A new Nielsen Online study asserts that 9.5 percent of internet users in May (roughly 16 million total) were between the ages of 2-11 years old. The more things change, the more things...Thu, 2 Jul 2009 20:35:00 PSThttp://www.theporntalk.com/blog/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=141 Microsoft keeps buckling under the weight of a beast known as market share. They want more of it and it appears that they'll stoop pretty low to get it. They've released a series of new videos for an Internet Explorer 8 ad campaign. The browser looks to be an excellent product and the ads...Thu, 11 Jun 2009 05:42:00 PSThttp://www.theporntalk.com/blog/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=140 An article in InformationWeek discusses Microsoft's response to the concerns about its new search engine, Bing.com.

Monochromatic soft core porn (and more) is back and freely...Wed, 15 Apr 2009 06:18:00 PSThttp://www.theporntalk.com/blog/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=137This is a controversial subject. "Sexting" is the term used to describe when teenagers exchange explicit photos of themselves. Call it what you will, but naked kid pics sounds like the definition of child porn to me.
