Mark Zuckerberg's sister, literary patriot and media titan, owes every ounce of her non-career to her surname—and the cosmos keeps smiling upon her. PayPal, an otherwise serious and respectable corporation, has forged an unholy promotional bond with Randi—and that's bad for everyone except Randi.

If you attended college in the mid-to-late-2000s, you probably remember JuicyCampus, a web terror that let students spread anorexia rumors and "WHO GOT FATTEST??" roundups, anonymously. Moral panic perfection. It probably made more than a few people miserable—and now the guy behind it wants forgiveness.

Dreamforce 2013 attendees sit outside and watch a DJ. Repeat after me: This is a business conference for adults, this is a business conference for adults, this is a business conference for adults, this is a business conference for adults, this is a business conference for adults, this is a business conference for adults...

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman just went full hashtag on Twitter to celebrate the news that Google reached a $17 million multi-state settlement over tracking consumers online. But considering that Google made $14.9 billion just last quarter, it hardly seems like a victory for consumer privacy.

After pricing much of San Francisco out of affordable housing, budding tech-types are regrouping in style: hotels, theaters, and other gaudy structures are now converted group homes, and having 12 roommates has never been so cushy.

Seasteading never sounded so jaunty!: "Today, San Francisco's freethinkers are techies, and the nautical life is back in vogue."

Sheryl Sandberg didn't need to write an updated version of Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism about leaning in to the end of weekends. Tech workers have already internalized that message that there should be no distinction between work and life. Rather, spiritual fulfillment lies in "peak productivity."

Mark Zuckerberg's pet lobbying group has a new CTO, Darius Contractor. Like any friend of Zuck's, Darius has an extensive back catalog of Facebook tags, including one in which he's dressed as an American Indian, standing before a "God Bless America" banner in front of a door on which a border crossing warning sign hangs. Immigration reform was a natural next step.

Once you've exposed your secret hope that Silicon Valley will secede from the U.S. and "opt-in" to a society "run by technology," there's only one place left to go: Bitcoin Country!

Tech has made it effortless to order takeout or get a limo, but social climbing is the same as it ever was: if you give a bunch of historically unglamorous, uncool startup people a bunch of money, they're going to try to make friends with people like this unbearable Manhattan DJ.

One downside of Silicon Valley's ultra-insular groupthink fiesta is that it produces things like "Coin." Coin is a company that sells a product that will solve a fake problem, and soothe a tiny cohort of techie whiners. But when that's all you know, it feels like The Next Big Thing. It's not.

Before its impending IPO, King claims that Candy Crush has been installed half a billion times and that more than 150 billion individual games have been played. Here, lie down on the couch and let a few shrinks tell you why it's so addictive.

Sometimes when girls be gaming, they like to bite their bottom lip as they lean suggestively upon an electronic device. Other times, female gamers coyly bite down on a power cord while their cleavage is exposed because they just love gaming that hard.

As expected, only more: Fab.com has confirmed it just gave 81 employees (73 full-time, and eight temps) at the shopping site their three-month notice.

It looks like gossip is traveling at Hyperloop speed over Snapchat's hubris in turning down $3 billion in cash from Facebook. Om Malik just tweeted the latest: After Facebook, "Google offered $4B but @evanspiegel said no! Nice way to drive up valuation." Valleywag heard the same.

As the internet shit its collective denim pants yesterday upon news of Snapchat's Facebook refusal, there were some outliers—very prominent outliers. You might think two 23-year-olds refusing three billion dollars is lunacy, but these tech insiders think you're the crazy one.

Police in Laval, a large suburb just north of Montreal, arrested ten teenage boys this morning. Each were suspected of producing and distributing child pornography. Many of their alleged victims used Snapchat and assumed the pictures had been deleted.

Google has officially perfected the shameless tearjerker advertisement. Corporate propaganda at its absolute loveliest.

With another round of layoffs coming, a co-founder departure, and top management hemorrhaging, haute-shopping startup Fab.com needs a corporate Hail Mary. Here's CEO Jason Goldberg's plan to remake the company. If your name's not mentioned here, you might be in trouble!
