With the May 31 deadline looming, a LaLa member who calls himself "The Big Lebowski" (About me: I went out and achieved anyway...) has taken it upon himself to blast Apple's decision to shutter LaLa and its compensatory package. Besides spreading a petition protesting the move, this Dude has authored what amounts to a manifesto outlining his complaints. In precise and surprisingly lucid language he outlines the injustices if the situation. Shades of the Port Huron Statement -- the original Porty Huron Statement, not the compromised second draft. Lebowski is understandably angry that he'll …

Thanks to basketball legend and uber underwear man Michael Jordan, American men will soon know the name of a problem that has been bothering women and stylists since the dawn of casual Friday: Bacon neck. The two new TV spots for Hanes Lay Flat Collars feature Jordan trapped on a plane next to a chatty salesman, who points out the way other passengers' t-shirts pucker when worn with button-down shirts or V-necks. Running on sports and cable shows, Hanes says the ads are designed to appeal to consumers who want a collar that keeps its shape …

Google admitted today in a blog post that its Street View cars inadvertently collected data from non-password protected WiFi networks for three years. The company called the data collection a mistake and said it intends to shed the information.

We want to delete this data as soon as possible, and are currently reaching out to regulators in the relevant countries about how to quickly dispose of it," the …
