Wireless Modem for Only $9.99 and 100% Free Internet!

Tired of paying too much for Internet access that only works from home? Check out this exclusive offer from FreedomPop to help make Internet affordable.

Get a FreedomPop 4G USB Stick Bolt, a $50.00 value, for only $9.99 with free shipping. Better yet, get 2 GB of data at no charge! There is no contract required, cancel anytime. This offer is available for a limited time.

The Bolt pairs perfectly with a laptop to get you online anywhere using a secure internet connection. FreedomPop is also giving out their “Premier” service for free, which includes data rollover, usage alerts, security and “Protection Plus.”

Continue the service after the trial period, and FreedomPop is just $17.99 a month for 2 GB of data—way below the average service provider. That’s seriously discounted Internet service.

There are a variety of monthly service plans to choose from. For households with minimal data needs, FreedomPop provides 500 MB of free Internet indefinitely! That’s perfect for the casual user who just needs to check e-mail and log in occasionally. 2GB is for an average user who doesn’t stream movies or do hardcore gaming.

Praised by the Wall Street Journal and CNBC, FreedomPop is available at home or on-the-go for mobile devices. The best part? There are no contracts to lock users in for years at a time; just pay as you go.

Earlier this year we ordered the FreedomPop Stick Bolt. It arrived in a week and worked immediately out of the box. We used it in several locations and found the access fast, stable and reliable. We also had no problems with customer service when we changed our monthly plan and eventually cancelled (just to check the process). The billing was as we expected and checking monthly usage was a snap!

Turn Everything on the Internet Into Ryan Gosling at the Click of a Button

Have you ever been looking at a website and thought, "Man, this would be so much better if every photo on here was of Ryan Gosling instead?" There's a Chrome extension for that! Genius web developer Katherine Champagne felt our pain and designed "Hey, Girl", a device that turns everything on the Internet -- from news about a global crisis to your Facebook feed -- into Ryan Gosling.

Gee, let me think if I want to do thi-- YES!

Think about how much better your day will be. You're reading another depressing news story about how a study just concluded that everything sucks, everyone is the worst, and we're all gonna die. Who's there to make things a bit cheerier? Ryan Gosling! You're looking through all the bleak options on a dating site, and who do you see accompanying the god-awful profiles? Ryan Gosling! You're mindlessly scrolling through your newsfeed on Facebook, and instead of looking at pictures of people's inventive salads, kids in sunglasses, and feet in the sand on vacation, who's there? The Gos!

Hey, Girl makes the Internet fun again! All at the push of a button. Sure, there are plenty of cats out there who always know how to put a smile on our face after a particular trying 'net session. See below:

But how many cats can give you special feelings like this:

Oh. And, um, smoking's bad?

Would you like to see the entire Internet turned into Ryan Gosling?

Google Shuts Down for 5 Minutes and the Internet Disappears

Imagine that the world's only map gets lost. Or the computer that controls every single traffic light in the world goes down. Now you have somewhat of a vision of what happened when -- zoinks! -- Google went down on Friday!!! During the five minutes that Google search went dark, there was a 40 percent drop in global traffic! In other words, we all sat there with our fingertips hovering over the keyboard ... totally ... LOST.

Says Internet traffic analytics firm GoSquared:

Google.com was down for a few minutes between 23:52 and 23:57 BST on 16th August 2013. This had a huge effect in the number of pageviews coming into GoSquared's real-time tracking -- around a 40% drop, as this graph of our global pageviews per minute shows. That's huge. As internet users, our reliance on google.com being up is huge. It's also of note that pageviews spiked shortly afterwards, as users managed to get to their destination.

OMG. Well, I personally didn't notice it, it must have happened during one of my brief lulls during the day when I'm actually NOT using Google. Hey, I've tried other search engines. They suck.

Most of us keep the sites we traffic frequently in our browser and they pop up automatically or we find them in our bookmarks. But if we're looking for, say, "Greek restaurant Smith Street" or "places that sell monkeys NYC" or looking for a news story or recipe or the weather or even doing a little ex stalking, where do you go? Google!!

I'm sure if Google ever shut down permanently, we'd all slowly crawl out of our dark corners and blindly feel along the sides of the Internet until we eventually stumbled upon what we were looking for. But we've all become hopelessly reliant on Google. No wonder the government is watching it! (Supposedly.)

I'm an early Google adapter. A relative of mine suggested it to me over a decade ago, when everyone was still using Yahoo search. I couldn't believe how much easier it was. It took the rest of the world about five years to catch on.

But now we all can't imagine life without Google the same way we can't imagine going back to pay phones or vinyl albums. Can you fathom actually having to, like, go to the phone book to find a place? Does anyone even have one of those things anymore?!

Google, we're counting on you. Don't let that happen again, 'kay? PLEASE?! For the love of God, Google!! ARE YOU LISTENING??!!

Do you ever worry about what would happen if Google goes down?

Troll de Internet que está roto en cámara tiene reacción invaluable (VIDEO)

Hay algo que es tan muy gratificante ver un troll de Internet busted IRL. En línea, parece grande, malo y confianza. Un flautista de tipo desagradable, menos descarados comentaristas. Pero cuando se enfrentan en persona, que parecen ser exactamente lo contrario. Están asustados, tranquila y parece que sólo quieren salir de este lugar da miedo grande llamado "el mundo" y corre a casa con la seguridad de su compooter bonita.

Un reportero de noticias recientemente roto uno de los trolls más infames de la Internet, "EBayIsAJoke", cuya misión en línea es derribar a los vendedores de eBay por ataques a sus negocios en los comentarios sección--aunque sus prácticas están perfectamente bien. El segmento de "noticias" es algo muy gracioso y hace todo más divertido señalando su enemigo mortal de ese EBayIsAJoke es un vendedor llamado a Joe tapacubos (Gyz, en qué mundo estamos viviendo?). Pero el hecho de que fue arrestado otro troll... y todo esto es caught on tape , es impresionante.

Echale un vistazo.

(Nota: es un video de 9 minutos. Si quieres llegar a la parte buena, pase a 6:10.)

No da tanto miedo ya. Charles "EBayIsAJoke" Fitch tuve la misma reacción exacta cada otro troll cuando se enfrentó a un equipo de noticias: cabeza abajo, evasivas y tratando de conseguir en su auto lo más rápido posible. Hemos llegado a ver a alguien que posee su trolling. Al menos podríamos tener un mínimo de respeto hacia una persona que hace eso. Estas personas saben lo que están haciendo está mal, sin embargo, siguen a hacerlo sin ninguna razón en absoluto que para lastimar a la gente.

Parte de mí--la parte tonta... se siente mal por Charles "Chuck" Fitch, que el Daily Mail se describe como "un soltero obeso que parece vivir por sí mismo y permanecer dentro de la mayor parte del día." El tipo claramente no podía ser más miserable en su propia vida. Pero la otra parte de mí--la parte lógica--está contenta de que este gigante ducha estaba rota.

¿Qué opinas de esto?
