Isn't this more like the opposite of that?

Apple is squeezing itself in as yet another middleman in this instance

He should be suing Fox. I'm sure it was Fox News that inspired this fear of Wikileaks within him. Plus, they did all this after they convince him that if he steps outside of his trailer animals are going to attack him from all directions.

While I'm not against Mastercard saying "We won't allow customers to use Mastercard to buy illegal goods", I doubt they'll have a proper list of who to deny.

It would be ironic if suddenly less people allowed Mastercard for online purchases. I gotta imagine that nowadays online transactions are a large proportion of their income.

It strikes me as odd that a woman afraid if being the target of a sex crime would hang her underwear outside in the first place. It seems like her own action is the root cause rather than Google.

Plus, I can't imagine someone stalking the house of someone who they've never seen because underwear was hung outside. Now if the image had her with her underwear, it could be more serious (Unless she's hideous)

While I agree with the articles stance on the Net Neutrality issue being passed, the article fails to mention why the bill is bad. It just repeatedly says how horrible it is without giving any reasons.

When there are so many problems with the bill, the least they could do is mention them.

(Personally, I do agree that it has many problems. I can only base this on articles I've read elsewhere since the one on huffington is all rhetoric and no fact)

Being that he's from Wisconsin, I'd be amazed if he won the election without visiting the rural US.

Although I'm no expert, wikipedia says that about 68% live in the cities. One can't just ignore 32% of the electorate and expect to win (and it was a close race as you may recall)

The one example you give is actually the only question that isn't provable by facts.

Now you can try to argue "believe climate change is not occurring"...but really it's occurring. Argument is whether we're causing it. This is still slightly iffy as the survey taker might read it wrong.

"believe the health reform law will increase the deficit"
I think it was the non-partisan congressional commision that said it would decrease the deficit. Now whether you think it is a good idea is a different matter. It's factual that it's better for the deficit than what was in place before.

"believe Obama initiated the GM/Chrysler bailout"
Now if it was rephrased 'democrats' it may be true. I don't know the exact details on this, but it's slightly questionable at best.

Every other question is a definite yes or no answer easily verifiable.

One would assume that you would hardcode it so if the user loses his password, he can call the company. And trust me, they WILL lose their password.

One would hope that the password is put somewhere that a firmware flash can change it however.

Divulging classified information may be a felony, but it's a felony in this country. It's hard to argue we should arrest a foreign citizen who hasn't set foot in American territory or stolen the documents himself. Now arresting the person who leaked the documents to Assange is a different matter.

By your point of view, if someone leaked information detailing Iran's nuclear program, we should immediately send them back to Iran to be executed. After all, it's clearly against the law

It's hard to hold it against NYT but not Wikileaks. Even if NYT didn't publish any of it, it would be publicly available for anyone to download, regardless of whether it's considered classified. Being that the purpose of being classified is to keep the information out of the hands of malicious people who could use the information to do harm, assuming that these people wouldn't be able to just get it form the widely available source is just silly.

The main difference with the NYT is a larger portion of the American public would read it. One would hope that in general our documents aren't classified so law-abiding Americans can't read them.

This is news? Really?

I did read the article...and yes, it does also mention different negative effects on the immune system of adults vs children, and then effectively says 'We don't know exactly what caused this' and 'although we found more allergies in children, this may actually be the cause of more cleaning rather than a effect'.

So the end of the article itself suggests 'These things we thought may be true may still be true, but this doesn't prove anything'

Now the article suggests that it could either be caused by the hygiene or the chemicals used in the cleaners.

Now if this study was well done and had some control groups, say other forms of cleaners, we might learn something we didn't already know.

This article isn't about carbon emissions. It's actually about sulfur emissions (think acid rain)...misleading

As my earlier comment says, it's 500 times the *Sulfer* pollution of the world's vehicles....not climate change emissions
