Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are social networks we use every day without realizing it. It’s become a part of our lives, almost second nature but we never stop to think about the minds behind these sites. We’ve compiled a list of all the genius masterminds behind the creation of the some of the most used and talked about social websites. Read more…

Needless to say, the Internet is here to stay. It’s integrated into every aspect of life, from keeping in touch with friends to sealing business deals to finding the love of your life. It helps you do your homework, throw a party, figure out how to build a gravity bong – for anything you can think of, the Internet is there. But the Internet is also completely changing who you are. Here are 7 Ways the Internet Is Ruining Your Life.  (more…)

With so much information being exchanged over the web, the government has been cracking down as much as they can on what Americans can and can’t do on the internet. A new bill by West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller seeks to let the government completely crackdown and takeover the internet in case of an “emergency.” (more…)

On average, the Internet is good for about four things: porn, news, being more of an assh*le than you’d ever be in person and quirky/hilarious/silly nonsense that helps you get through the workday without slitting your wrists. And one of the best forms of nonsense: infographics – those clever, funny images that sum things up, lickity-split. So get ready Internetians, here are the 50 funniest infographics to ever hit the Web.

What the heck is going on in China. Today, Wall Street Journal is reporting that a 16-year-old kid was beaten to death in “internet addiction” camp by his counselors. They were supposed to treat him but became agitated with him and ended up killing him instead.

The Chinese government is investigating the matter and has closed the internet addiction camp. Besides the atrocity of someone getting killed at a camp that’s supposed to be helping them, what the heck is an internet addiction camp? I can’t even believe there are such things. You want someone to stop using the internet, just cancel the service, get rid of the computer. There are much better ways to stop the “addiction” than sending a kid to a camp.

We here at COED have long thought that AT&T was a giant pile of steaming sh*t, based purely on our cell phone service: constant dropped calls, disappearing voicemail, geriatric-like 3G speeds in New York.

But it seems the retarded behemoth of communication has now pissed off pretty much everyone – by effectively censoring the Internet.

The conspiracy started after AT&T blocked threads on the cesspool of the Internet, 4Chan.org, who’s responsible for about 90-percent of the online memes you know and love (LOLCats, Rick Rolls, etc…).

Claiming it was protecting its customers from a DDoS attack, AT&T disallowed traffic to 4Chan’s popular threads, /b/ and /r9k/. This came after a campaign on 4Chan and Digg to spread false rumors that AT&T CEO, Randall Stephenson was found unexpectedly dead outside his home.

To thicken the conspiracy, popular posts about the 4Chan block were mysteriously removed from the front page of Reddit.com.

The 4Chan block has now been lifted. But still, this DDoS attack claim is obviously bullsh*t, what with the false rumors and all.

Now, since AT&T’s communications infrastructure is so vast, pretty much all online activity goes through AT&T in one way or another – so you’re probably not going to be able to stop using all AT&T services altogether, without – gasp – quitting the Internet. But if you can stop giving them money directly, now would be the time.

UPDATE: According to an officially released statement from AT&T, the censorship of 4Chan was nothing but some good ol’ parental protection:

“Beginning Friday, an AT&T customer was impacted by a denial-of-service attack stemming from IP addresses connected to img.4chan.org. To prevent this attack from disrupting service for the impacted AT&T customer, and to prevent the attack from spreading to impact our other customers, AT&T temporarily blocked access to the IP addresses in question for our customers. This action was in no way related to the content at img.4chan.org; our focus was on protecting our customers from malicious traffic.

Overnight Sunday, after we determined the denial-of-service threat no longer existed, AT&T removed the block on the IP addresses in question. We will continue to monitor for denial-of-service activity and any malicious traffic to protect our customers.”

The tech blogs seem to be accepting this statement as the truth. But since it, you know, came from AT&T, I’m not so sure…

UPDATE 2: PCMag.com is reporting that, ironically, the DDoS attack that AT&T claims was coming from 4Chan.org was actually directed at 4Chan.org.

…unWired, a different ISP [from AT&T], states on NANOG (North American Network Operators Group, an insider discussion board for ISPs) that they also had to block 4chan to mitigate the effects of a DDOS attack. Other ISPs on the discussion disagree, especially on a wide scale blocking of the site. 4chan’s “history of pulling pranks” also seems to have figured into this. The DDOS, ironically, seems to be an attack on 4chan. From my Verizon FiOS connection in New Jersey I can get to 4chan, but it’s very slow. [Emphasis added]

Sometimes, it’s nice to have a little mystery in your life. And by mystery, we mean “safe for work” boobs – that fantastic category of mostly naked, but not quite, that we all love so much. Yes, nudity is great and nipples are amazing, but without a little cover-up sometimes, both seem a little less special. And because of that, we’ve compiled this Comprehensive Guide to SFW Boobs. Here, you’ll find everything from kick ass cleavage shots to super sexy side boobs to some sh*t you’ve never even heard of. So sit back, relax and get ready for more awesome boobage than a Lucy Pinder slumber party. (more…)

When most people get bored at work, they just look at crap on the Internet – probably videos like this. This old dude, on the other hand, straps himself to an F’ing crane and has his friend swing around him around in circles. Sure, you keep thinking his arms are going to rip off his body at any second, but that doesn’t make this any less awesome.

For those of us (everyone) who hates the new Facebook…
