Nearly a year after hosting iconic sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live, Donald Trump has turned the tables: he wants the show canceled.
After a third-week of lampooning at the hands of SNL — with Alec Baldwin earning raves as the businessman — Trump angrily took to Twitter, writing, “Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me. Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!”

In the latest episode of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Stephen Colbert revealed he was planning on ending his beloved Comedy Central show, The Colbert Report, before he was named David Letterman's successor on The Late Show. You can watch the clip here.
After Seinfeld praised the Colbert character and remarked how even after nine years, Colbert himself never seemed tired of it, the host said, "I was ready to stop, I was going to stop whether or not. The Letterman thing fell in my lap.

Believe it or not, Donald Trump is stirring up the dust on Twitter again. During a "Daily Show" segment on an American politician who was born in Canada, Jon Stewart mentioned Trump, who made headlines for claiming President Barack Obama was from another country. Then, Stewart let the audience know that Trump's "birth name" is "F***face Von Clownstick." Stewart said he hopes the name made its way to Twitter.
Of course, it definitely made its way to the social networking website, catching the eye of Trump himself. The "Celebrity Apprentice" star then sent out a string of tweets. First, he says, "Amazing how the haters & losers keep tweeting the name 'F***face Von Clownstick' like they are so original & like no one else is doing it." That was followed with, "What's funny about the name 'F***face Von Clownstick' -- it was not coined by Jon Leibowitz -- he...

The deals close the FTC’s nearly 20-month investigations and fall into two categories. In the first case, Google says it will no longer try to block other providers of wireless devices including smartphones from using patents that the search giant acquired last year when it paid $12.5B for Motorola Mobility. “These essential patents and others like them are the cornerstone of the system of interoperability standards that ensure that wireless internet devices and mobile phones can talk to one another,” FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz says. “Over half of American consumers own and use one of these devices — including iPhones, Android phones and Xboxes.” Google agreed to drop injunctions, and license its patents to any company on what the FTC calls “fair and reasonable terms.” In a separate case, Google agreed to stop taking and misidentifying content from rival content companies. For example Leibowitz says that Google took user-generated restaurant...

Update: Andrew Necci of the Richmond-based Rva Magazine has done quite a bit of research, and has come to the conclusion that the guy identified as Stewart in the photo is probably Alford Faulkner of the band Red Cross. Thanks for the heads up, Jason.
Original: Here's a good one for Jon Stewart fans. Long before stepping behind the pulpit of his "Daily Show" desk, Stewart (formerly Jon Leibowitz) loved going to punk shows when he was attending the College of William and Mary. And now, we have proof.
In the early 1980s, photographer Irish Willis Peele snapped a photo of Jon enjoying himself at a Richmond punk show featuring the bands Front Line and Dead Kennedys. He posted it on his blog and it's been making the rounds. Celebrities -- they're just like us! When we moshed at punk shows in the early '80s!
Nobody should be surprised...

Last year, Google launched Buzz, a social network "built right into Gmail, so you don't have to peck out an entirely new set of friends from scratch," boasted the search giant. "Buzz brings this network to the surface by automatically setting you up to follow the people you email and chat with the most…[and] building an easy-to-use sharing experience that richly integrates photos, videos and links, and makes it easy to share publicly or privately."
Much to Google's dismay, Buzz turned out to be a huge bust, and not only because it was incredibly unpopular among users. The social network was riddled with privacy concerns, so much so that the Federal Trade Commission charged the company with using "deceptive tactics" and violating "its own privacy promises to consumers."
Today, Google settled with the FTC. As part of the proposed settlement, Google is barred from "future privacy misrepresentations," and is required...

Following increased pressure from the FTC, Google and Mozilla are introducing opt-out features to their Chrome and Firefox browsers. Soon, users will have the option to stop personalized advertisements, ads tailored to your Web-surfing habits that have sparked significant privacy concerns.
Will these new features allay privacy fears and FTC meddling?
Last month, the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection proposed a "Do Not Track" tool to curb concerns over personalized or behavioral advertising. The FTC hoped the tool might be similar to the "Do Not Call" registry--the system that deterred telemarketers from causing so many headaches--but offered very few technical details. Such a comprehensive opt-out registry, as some have pointed out, would be difficult to implement. Unlike "Do Not Call," which relies on unique telephone numbers, "Do Not Track" could not depend on similar identifiers, as IP addresses are constantly changing.

The chairman of the Federal Trade Commission Tuesday dismissed as “a non-starter” any chance that his agency would recommend a tax to support or “save” journalism.
Opening the last of three FTC roundtables on the future of journalism, Jon Leibowitz said, “There is a threshold question before we reach any proposal: Is there a government role here?” Leibowitz told the forum at the National Press Club. “It’s a question the commission has not yet answered.” Leibowitz said that the commission has come under fire from both the right and th...

By now, you probably already know your behavior on social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook can get you fired, evicted, and even arrested--but what about your friends’ behavior?
They say you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep. Joel Jewitt is inclined to agree.
Upon reviewing your social networking friend list, Jewitt and his colleagues at the San Francisco-based data-mining firm Rapleaf say they can help predict which ads you'll pay attention to and whether or not you're a worthwhile risk for a credit card or a loan--all without hacking into any accounts or breaking any laws.
"Who you hang around with has empirical implications with how you behave," says Jewitt, Rapleaf's vice president of business development. "This is a new type of information. It's still an evolving science, but the results have been positive."
Rapleaf is one of a multitude of innovative start-ups...

The Interactive Advertising Bureau (Iab) is calling out the Federal Trade Commission on a new bill that would expand its power to making it easier for them to bring civil lawsuits and create new rules. The Consumer Financial Protection Agency Act passed in the House Energy and Commerce Committee last Thursday, and is expected to pass in the House as well.
The FTC is beginning to more aggressively police the online space, having recently announced a new set of guidelines requiring bloggers to disclose the freebies and gifts that they write about.
Mike Zaneis, the vice president of public policy for the Iab, says certain provisions of the latest bill make it a "fast track vehicle for expansion of the FTC" and calls it "Washington D.C. at its finest." He also says that while they expected the committee to pass the bill, the urgency for lobbying against the provisions is increasing.

Two months after Google CEO Eric Schmidt resigned from the Apple board to appease FTC regulators, Genentech chairman Arthur Levinson - who serves on both the Apple and the Google boards - followed suit yesterday and resigned from both boards. FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz praised the companies and Mr Levinson for the decision, as did various advocacy groups. The move highlights just how serious regulators have become in their efforts to prevent collusion and anticompetitive practices among technology giants.
