There, I think that edit would make the lobbying more effective.

No, the "value" was the fact that they got it free or for less than $100 not anything else.
Considering that you can now get an iPhone 4 for free and the 4S for $99, then by your specious argument would have that those phones would vastly outsell those "cheap" Android phones because they're better, right? The fact that they don't must mean SOMETHING...
I gotta say, this made my inner child smile with delight. None of it makes any sense or is very practical, but dang, that's just cool.
DO WANT!
...lambasting them for outing kids...
How do you "out" somebody who's posting to what is essentially a public forum. Granted, I don't use twitter, but aren't (god help me for saying this) "tweets" public?
On an interesting note, I just pulled up the tumbler page and now it's 404, after just having looked at it 5 minutes ago.
Because no one wants to be "that guy" that killed the TSA in case another terrorist takes down an airplane. Simple CYA thinking. Until we, as a nation, make it clear that the TSA is unacceptable, things will just carry on. And from my last visit to the airport, the people seem to be accepting it just fine.
It's a good point, but gouging your customers is probably also not a good business move.
This made me smile for so many reasons.
I actually misread the headline as "... for photo of burning puppy..." and I was duly outraged and saddened.
And then I read TFA and was made even sadder...
Interesting.
However, the NYTimes exit polling gives a more nuanced version of this. For those with college degrees, a majority voted for Romney. For those with Post Grad degrees, Obama was the overwhelming choice.

To paraphrase a Fox News anchor:
Are these the facts that you cite as a Republican to make yourself feel better or is this real?
The issue that is under review is whether or not Hogan failed to fully disclose all the lawsuits he's been involved in. From TFA:
During voir dire, Hogan did disclose that he had been involved in litigation with a former partner when the judge asked him if he had ever been involved in litigation. Hogan has noted, in response to Samsung's allegations, that the judge didn't ask for a complete listing of all the lawsuits he had been involved with.
Emphasis mine.
I dug around for the transcript of the jury questioning and found it at Groklaw (PDF alert)
THE NEXT QUESTION IS, HAVE YOU OR A FAMILY MEMBER OR SOMEONE VERY CLOSE TO YOU EVER BEEN INVOLVED IN A LAWSUIT, EITHER AS A PLAINTIFF, A DEFENDANT, OR AS A WITNESS?
Mr. Hogan went on the detail that he was involved in a lawsuit involving a former employee and ownership of code. He stopped there. So it seems to me that it's disingenuous at best to claim that the judge didn't request a full list.
Whether or not this is enough to overturn (or throw out) the verdict is unclear to me as IANAL.
Really? I guess your searching skills might need a little help.
After doing this search, I even purchased a set to see what all the hoopla was about.
Depends on the situation. I find that in many cases, people from Asia tend to not look you too hard or long in the eyes, as it's sometimes considered disrespectful.
I guess it's all in what you're hoping to achieve.
Personally, I find myself looking a the person's mouth when they're talking. I have to force myself to look someone in the eyes when I catch myself doing that. Don't know if means I'm submissive or what...
Factorials were someone's attempt to make math LOOK exciting.
