Ashton Kutcher's Twitter was hacked while he attended the TED Conference. Someone posted a tweet saying Kutcher had been “punk'd” and asked, “Dude, where's my SSL?” Then there was a follow up referencing “protesters around the world.” Seems like a missed opportunity for a “Butterfly Effect” reference.

I hope they come up with something good for Shaq. Read More ›
