The publication is allegedly the work of 24-year-old Pakistani-American Samir Khan, who even penned an editorial in the new ...

Brian Cuban Would Like to Remind You That His Brother Is 'Not Martha Stewart'
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsAs a fan of various social media sites and blogging in general, I happen to occasionally find myself on Brian Cuban's blog "The Cuban Revolution". And, considering the events of today's Securities and Exchange Commission news, it seemed pretty appropriate to check out what he was discussing.Unsurprisingly, he issued a relatively brief statement about the SEC's charges on Mavericks owner (and his brother, natch) Mark Cuban.
