The rules make sense, since if a corporation could be the sole donator to a tax-exempt organisation then every corp would just set up a foundation that received all of its profit, pay no tax, and have the foundation own all of its assets.

You mean kind of like the relationship the Cleveland Clinic has to the Cleveland Clinic Foundation? This happens all the time, it's just that now it involves companies that are all caught up in the intarwebs, as opposed to the medical-industrial (I refuse to call it "healthcare") complex.

Dark Reading reviews five hacks that went after everyday things we take for granted even more than our PC's — our car navigation system, a trucker's freight, WiFi connections, iPhone, and (gulp) the electronic financial trading systems that record our stock purchases and other online transactions."

NASA Releases Cryptic Airline Safety Data 148

An anonymous reader writes "NASA released part of a controversial study about air traffic safety Monday. The space agency spent $11 million on a survey of airline pilots. Agency officials were so disturbed by the findings that they intended to destroy the information rather than release it. But at an October congressional hearing, NASA administrator Michael Griffin changed tack and said the agency would release its findings. The research shows that safety problems occur far more often than previously recognized. NASA has been criticized however for not providing 'documentation on how to use its data, nor did it provide keys to unlock the cryptic codes used in the dataset.'"
