Your article, dated October 17, 2017, is titled: "2018: THE YEAR OF THE CRYPTOCURRENCY CRAZE"

A WIRED article from December 16, 2017, is titled: "2018: THE YEAR OF THE CRYPTOCURRENCY CRAZE"

Your opening:
Every successful new technology undergoes a Cambrian Era-style explosion of growth in which we try to use it for everything. Email, search, social networking—each passed through its “this will solve all our problems!” phase before we figured out what its best applications and limitations were. With the Bitcoin bubble testing astronomical prices every day, cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology that drives them are now taking their turn in this one-tech-fits-all role.

Your article from December 20, 2017, is title: "Why Facts Don’t Change Our Minds"

A New Yorker article from February 27, 2017, is titled: "Why Facts Don’t Change Our Minds"

Your opening:
In 1975, researchers at Stanford invited a group of undergraduates to take part in a study about suicide. They were presented with pairs of suicide notes. In each pair, one note had been composed by a random individual, the other by a person who had subsequently taken his own life. The students were then asked to distinguish between the genuine notes and the fake ones.

Your article from December 26, 2017, is titled: "Original ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Stars on Regrets, Triumphs and a $2 Million Snack Budget"

A Hollywood Reporter article from May 28, 2017, is titled: "Original 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Stars on Regrets, Triumphs and a $2 Million Snack Budget"

Your opening:
When Disney’s original Pirates of the Caribbean was released in 2003, the tale following a rowdy group of pirates across the seas was almost as much of an adventure behind the scenes as it was onscreen.
Under the direction of Gore Verbinski (Pirates 1-3) and Rob Marshall (Pirates 4), the quartet of films (grossing $3.73 billion worldwide) follows Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow through a swashbuckling adventure that continues with the release of the fifth installment, Dead Men Tell No Tales, which hit theaters on Friday.

WWE domains

I was listening to Wrestlenomics Radio the other night, and the hosts were discussing XFL and the latest news about WWE's trademarks.  It made me think about WWE's web domains.  I don't know if Mookieghana or anyone else has explored this particular topic yet...

The XFL.com domain is registered to Lauren Dienes-Middlen, at the e-mail address Lauren.Middlen@wwecorp.com.  (The site is down right now.)  I went to Whoisology and noticed 920 domains were registered to Lauren.Middlen@wwecorp.com as of June, 2017.  Whoisology tends to lag behind other WhoIs websites in terms of updates, but its archive produces more results than similar databases.

Below are the 920 domains (after the jump break):

Come on, TrendSetNews.com, who are you trying to fool?

Your article from December 19, 2017, is titled: "Here’s Courtney Love, trying to warn people about Harvey Weinstein back in 2005."

An AV Club article from October 14, 2017 is titled: "Here’s Courtney Love, trying to warn people about Harvey Weinstein back in 2005."

Your opening:
Part of the gut-churning strangeness surrounding Hollywood’s ongoing Harvey Weinstein scandal is how quickly it’s become clear that Weinstein’s alleged abuses really were an “open” secret; it’s now apparent that a lot of people knew what “Harvey” was like around women, and almost none of them said anything (outside of a handful of inside-baseball jokes) across years of painful encounters, awkward meetings, and outright (alleged) assault. Which is what makes the following clip of Courtney Love at the 2005 Comedy Central Roast Of Pamela Anderson so striking: Not only does she try, in plain English, to warn women away from Weinstein’s grasp, but she’s also very clearly nervous—an emotion we don’t typically associate with Love’s public persona—to be doing so.

Your article from December 11 is titled: "Netflix Isn't Killing Movies, Hollywood Studios and Theaters Are."

An Inverse article from May 19, 2017, is titled: "Netflix Isn't Killing Movies, Hollywood Studios and Theaters Are."

Your opening:
There is nothing like seeing a good movie in a movie theater. The big screen, dark room, and experiencing something profound with a group of strangers — it’s the ideal cinematic experience, a tradition handed down from generation to generation. If only there were more good movies in theaters.
