Seeded on Thu Dec 8, 2011 11:04 AM EST (the Mail online)

Seeded on Wed Dec 7, 2011 11:54 PM EST (CBS News)

Seeded on Wed Aug 1, 2007 12:36 PM EDT (Destructoid)

Want corporations to treat animals ethically? You could be a terrorist...
Seeded on Thu Oct 5, 2006 3:22 PM EDT (Big Cat Rescue)

Conspiracy of Silence - now on Google Video!
Seeded on Mon Sep 18, 2006 12:08 PM EDT (Google)
This is the famous Discovery Channel documentary that was never aired. It's quite interesting, but might be a bit NSFW, so consider yourself warned. This deals with a lot of the same issues as the "The Franklin Coverup" Franklin Coverup Scandal

Ben Underwood, 14, was interviewed on Ellen Degeneres for her daytime talk show, and received a rather nice gift from Nintendo as a parting gift. That was a very nice gesture by the big-N, and will surely make him the most popular kid in school for the next few months.

More bad news about the Diebold voting machines. How much longer until we just give up on electronic voting and stick with what works (most of the time). Video included!

"A couple of untrained 54-year old women from Black Box Voting bought $12 worth of tools and in four minutes penetrated the memory card seals, removed, replaced the memory card, and sealed it all up again without leaving a trace." Frightening.
The fall of 5 great game companies
Seeded on Thu Jul 6, 2006 12:57 PM EDT (-)
Wasn't sure if this should be in Technology or Entertainment, video games are the fine line between both. I was glad to see that they mentioned Looking Glass Studios. The Thief and System Shock series were some of the best games ever made.
America: Freedom to Fascism trailer
Seeded on Thu Jun 22, 2006 12:56 AM EDT (Apple)
America: Freedom to Fascism This looks to be a bit of a sensationalist documentary, but most of the things mentioned in the trailer are very real threats (though, like the implantable ID, they may never come to fruition, but it is a possibility, nonetheless).
The end of "Checks and Balances"
Seeded on Wed Jun 21, 2006 11:20 PM EDT (EFF)
