Yahoo embraces porn ads again, sort of







Yahoo embraces porn ads again, sort of

Yahoo embraces porn ads again, sort of 11/18/2003 05:31 PM

Yahoo yanked X-rated products and banner ads from its American portal under pressure from conservative groups in 2001 -- but apparently, they're now back in the biz:

With the acquisition of Overture Services last month, Yahoo is now selling ads to a range of hard-core Web sites. Those ads appear on two search engines Yahoo acquired as part of the Overture deal -- AltaVista and AlltheWeb.com. Yahoo's latest embrace of the adult industry has attracted little attention until now. The Sunnyvale company has kept the adult ads off its popular U.S. portal, which has a mainstream image. Instead, the ads appear only on what are relatively small Web sites that few Internet users identify with Yahoo. The ads are also exported to Web sites outside the Yahoo family such as InfoSpace, which owns its own branded search engine, plus Dogpile and Metacrawler.

Is Yahoo Back In The Porn Business?


Is Yahoo Back In The Porn Business? 11/19/2003 08:10 AM
A few years ago, a bored reporter was surfing around Yahoo and noticed that within their market place area you could buy pornographic DVDs (though, in a well marked section that was clearly not for kids) and that for certain search terms, Yahoo was returning advertisements for porn websites. Now, we won't ask how this reporter "just happened" to stumble across this information, but his article sent the groups that get concerned about such things into a tizzy and they threatened Yahoo with all sorts of bad publicity. Yahoo backed down and removed the DVDs and the banner ads. Now, however, with their purchase of Overture, it turns out they're back in the porn ad selling business, and are hoping that the same groups that spent so much time and effort protesting a few years ago won't notice. Now, personally, I have no problems with Yahoo selling whatever they want, so long as it isn't illegal, but it will be interesting to see (a) if anyone cares this time around and (b) if Yahoo backs down again.

Rael recently noted a shift among Unix folk in pinging google.com instead of yahoo.com when checking for network availability: It's not, mind you, that yahoo.com has become unreachable or unstable; just the Google has so come to represent the very essence of stability and reachability that it's made its way to our every ping.

where skin porn and food porn collide


where skin porn and food porn collide 03/23/2005 10:09 AM

mmmm

It's fun to use google and see what it returns when searching for 'sticky buns' as, well, the imagination is a poor substitute for reality. When food and skin porn collide it gets fairly ugly pretty quickly. Sticky buns are likely the source of inspiration for the Finnish bostonkakku which are served like a pie rather than the individual buns. One of the guys at work quipped that it is served this way because you can feed 20 instead of 8 people.

I figured that since I was making dallaspulla that I'd make the inspiration for texaspulla and bostonkakku so that my test subjects would know just what they had been missing all these years. :) The dough is a snap to make even without a mixer and is much easier to work with than the pulla dough. The only drawback is the time spent waiting for the dough to rise. With a four-day weekend approaching where absolutely nothing will be open and we'll likely have crappy weather given that it's a holiday, what could be better than making a pan of sticky buns and eating them instead of chocolate eggs? These are, by far, the best cinnamon rolls I've ever made and my test subjects consumed them in a shark chum feeding frenzy. Two guys even asked me for the recipe.

Sticky Buns, a.k.a. caramel rolls or cinnamon rolls

Makes: 12 sticky buns
Time: ~30 minutes prep, 3 hours for dough rising
Source: Cook's Illustrated

This recipe has four components: the dough that is shaped into buns, the filling that creates the swirl in the shaped buns, the caramel glaze that bakes in the bottom of the baking dish along with the buns, and the pecan topping that garnishes the buns once baked. Although the ingredient list may look long, note that many ingredients are repeated. Leftover sticky buns can be wrapped in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 3 days, but they should be warmed through before serving. They reheat quickly in a microwave oven (for 2 buns, about 2 minutes at 50 percent power works well); they can also be put into a 325F/175C-degree oven for about 8 minutes.

Dough

  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (2 dl piima) at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (.5 dl) granulated sugar 
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons table salt 
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast  (1 packet sunnuntai dry yeast)
  • 4 1/4 cups (10,5 dl) unbleached all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting work surface
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled until warm
  1. In bowl of standing mixer, whisk eggs; add buttermilk and whisk to combine.
  2. Whisk in sugar, salt, and yeast.
  3. Add about 2 cups (5 dl) flour and butter; stir with wooden spoon or rubber spatula until evenly moistened and combined.
  4. Add all but about 1/4 cup (1/2 dl) remaining flour and knead with dough hook at low speed 5 minutes.
  5. Check consistency of dough (dough should feel soft and moist but should not be wet and sticky; add more flour, if necessary); knead at low speed 5 minutes longer (dough should clear sides of bowl but stick to bottom).
  6. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface; knead by hand about 1 minute to ensure that dough is uniform (dough should not stick to work surface during hand kneading; if it does stick, knead in additional flour 1 tablespoon at a time).
  7. Lightly spray large bowl or plastic container with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer dough to bowl, spray dough lightly with cooking spray, then cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap.
  8. Set in warm, draftfree spot until doubled in volume, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Caramel Glaze

  • 6 tablespoons or 85g unsalted butter 
  • 3/4 cup (1,75 dl) light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tablespoons corn syrup, light or dark
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream 
  • 1 pinch table salt 
  1. Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for glaze in small saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture is thoroughly combined.
  3. Pour mixture into nonstick metal 13- by 9-inch (33cm x 23cm) baking dish.
  4. Using rubber spatula, spread mixture to cover surface of baking dish.
  5. Set baking dish aside.

Cinnamon-Sugar Filling

  • 3/4 cup (1,75 dl) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
  • 1 pinch table salt 
  • 1 tablespoon or 15g unsalted butter, melted
  • Raisins (optional)
  1. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in small bowl.
  2. Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined, using fingers to break up sugar lumps.
  3. Set aside.

To assemble and bake buns:

  1. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface.
  2. Gently shape dough into rough rectangle with long side nearest you.
  3. Lightly flour dough and roll to 16-inch x 12-inch (40cm x 30cm) rectangle.
  4. Brush dough with 1 tablespoon melted butter, leaving 1/2-inch border along top edge; with butter remaining on brush, brush sides of baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle filling mixture over dough, leaving 3/4-inch border along top edge; smooth filling in even layer with your hand, then gently press mixture into dough to adhere. Add rasins if you desire.
  6. Beginning with long edge nearest you, roll dough into taut cylinder.
  7. Firmly pinch seam to seal and roll cylinder seam-side down.
  8. Very gently stretch to cylinder of even diameter and 18-inch (45 cm) length; push ends in to create even thickness.
  9. Using a serrated knife and gentle sawing motion, slice cylinder in half, then slice each half in half again to create evenly sized quarters.
  10. Slice each quarter evenly into thirds, yielding 12 ~1.5 inch (3,75 cm) buns (end pieces may be slightly smaller).
  11. Arrange buns cut-side down in prepared baking dish.
  12. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set in warm, draft-free spot until puffy and pressed against one another, about 1 hour.
  13. Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to lowest position, place pizza stone (if using) on rack, and heat oven to 350F/175C degrees.
  14. Place baking pan on pizza stone; bake until golden brown and center of dough registers about 180F/82C degrees on instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes.
  15. Cool on wire rack 10 minutes; invert onto rimmed baking sheet, large rectangular platter, or cutting board.
  16. With rubber spatula, scrape any glaze remaining in baking pan onto buns; let cool while making pecan topping.

Pecan Topping

  • 3 tablespoons or 50g unsalted butter 
  • 1/4 cup (.5 dl) light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tablespoons corn syrup, light or dark
  • 1 pinch table salt 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  or vanilla sugar
  • 3/4 cup (1,75 dl) pecans or walnuts, toasted in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant and browned, about 5 minutes, then cooled and coarsely chopped
  1. Combine butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt in small saucepan and bring to simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally to thoroughly combine.
  2. Off heat, stir in vanilla and pecans until pecans are evenly coated.
  3. Using soup spoon, pour heaping tablespoon of nuts and topping over center of each sticky bun.
  4. Continue to cool until sticky buns are warm, 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. Pull apart or use knife to cut apart sticky buns; serve.

Mandriva embraces Lycoris


Mandriva embraces Lycoris 06/17/2005 06:45 PM
Mandriva -- formerly Mandrake -- is one of the world's most popular user-level desktop GNU/Linux choices. Now, only a few months after Mandrake extended itself to absorb Conectiva (hence the new "Mandriva") name, it has embraced the small but feature-rich Lycoris distribution. Lycoris founder and CEO Joe Cheek may end up as a Mandriva employee, although this is not certain yet, but Mandriva certainly hopes a substantial percentage of Lycoris's approximately 20,000 paying customers join MandrivaClub. This acquisition may be good for both parties in the long run. But a lot of its success may depend on whether Joe Cheek ends up working for Mandriva or walking away at the end of his current consulting contract, which runs only through this fall.
