Why Snapchat might upend social media, undermine law enforcement and make the internet fun againPhotograph by Charlie Engman
God, I hope the physical cover does that.
The winner of our competition to find the best print ad is … Google.
This ad was picked as the best of the bunch, and Google will win $1 million in print advertising in USA TODAY.
Google told the New York Times that it would give that ad space to “people who need it.”

When Drudge Is A Genius
Is when you’re still up at 2 in the morning, alone in an empty apartment on a mattress, half-empty coke zero bottles scattered around the room, and sneakers inches away from your face that are beginning to smell like Chinese food, and you click on Drudge and you get that photo lay-out he has right now.
Sully
Andrew Sullivan gets at least half credit for this. That sentence is sublime.
That One Where Mitt Romney Appears To Be Having An Existential Crisis.
When you screw up Venn diagrams, you open yourself up to responses like this one. Just an FYI.
Coolest thing you’ll see today: A guy managed to play a reel-to-reel tape through his iPod Touch using a slightly-modified Square credit card reader, which seems obvious if you think about it, but not so much at first. Clever work, bro. (via Hacker News)
Paul apparently set off an airport security full-body scanner “on a glitch,” a spokesman in Paul’s office told ABC News.
The Paul staffer said TSA agents would not let Paul walk back through the body scanner and were demanding a full body pat-down.
The Paul spokesman said his office called TSA administrator John Pistole about the incident this morning.

As you might have noticed, we’ve been somewhat light on the Iowa caucus coverage today in part because it’s gotten so overwhelming. (We’re leaving the good stuff for tomorrow, when it ACTUALLY HAPPENS.) But Scott Siepker, this guy … This guy. He offers a progressive defense to the perception that Iowa is full of conservatives that don’t represent the country at large. And wow, it just makes you like you’ve been translated to Iowa for three minutes. You get it, with lines like: “Next time you ‘fly over’? Give us a wave. We’ll wave back. We’re nice. That’s right. We’re nice. @(&!%!^.” It’s profane, but there’s a PG-rated version over here. Must watch. (h/t Buzzfeed)

“It’s vital our fans have trust in everything Hanson do,” Zac Hanson, the band’s now 26-year old drummer, explained. “We are soon going to be selling our own beer. I’m not joking - MMMhop IPA anyone?”
MMMhop IPA? Hanson, that’s brilliant.
