazarene University (TNU) in Nashville, TN. Steve, who is on a multi-city tour to promote Microsoft, joined other prominent technology professionals like Abbie Lundberg, editor-in-chief of CIO Magazine.

After the speeches were done, Steve did a meet-and-greet with TNU Students to answer brief questions, sign autographs and so on. One student asked for Steve’s autograph — on a MacBook Pro.

To his credit, Steve handled the awkward moment well (as another student’s camera rolled), writing “Need a new one? Steve Ballmer” smack-dab over the laptop’s logo. Kudos to Steve for his cool-headed response (we can’t imagine what Steve Jobs would do if asked to sign a Dell) and for that student with the nerve to pull such a stunt.

You can see close ups of the signature here.

Fake Steve Urges iPhone Users to Take Down AT&T

December 15, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Fake Steve has announced Operation Chokehold, at attempt to overwhelm AT&T’s network and let the company know that customers are not happy with their ‘bastardly behavior‘.

Subject: Operation Chokehold
On Friday, December 18, at noon Pacific time, we will attempt to overwhelm the AT&T data network and bring it to its knees. The goal is to have every iPhone user (or as many as we can) turn on a data intensive app and run that app for one solid hour. Send the message to AT&T that we are sick of their substandard network and sick of their abusive comments. The idea is we’ll create a digital flash mob. We’re calling it in Operation Chokehold. Join us and speak truth to power!

Its unclear if anyone will actually participate in this operation considering the satirical nature of the blog and the counter intuitive concept.
