"The head of the Senate Intelligence Committee said Tuesday that the CIA searched the panel's computers and that the search may have violated the Constitution."

Finally the government knows what it is like when people can get information from you or watch your every move 24/7 without much effort all their personal information can gathered in seconds.

"U.S. customs officials must have a reasonable justification before snatching your laptop at the border and scanning through all your files for incriminating data, a federal appeals court ruled today."

WASHINGTON - Donald Trump's very public search for a secretary of State will go on a bit longer. While announcing Wednesday that the president-elect has narrowed his search to four candidates, Trump aides also said they do not expect any more announcements on any Cabinet slots the rest of this week.

"Search giant could be prosecuted for not showing positive enough stories, president suggests"

"First disclosed as part of the Snowden revelations, Upstream surveillance involves the NSA's bulk interception and searching of Americans' international Internet communications - including emails, chats, and web-browsing traffic"

Supposedly the government is looking into private emails, and listening to phone calls to increase the security of the nation by monitoring things for terrorism. However this is the only insight given by the NSA. If it was just about terrorism that could be justifiable, but if the government is just looking through things to look for anything illegal, then the government is breaking the 4th amendment in which they do not have warrant, consent, or probable cause to look through your emails,

I don't think the government should look into our private communications unless they have a lead on someone as a terrorist because there is a lot of innocent people who the government are looking at their private communications.

Interesting that they assume nicotene does this. 20% lower scores is pretty concrete results though.

I don't find this surprising. Nicotine is a known mutagen, so I think it's actually foolish to assume that it won't affect fetuses which are exposed to it. It will be interesting to see if this study actually gets any media attention, though. Unfortunately, I doubt it will. People, especially Americans, are usually content to overlook any negative consequences to their actions.

A quick google search for the effects of nicotine on fetuses came up with a number of medical journals on the subject. Research into this subject has been done at last as far back as 1996, and smoking cigarettes during pregnancy is documented to have a large number of possible adverse outcomes even worse than poor reading skills, including spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, and sudden infant death syndrome. Here's a link to an article from the Oxford Journal on the subject. http://toxsci.oxfordjournals.org/content/116/2/364.full

"Bill Kristol and other Never-Trump Republicans have done extensive polling and talked to potential candidates and financial backers about how to stop Donald Trump, according to sources familiar with those efforts. They understand that getting on the ballot at this late stage will be a challenge but insist they can overcome that with the right candidate and resources."

President Barack Obama is suddenly searching for a new Supreme Court justice after the death of conservative icon Antonin Scalia left a rare vacancy at the pinnacle of U.S. jurisprudence.

that's a total invasion of privacy, whether your hiding something or not. The police shouldn't be able to search your contents unless they have reason too, not just for a minor traffic violation..

Captain Crunk.... stop being ignorant

Stop being red.

November 28, 2011 -- Updated 0041 GMT (0841 HKT) Syracuse, New York (CNN) -- Federal authorities recently joined local law enforcement searching the home of a Syracuse basketball coach accused of molesting young boys, a federal official said Sunday.

This I think will revolutionize the textbook industry. Textbooks for high schools run close to $100, Apple able to sell digital copies for $15 is simple amazing. Schools might now adapt iPads and save money in the long run on text books. Also iBook Authors could change the book industry the way that iTunes changed the music industry. We will have to give all of these new services a year and then we will see if Apple can dominate another major industry.

Yes Brice! I think this will change a lot in the education world.

Irish police on Monday were searching for heart-stealer, with a twisted love of history. Officials at Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin said they're distraught and perplexed over the theft of the church's most precious relic: the preserved heart of St. Laurence O'Toole, patron saint of Dublin.

I hear space pirates are rampant this year.

I would steal that if I had the opportunity.

What I don't get is if it has actually landed, why has it not been able to contact anyone yet?

If it didn't land, it crashed, if it crashed it should have been detected. So, my guess is that it flew outside of the area they are searching, to an island or something.

I just don't understand how the government can track anybody's phone, but someone can loose a plane??
