Mark Zuckerberg landed himself a guest spot on last weekend's episode of 'The Simpsons.' The Facebook founder was hanging out at an entrepreneurial expo where he broke the unfortunate news to Lisa that many of the biggest names in business, including Sir Richard Branson and Bill Gates, are college dropouts. As Nelson so poetically puts it, "Better earnin' than learnin'!" ...

'The Simpsons' began its twentieth season last September, and now -- at long, long last -- we're going to see Bart, Homer, Lisa and the whole gang in high-definition. Starting on Sunday, February 15th, the American sitcom that has entertained both young and old for decades will make its high-def debut on FOX. Just let this simmer on your mind for a minute, then feel free to explode in comments ...

In the last few election cycles, the big names in bungled elections were Ohio and Diebold (which has been renamed Premier ...

Online virtual worlds are taking over. It would seem as though World of Warcraft and Second Life are cultish phenomena inhabited primarily by the uber-dorky, but if mainstream television is an indicator, things are changing.
