From functionally extinct oysters to shark fin cruelty, recent environmental news has suggested a doom-and-gloom future for global aquaculture. A new report, from The WorldFish Center and Conservation International, takes the notion of the world's bleak seafood system a step further, with a chart that illustrates how the mercy of the world's fish supply lies almost entirely in the hands of one Read more
After a Missouri ice cream shop was banned from selling cicada ice cream to customers, San Francisco's health department has followed suit by telling one restaurant that it can no longer sell chapulines or grasshopper tacos, citing the fact that the purveyor isn't USDA approved. Although purportedly no one has gotten sick in the two-and-a-half years that the item's been offered on his menu, "the Read more
Dissing your competitors seems to be the name of the game for CEOs lately. Not only did Steve Jobs call other tablet makers "copycats" during yesterday's iPad presentation, but across the way at the GDC keynote address, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata was discussing the difference between traditional gaming consoles and the new breed of smartphone and social media platform games, saying that there are Read more
As you may have heard, Apple announced the iPad 2 during a press event in San Francisco yesterday. Reviews so far have been glowing, but Steve Jobs did not hold back on discussing why the company's competitors aren't succeeding in this space. Jobs declared that manufacturers are still designing tablets to work like PCs, when tablets aren't used like regular computers; Apple understands this, Read more
There's no shortage of doggy videos singing along to music, but there are an overwhelming number of clips of pups enjoying Gwen Stefani — could she secretly be a dog whisperer? If your pups love to sing, lemme know what singers always get them going. Read more
While I'm active on Facebook and Twitter for work, I'm far more discerning about the information I share about my personal life. What can I say — GeekSugar has taught me well! A friend recently shared that she was taken aback by the breeder of her dog requesting to be a friend on Facebook and a follower on Twitter since she rarely interacts with the woman anymore. This got me thinking about Read more
With firsthand experience of a dog that barely squeezes past the legal limit for under-the-seat flying, I'd say this adorable Frenchie looks shockingly large, right? Even though Ashley Olsen is petite by comparison, most airlines have a weight limit of 20 pounds of pooch, including the bag he flies in. While there are plenty of cute photos, none show the dog actually boarding (with no pet tote Read more
My pal snapped this picture to share these "Pomeranian/Chihuahua mixes" for sale outside a local shop. Am I the only one that doubts that breed combo made these puppies? But anyway, he mentioned that he felt lucky I wasn't with him because they definitely didn't look old enough to be away from their mother and he knew I'd give the people an earful for all of the above. On the one hand, at least Read more
"Sit, Marilyn Monroe, siiiiit" was commonly overheard at my last apartment. My neighbor named his dog after the late movie star and only referred to her full name at all times. I know that presidential surnames remain popular and adored celebrities like Robert Pattinson (or Cattinson) inspire name choices since when else can you demand that he come over here and snuggle immediately?! Something Read more
I've yet to wrap my head around this bizarre story. It all started when the pictured pooch disappeared from a Kentucky backyard on July 3. Copper, a female Shiba Inu, was found by a policeman and brought to the local animal shelter. The unsuspecting cop later received a phone call that he needed to come retrieve the animal as coyotes weren't allowed there.After consulting with a wildlife expert, Read more
