There are so many facts wrongs on this that it looks like you are making things up to supprot a point (a point which I agree with).
Beria was not arrested on molestation charges. He was arrested on charges of treason, counter-revolutionary activities and terrorism (for his role in the purges).
"Beria died in prison 'attempting to escape',". No. He was sentenced to death and was executed by a firing squad.
" the date unknown.". Again, no. The execution was on 12/23/1953.
BTW, In his trial, he was accused to allegations of rape and sex crimes. But that seems to be mainly because it was true and pretty well documented (unlike the treason charges)

As the FTA makes clear, the passenger in this case went through all the additional checks and did everything asked of him, (including changing the shirt) http://arijitvsdelta.blogspot.co.uk/
The pilot threw him off AFTER all this. Heck the passenger was a scrawny, compliant, grad student with stage 4 cancer who was traveling back with his wife from a family funeral. The pilot clearly abused his position and suspended for this.
And yes, the passenger goes out of his way to say that the TSA is not to blame:

.. it is trying to create a new niche. One that has more in common with the ultra book market than iPads. Something that plays nice with business / enterprise setup. Surface could become a hit without making a dent in iPad sales.

Kenneth Waltz seems to have cherry picked information to support his hypothesis. The full article mentions that he basis his hypothesis on India-Pakistan relationship, but it is clear that he has ignored several things in it.
First of all, unlike what he mentions in TFA, India and Pakistan relationship has had a full fledged war (and not just terrorist actions launched by Pakistan) , after Pakistan conducted A-Bomb tests. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kargil_War
India has come very close to waging war on other occasions as well, especially after the terrorist attacks on the Indian Parliament.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Parakram
Waltz is right that the possibility of nuclear war raises the stakes, but what he does not acknowledge (and what the Pakistani example shows) is that the a nuclear state might indulge in risky behavior against another nuclear states, precisely because it counts on the other state to act more conservatively. And sooner or later, there is a miscalculation of the risk by the aggressive nuclear state.
This makes the entire premise that Nukes Are "The Only Peacekeeping Weapons the World Has Even Known," a wrong one.

"Most creationists on this planet are Hindu or Muslim" I can't think of any Hindu who thinks that evolution is a lie, and I've known quite a few orthodox Hindus, and Hindu priests. Hindu theology is quite complicated and it is easy to interpret it it to conclude that it says that religion should be secondary to science.

There NEVER was a video. Just a webcam that was on for a couple of minutes.

They looked like the LG Prada, which sold a million phones incidentally, the iPhone, which was announced after the photos of the LG Prada had been circulating, looks like the LG Prada as well.

They looked like the Knight-Ridder Tablet, which was developed by one of the largest media companies of the time. Incidentally, the iPad, made 17 years later, looks like the LG Prada as well.

No. There were thin ultralight notebooks, long before apple. For example, the Sharp Actius which, as CNET noted, showed that the Macbook's claim of being the thinnest notebook was nonsense
This is nothing new. All my examples (and several more) have featured before in other places including /. comments. The point is, whatever you want to call it, Apple hasn't lead the industry and they probably steal the best ideas of trailblazers to build better targeted, better marketed, products, backed by an awesome supply chain, and a pretty decent industrial design team. But they have always been evolutionary (at least recently) rather than revolutionary.

Where did you get the "17 months of the company screwing with him"?
From TFA: He sent his first report in oct 2010. He filed a lawsuit in Feb 2011 against the company. Given how little happens in the holiday season, he well could have been planning the lawsuit in advance of filing the memo.

The cost is actually $350 after rebate. No contract. Not free
Still this is an amazing price for a top of the line smart phone.Similar phones typically sell for upwards of $550 at launch.

Mod parent up. Ultimately it falls to what value a family places on education. In India, where I grew up I have seen poor families make incredible sacrifices to provide a decent education for their children. Relatively speaking $10/ month for a poor American family is nothing (~ 1 1/4 hrs of work at minimum wage).

"There shouldn't be more units of money in existence now than there was 100 years ago. " There are lots of reasons why money supply should increase. For instance here is one of Krugman's examples from an article a while back (long before he was associated so strongly with the left) Babysitting The Economy
