Last year saw a record number of reporters killed (70) or imprisoned (136) for their work in some of the loveliest hotspots around the world. The closure of bureaus and the rise of the internet may be contributing.

Wasn't there a porno about this? As long as children enjoy watching sexy avatars cry "That's sticky!" as they are repeatedly sprayed with semen, this video game will be a success. Screenshots inside.

When the guy you pay to like you won't stay, it's beyond redemption. People reports that Leno sidekick Kevin Eubanks—whom Letterman dubbed "the guy with the guitar who laughs at everything"—is heading for the door. [People]

And by "screw" I mean "forcibly reassign a subdomain," which is basically disemboweling a blogger's very soul because it changes his web address and renames him. Worse than the subdomain swap, however, is how childishly Tumblr handled it.

Al Pacino steps into Robert De Niro's Italian leather shoes. Amanda Bynes' sex comedy. Judd Apatow forsakes the bromance for Kristen Wiig. Erector Sets' movie adaptation is not a soft-core porn. The Trade Roundup just ate an entire frittata.

Heyyyyy! Guess who just skated a fabulous, flawless and fierce-as-hell short program at the Olympics? And did so in a deep V-neck/slim black pant outfit with sequins and pink tassels, to boot? Johnny Weir did, honey! Also: Poker Face dancing.

Tonight, American Idol focused on whittling the contestants from several dozen to two dozen, or YOUR TOP 24, AMERICA! Janell Wheeler—who'd been struggling with her voice—performed Taylor Swift's Love Story, and it was baaaaad. But, here's the thing...

So, this is it? This is THE New York Times David Paterson 'bombshell'? The whole thing? There's not a second part that's good? Jesus, New York Times, why didn't you say it was going to be so boring. Wed. Update:

Mike Birbiglia talks about some of New Yorkers' favorite topics, including notoriously cramped apartments and unique drinking venues.

NYU kids partied with ChatRoulette; sports fans imagined hacking ChatRoulette; and a 30 Rock guest star is ready to work at Fox News. The Twitterati toyed with worlds beyond their understanding.

Have you been following this insane Dubai assassination of a Hamas leader? Guy was killed in January in his hotel room, now Dubai police claim 11 different assassins with faked passports wearing "wigs and fake beards" were to blame.

It's not yet clear how well the app will perform on Android devices or as an iPad app, as our colleagues at Gizmodo point out — or whether Apple will even allow the Wired app on its tablet device. Then there's the question of pricing. Wired editor Chris Anderson mentions getting people to pay for content in the video, but figuring out how much to charge for a brand-new digital category is, as the New York Times has learned, quite tricky.
