On last night's 'Colbert Report,' Stephen Colbert sat down with Sherry Turkle, an MIT professor who recently wrote a book about the devastating effects that technology has had on the human race. Throughout the interview, Turkle tirelessly argues that things like social networking and text messaging are turning us into alienated, soulless automatons. And, as he always does, Colbert deftly shoots ...

For generations of geeks -- yes, we went to space camp -- NASA was the center of all things science and technology. Dwindling budgets, declining public interest, and a lack of gee whiz tech may be plaguing the agency today, but don't worry, the nerds are still in command. Wired writes about the long-running military tradition, which NASA adopted with a twist, of creating mission patches. We're ...

As members of the Colbert Nation are already helplessly aware, Stephen has upgraded his bad self with a sweet new black iPhone 3G. (Let's just hope his doesn't crash and burn -- we wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that rant.) But perhaps more importantly, do you know where he gets his ringtone? Here's a hint: it comes from a television show starring single, skinny, coffee-swilling ...

What more is there to say? Rush tries to get down with 'Rock Band' backstage at the 'Colbert Report.' The results are simultaneously hilarious and sad as the legendary Canadian rockers struggle to keep up with their own hit single. Of course, this confirms what we and Slash of Guns N' Roses have been saying all along, 'Guitar Hero' and 'Rock Band' are nothing like the real thing. [Source: Boing ...

For quite some time, if you Googled "Greatest Living American" and hit "I'm Feeling Lucky" you'd be redirected to faux-pundit Stephen Colbert's page. Colbert achieved that status thanks to asking his legion of fans to "Google Bomb" his name with that term, posting it everywhere possible to increase his ratings. He no longer has that honor, thanks to another would-be who is bribing people with ...

In what promises to be the most entertaining court trial since 'My Cousin Vinny,' Google is throwing down a challenge to Viacom, which is suing the search company cum omnipresence to the tune of $1 billion for copyright infringement. The challenge: Google wants two of Viacom's best known personalities -- Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert -- to give depositions. Before Viacom and YouTube ever ...
