Shhhh: Gmail is down, but don’t tell the White House

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 1, 2009 05:14 PM

Gmail has been down for at least an hour.
But don’t complain too loudly about it.
You know how Rahm Emanuel likes to exploit a crisis…and the last thing we need is another Email Czar.
***
Tip: If you go to igoogle, you should be able to access your gmail.

GoDaddy.com celebrates America

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 3, 2009 01:01 PM

GoDaddy.com, the domain registration giant, was founded by tech entrepreneur and decorated Vietnam veteran Bob Parsons.
The company pays tribute to Independence Day with a wonderful video celebration here. Isn’t it nice to see an Internet company embrace American patriotism?
More about Parsons here.

The NYTimes-Wikipedia whitewash

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 29, 2009 06:32 AM

Would Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales have done this for Fox News or the Washington Times? And if he had/has, wouldn’t the New York Times editorial page blast him for colluding to suppress information from the public?
For seven months, The New York Times managed to keep out of the news the fact that one of [...]

Iran, Twitter, and freedom

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 18, 2009 06:51 AM

Ross Kaminsky, a recent convert to Twitter, has a nice overview for newcomers on the medium and its role in the Iranian uprising. Excerpt:
The impact of Twitter on events in Iran has been noticed by our usually dictator-compliant State Department, which risked insulting the ayatollahs by contacting Twitter to request they postpone a scheduled system [...]

Iran vs. the Internet

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 17, 2009 05:31 AM

Information providers and their conduits, like people, just want to be free. No matter. Outmaneuvered by dissidents on Twitter, Facebook, and blogs, Iran has declared war on the Internet.
It’s a war the Luddite mullahs will lose:
Iran’s most powerful military force is warning online media of a crackdown over their coverage of the country’s election [...]

Obama’s computer security police

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 29, 2009 11:52 AM

So, the president is going to tell us who his computer security czar soon.
Let’s hope it’s not the same person who ran the Obama campaign’s grossly insecure online credit card donation operations.

Dear tech execs, you reap what you sow

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 5, 2009 11:36 AM

Yesterday, I noted that Silicon Valley expressed its displeasure with President Obama’s plans to require corporations to pay billions of dollars in U.S. taxes on foreign earnings that they have previously been allowed to defer.
Today, there’s more whining from the tech companies that boosted Obama’s campaign and filled his coffers.

Dying old media demands affirmative action on Google

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 24, 2009 11:31 AM

This would be funny if it were not so pathetic. Newspaper publishers want Google to adjust its search engine rankings to give preferential treatment to Old Media. The industry is in trouble and it’s looking for any help it can get — and anyone to blame:
Major media companies are increasingly lobbying Google to elevate their [...]

Operation Three Little Piggies

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 17, 2008 09:54 AM

Top Conservatives on Twitter have launched a new action project targeting the “three little piggies” — UAW President Ron Gettelfinger, GM CEO Rick Wagoner, and Chrysler CEO Robert Nardelli. I know I’ve got a lot of fabulous Photoshoppers out there. This one sounds fun. So go and check out Operation Three Little Piggies here and [...]

Debunking Keynesian economics

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 16, 2008 05:16 PM

Watch it on YouTube!
Writes National Post’s Kelly McPharland: “As the Keynesian revival sweeps the policy establishment, here’s a fine antidote. It’s a video on the Keynesian myths behind the global push to crank up government spending and the size of government to stimulate the economy. In less than 8 minutes, Dan Mitchell, a [...]

Inside the world of Google censors

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 29, 2008 11:05 PM

Several weeks ago, I spoke with GWU law professor Jeffrey Rosen about my curious experiences with YouTube’s mystery censors. Longtime readers will remember the battle over “First, They Came.” For the past two years, my attempts to re-upload the little video about the Mohammed Cartoons and violent jihad were blocked. Other users were able to [...]

www.change.gov smells like a fund-raising front

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 7, 2008 05:02 AM

Government domain names (”.gov”) for websites are supposed to be restricted to eligible government organizations and programs.
Does Barack Obama’s transition website, www.change.gov — which is basically a souped-up version of his campaign site — qualify? As Ed Morrissey pointed out yesterday, “The incoming administration technically has no status as a government organization or program until [...]
