Get out your pitchforks and torches, Twitter hosted a frat-themed party for its employees, complete with beer pong.
"This social event organized by one team was in poor taste at best, and not reflective of the culture we are building here at Twitter," Prosser said. "We've had discussions internally with the organizing team, and they recognize that this theme was ill-chosen."

No Right To Privacy When You Butt Dial Someone
Not only is it embarrassing to butt dial someone, the courts have ruled that you also have no reasonable expectation of privacy during that call either. You learn something new everyday.
Today in issues we never thought a court would weigh in on: if you accidentally pocket dial someone, pulling the move we all know as "butt dialing," don't expect anything you say during the call you don't know you're making to stay private. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Kentucky ruled yesterday [PDF] that a person who butt dials another party during a conversation doesn't have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Thirteen Months of Working, Eating, and Sleeping at the Googleplex
This article makes it seem like the only way to succeed is by living under your desk or be the creepy dude parked in a van in the employee parking lot.
Or there's the time in 2005, when Weaver, then a 27-year-old "site ecologist" at Google, decided on a friend's dare to do away with his 90-minute commute by living out of an RV in the Google parking lot. Other Googlers had been known to sleep on-site for a few days or weeks. To win the dare, Weaver had to last a full year. He did, and his record stood for about five years. Then Ben Discoe, another programmer, arrived at Google knowing nothing of Weaver's feat. "An RV?" Discoe says when asked about it recently. "That's cheating."

What Google Is Doing With Google+ Photos
Google+ Photos is being replaced by Google Photos. Apparently the best way to let people know you've added new features to your product is by removing the "+" from the name.
This is a common problem that hits anyone who stores information via the Web. A company plans to shut down one online service with the intention of replacing it with another. But users of the initial service express concerns, both about losing access to the service and about potentially losing their content. Google's initial blog post from Monday clearly didn't do a very good job of explaining exactly what would become of Google+ Photos, hence requiring a second post to clarify.

An Online Troll Destroys A Family's Offline Life
This kind of crap is getting out of hand. The amount of time and effort people are putting into being a troll is staggering. It's like a full time job.
Trolls are the bane of online forums, games and comment sections, sowing discord with inflammatory remarks and needling other users for laughs. Most are content to cause trouble on the Web, but in the Morenos' case, the lawsuit says, the attacks made the unusual leap from cyberspace to the real world.

Limits at Gawker? Rules at Reddit? Wild West Web Turns A Page
It looks like all the commotion on the internet lately seems to be freaking people out.
More to the point, both were products of the Internet's freewheeling ethos. And both have amply shown what happens when this ethos is taken to its logical extreme, whether it is Redditors' posting of revenge porn on the site's message boards or Gawker's humiliating a relatively unknown media executive. It is one thing to engage in this sort of behavior when you are focused mainly on enlarging your audience or user base. But the calculus changes when you start worrying about alienating advertisers, too.
