Only two days after we wrote about Tumblr's capitulation to advertising interests—by blasting porno Tumblrs out into the phantom zone—the company is already apologizing.

Public transit in the Bay Area is so bad that it's devolved into a Mad Max techno-libertarian sci-fi hell-scape, with citizens forced to hitch rides with romantic predators or just yacht to work. But if you work for a big tech company, you get a luxury charter shuttle. Sounds fair, right? SF is struggling to keep everyone happy.

What a kind heart. Right now, middling trade pub editor and anti-labor activist Sarah Lacy is talking about a story her website recently botched. It's boring, so don't click that, but she did have one line that reveals everything you need to know:

New York's many hotels are very "lamestream," very "conservative" and "traditional." The new best way to explore Silicon Alley is by renting this "cabin caravan," which is a fun way to describe a tiny plywood trailer located in a parking lot that has no running water.

Bitly, Borkly, Barnly, Molestly, Strinkingly, Happily, Crappily, Maply, Morply, Dottly, Dootly, Godly, Angrily. It's bad enough when every new startup is just based on the one that came before it. Now they all sound the same, too.

Have you ever cared about something as much as Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos cares about NASA engine components at the bottom of the sea? I doubt it. Note to all American tycoons: this is how you should show off.

The collapse of American industry is nothing in the face of disruptive apps. Don't take my word for it—the unbridled optimism of Startupvania is never wrong.

Not many people had ever heard about Paltalk, a group chat service, until it was mentioned alongside Facebook and Google during the initial PRISM scandal. Now, its PR team is using this scarce, horrible press as a hook.

Actress and mobile payments startup advisor Alyssa Milano wrote a comic book inspired by the secret life of Jack Dorsey. It's called "Hacktivist," so don't get your yacht hopes up.

After four years in San Francisco's Noe Valley hood, one of Twitter's dads, Evan Williams, is moving on to something better, and presumably more expensive.

Deals sites stopped being fun some time ago, and now the companies that staked their entire existence on local coupons are feeling the burn. And then there's LivingSocial, which is feeling the burn because it's setting its own shirt on fire.

You'd think Scott Jones—the man who created ChaCha, a boutique search engine backed by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos—is a wise man. Or at least not the sort who gets busted about his mistress online. He's raised tens of millions of bucks! But nobody ever said startup guys are smart, even if they're in the answer business.

Since Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer began circling around Tumblr's billion dollar GIF vortex, we wondered what it'd do with the nasty stuff: the dog sex, the rape porn. Or even the more mild takes on fucking. Now we're starting to see: porn gets put where no one can find it.

This summer, you won’t have to go far to find a Candy Crush player. There they are: begging lives off strangers on the subway platform, bonding with fellow acolytes at the DMV, taking time off work to focus on what matters—literally wearing their lack of productivity like a badge. "Sometimes I just go into the bathroom and sit on the seat and play," a colleague confessed, describing some quality in-office downtime. "I don't tell many people that . . ."

If you use an iPhone or iPad to cruise Tumblr, change your login ASAP: the company just admitted a serious flaw in its iOS apps makes it easy for someone to steal your password out of thin air.
