That's not quite what the article says, though.

I'm not saying "Oh, what do those darned scientists know?", it's just interesting.

So now CO2 causes cooling too. Can't win.

Copyright law was originally intended to contribute to the arts by incentivizing creation with a temporary monopoly for the creator. Hands up whoever thinks Ms Sinclair wouldn't have written this song if she knew some company 75 years later weren't able to get a cut of something they had absolutely no part in creating.

As much distaste as I have for Apple culturally, OSX's unix lineage wouldn't allow malware the same freedom it has on a poorly set up XP system. The exception would be PEBKAC issues that Mac users might be more vulnerable to because of their undying belief that their iDol will protect them. I've noticed that a lot in light of the recent events, actually. People in Apple forums making comments to the effect of "The real question is whether these hacked users were using PCs" and "Apple can't guarantee peoples safety unless they're using Macs".

Not the average user, but it's (slightly) more pathetic than farmville http://slashdot.org/faq/com-mod.shtml#cm400

The whitepaper that they referenced is really pretty objective, it makes all the same points that commenters are making here (despite trying to sell you their brilliant new malware detector). A reporter reads it, uses a line or two from it, and makes a scary story. I have to give them credit for linking it the original source, though, sometimes you have to go digging through Google to find out how much they're really telling you.

I don't even completely fault Amazon for this, the system is so broken that a company needs its own patent arsenal to defend itself from trolls. This one is really egregious, though.

It would be the same if Walmart only let you build products out of magical pixie dust that if taken out of Walland turns into a grumpy lawyer fairy in a black turtleneck.
