Motherboard is a celebration of the diversity and eclecticism of the culture that surrounds technology. Rather than squinting at technology through the lens of gizmos and gadgetry, Motherboard explores the ways it influences and affects music, art, design, film, gaming, sports, issues surrounding the environment, and everything else we find important.

So consider the floor open for group participation. It's simple: Get involved in an existing discussion, post your own related videos, write posts, comment, anything… you're now part of the Motherboard.

You may have heard that we’re in the midst of a war. A war between superpowers hellbent on global domination. A war in which you, my friend, must play your part, take sides, and once there, share as many links as you can. And don’t even think of asking if you can just sync them.

The tensions between social networks inspired Google+ user, Aaron Wood to make some propaganda posters. You can buy your pride over on Etsy, and honestly, they’re a steal at $7.50 a pop. Just be careful how you share your purchase over the web. Remember: Loose Likes Sink Klout Scores.
