Y U Mad? Anonymous Flame the FBI

It was supposed to have been a top secret telephone conference between FBI and Scotland Yard police chiefs. But there was just one flaw - someone else was listening in to their cosy chat. And not just someone, but Anonymous.

Say hello to Ed Uncovered

There’s something different about Edinburgh Uncovered - it’s had a sex change. Or rather a domain change. And a facelift. And a boob job and a penis reduction (because four inches is more than enough). Welcome to the new-look Ed Uncovered...

The day after the day the internet fought back: SOPA gets F’d in the A

As citizens of the 21st century, we have lived through some of the most tumultuous events in modern history: September 11th, the War in Iraq and Janet Jackson’s Superbowl nipple slip to name but a few. Today, another Moon landing, Kennedy-killing ‘Where were you?’ moment can be added to that list.

The day the internet fought back: Anonymous, SOPA & the Battle for Free Speech

An almighty battle is about to commence, the likes of which the world has never seen. The war zone will span timezones and continents, while its foot soldiers will span every segment of society. School kids; teachers; artists and CEOs, united as a single force to fight their common foe.

This internet has been c**sored: Anonymous, SOPA & the Battle for Free Speech

UFOs. Incest. LOLcats. Gore. Nazis. Trolls. More LOLcats. Midgets. Bieber. Bestiality. Welcome to the internet, the home of free speech and free porn.

Nando’s Tastes of Cock

Once upon a time, a man decided to open a restaurant where the chicken was grilled freshly, ordering was simple and the staff were pleased to see you. It’s a happy story about a happy kind of restaurant, but one which has absolutely nothing to do with the tale I’m about to relate.

Wagamama Edinburgh

15 years since Ewan McGregor memorably pegged it down Princes Street with security on his heels, Edinburghians still groan when the phrase positive living is bandied about by visitors. So why, in 2011, has Wagamama decided to afflict Edinburgh’s bemused population with an AIDS joke that’s a decade too late?

The Death of Facebook

Facebook died long before its 800 million users found themselves up in arms over a bit of skin appearing in their news feed. The site has been in terminal decline for over two years now, insidiously haemorrhaging content and replacing it with ads, spam and pictures of cute kittens.

Just Say No To Chuggers

Dear Shiny Happy Person who’d like to become my five-minute friend, I would love to donate to the cause you’re hustling collecting for, really, I would. But first, I feel it is my duty to draw your attention to an even worthier cause, one that lies closer to home.

Beethoven for Breakfast

With a name like Beethoven for Breakfast, it stands to reason that this show won’t form the finale to a bacchanalian night’s boozing. It’s 9:30am in the Royal Over-Seas League building on Princes Street. A few patrons do seem a little unsteady on their feet, admittedly, but thankfully they have their sticks for support.
