Ruh-Roh. The status blog for 4Chan (the evil heart of the Internet) is reporting that they have been “explicitly blocked” by Verizon.

How to Master the Video Games was published in 1981. It taught the reader how to get the most gameplay out of their quarter. I don't know about you, but I always wanted to know how to beat Pac Man.

No matter how bad things may get, there will always be a place for pornography and angry comments.
After the iPad was so poorly received by critics for its shortcomings, Apple took the designs back to the drawing board.

Chat Roulette is quickly becoming the go to site if you want to chat with the most socially depraved people you will ever interact with. It's mostly dudes masturbating, but every now and then you'll get a good laugh out of it.
