We Are Hunted - The Online Social Networking Music Chart
We Are Hunted - The Online Music ChartWe Are Hunted is the Online Music Chart.
We listen to what people are saying about artists and their music on blogs, social networks like Facebook and MySpace, message boards and forums, Twitter and P2P networks to chart the top songs online everyday.
A new Top of the Pops
In the physical world, charts are built on shipped albums. Online charts have been a simple count of digital downloads. We Are Hunted is different. We discover new music from around the web and detect sentiment, expression and advocacy to understand what people like and dislike.

Hulu iPhone App Coming, and It's "Badass"
Gizmodo - Hulu iPhone App Coming, and It's "Badass" - Iphone hulu
Hulu is developing an iPhone app that'll stream over 3G and Wi-Fi, and it's "badass." It'll hit "within a few months." I've been dreaming of this moment since Joost's app.
30 Rock, Dollhouse, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, Arrested Development, oh yes. Any hope AT&T has of charging people a monthly fee for mobile TV dies with a Hulu app, especially once ABC jumps onboard and it hits other mobile platforms (which it surely will). If it truly delivers the full Hulu experience—every video with a great UI—the potential awesomeness literally blows my mind.

Bazooka Joe might get a Movie?!
Bazooka Origins: Joe to Tell Haunting Back Story of One-Eyed Gum Mascot | Movieline
It’s called Bazooka Joe, a script commissioned by Eisner’s Tornante shingle to help pump interest in the Topps-owned brand. It remains to be determined if Mark Hammer’s screenplay will somehow make Bazooka any less stale or preserve its flavor past its current three-minute threshold, but that hardly compromises the fascinating nature of the project. On one hand, as THR notes, the comic adventures of Bazooka Joe and his ragtag gang have plenty of potential family appeal (unless you’re a dentist).

Danger Mouse's Next Album Will Be A Blank CD-R
Gizmodo - Danger Mouse's Next Album Will Be A Blank CD-R - Danger Mouse
Danger Mouse, the amazing mashup artist, producer, and half of Gnarls Barkley, is unable to release his newest album due to legal battles with his label, so he's embracing piracy to get his music heard.After "legal battles," Danger Mouse's new album has been shelved by his label, EMI. But fearful that his work would never be heard, Danger Mouse came up with an idea to get his music out there while at the same time showing his anger at EMI. The album, entitled Dark Night of the Soul, will be sold as a "100+ page book" of photographs inspired by the music and taken by David Lynch, and will include a blank CD-R to be filled with torrented mp3s.

"The amazing Slush Mug turns nearly any beverage into a Slushee (aka Slurpee) in just a few minutes. Because the Slush Mug doesn't use ice or a blender, it doesn't water down your Slushee like other products.

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

Apple Continues Censorship, Rejects Jesus App
DailyTech - Apple Continues Censorship, Rejects Jesus App
Developer Benjamin Kahle wanted to give iPhone app fans their own personal Jesus with his new "Me So Holy" iPhone app (follow the link to see video of the app). However, Mr. Kahle found out the hard way that Apple tightly controls what it content it considers moral enough for its iPhone customers. Continuing the saga of rejected apps -- which include a South Park app and the "Baby Shaker" app -- the new Jesus-themed app has now become the latest Apple reject.
The "Me So Holy" app arguably gives users a humorous introduction to the world's religions. It features various religious figures, including Jesus, and allows iPhone users to take their own picture, crop it, and put it in place of Jesus and company's faces. Apple quickly rejected the app, informing Mr. Khale that it was "objectionable".

Life on the Radio Wave - kids and technology comics from the 1920's
Barnacle Press: Life on the Radio Wave
comics centering around last century's big radio craze. It might be easy to dismiss Life on the Radio Wave as just another one of those features were it not in fact the product of a legendary figure not generally known for his work on the comics page - take a look at the signature on one of these panels. That's right, "Pinto" is none other than Vance DeBar "Pinto" Colvig! Animation pioneer! The original Bozo the Clown! The voice of Goofy! And Bluto! Co-composer of the children's song Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?! He even voiced some of the munchkins in MGM's The Wizard of Oz...good gravy, this guy's resume goes on and on.
