Israel-Based Medical Research Company Smites Cancer

Fallout From SOPA/PIPA Strike; Work Left To Be Done
The internet’s back on. Everybody okay? No lost limbs? Good. A lot has happened in the last 24 hours since Wikipedia, Reddit, and many other powerful websites went dark to protest SOPA and PIPA. Let’s take a look at the developments, but first a new short video released by New Left Media explaining why PIPA […]
What Happened To My Internet?
We at Techcitement stand with Wikipedia, Google, Craigslist, MoveOn, WordPress, BoingBoing, Cheezburger, and many other influential websites in protesting the proposed SOPA and PIPA bills currently before the U.S. Congress.

The Net Killer A.K.A. SOPA
Recently, a petition to get Marvel Comics to stop supporting SOPA, or the Stop Online Piracy Act, appeared online.
