Correlation is not causation. I think you need to perform a few studies to prove that you caused people to cringe.
US Congressmen: Facebook Evading Privacy Questions 109
An anonymous reader writes "Two U.S. congressmen have accused Facebook of evading questions about whether it tracks users in order to deliver targeted ads. Joe Barton, a Texas Republican, and Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, said the social networking giant failed to adequately answer questions raised by a patent application that suggests Facebook could be tracking users on other websites. The duo previously asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate accusations that Facebook tracks its users even after they log out of the social network, an issue the company says it has since fixed."

If I could have only one Dell device, what would it be? None, I'd return it and give the money back to the shareholders.

This should come as no surprise to anyone. Jobs says the problem with tablets is no one wants to handwritten input. He later builds a tablet that does not use handwritten inputs; it sells well and people are not asking to write on it.

I got a $100 dock for my ipad. It's an okayish $800 alarm clock now. But since the app can't run with the screen off and such, I have to leave the screen and dock on the whole night. If either go to sleep, the alarm doesn't go off. So I have my regular alarm clock as my "it's REALLY time to get up" set about half an hour after my ipad is due to start my wakeup playlist.
Totally worth the money..
I know exactly what you're saying. I bought a BMW 750li a couple weeks ago. It's sitting in the garage right now. I don't drive it at all but I do hang my clothes to dry on the grab rails. The rails are not that large so I can't hang too many clothes. I just don't understand why doesn't BMW make the rails larger so I hang more clothes and make better use of the car.

We're approaching the point where most people who want them, already have them.
Most people who want one at the current price, already have one. As with other devices, competition, economies of scale, and market saturation will lower the cost. It won't be long before we see an iPad mini with fewer features for a lower price (or an iPad maxi with more features and the current iPad sold at a lower price). As with the iPod and iPhone, this will expand the market. I don't know if Apple can still sell at the current rate but the potential is there.

Why use the word "takeover" when purchase more accurately describes what happened?

I tried reading the article, the screwed up page with all it's toolbars, ads and such kept refreshing after a few seconds and jumping to the top of the page. I was interested enough to go to the printer-friendly link an be able to finish the article.
Perhaps the author should include a navigation aid to help you find your content but I hear that they can be unreliable.

One problem is that many sites have multiple security questions and require different answers to each one. You're better off answering the questions truthfully and adding a common salt to the end (or beginning) of each answer.
