It appears that after weeks of controversy, largely fueled by the traditional and online LGBT media, Jarret Barrios of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has resigned after questions surfaced regarding GLAAD’s relationship with AT&T and the company’s regulatory agenda before the Federal Communications Commission and its merger with T-Mobile. This easily could have [...]

On Tuesday night’s The Daily Show, host Jon Stewart heralded the availability of the iPhone to Verizon Wireless customers, breaking the exclusive stranglehold on the devices by much-maligned AT&T. In a bit that comically equated the news to the fall of Baghdad and the end of World War II, correspondent John Oliver chronicled just the latest cruel blow to the once-proud monopoly.

4channers are a formidable bunch. When AT&T blocked 4chan on Sunday, every blogger who knew what was what could see the dark clouds looming on the horizon.

However in this instance, they aren’t looking for expertise in how to stay viable , they want datalogs from Google and AT&T. Keith Kelly reports in the NY Post Today , that Condé Nast is having a problem with hackers

Ah ha! So this is what happened to my Blackberry last night…and shockingly it was not the fault of AT&T. I have to assume that I was not the only one who blamed AT&T when my Blackberry suddenly inexplicably stopped working sometime around 7 last night, and stayed not working until some very early this morning. CNN describes the breakdown in suitably dramatic terms.

Twitter announced several hours ago that it is currently subject to a Distributed Denial-of-Service attack (or DDoS attack), in which hackers, utilizing a network of third-party computers, convince a targeted site that it is experiencing vast amounts of “phantom traffic” until it slows and finally crashes.
