Jury awards father $11M in funeral case
quoted: A grieving father won a nearly $11 million verdict Wednesday against a fundamentalist Kansas church that pickets military funerals out of a belief that the war in Iraq is a punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality.
Church members routinely picket funerals of military personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, carrying signs such as "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "God hates fags."

yeah - i knew that 'i'm being watched' feeling was legit. is there a setting to only use Chrome in Incognito mode? :)
Quoted: Provided that users leave Chrome's auto-suggest feature on and have Google as their default search provider, Google will have access to any keystrokes that are typed into the browser's Omnibox, even before a user hits enter.
Quoted: What's more, Google has every intention of retaining some of that data even after it provides the promised suggestions. A Google representative told CNET News that the company plans to store about 2 percent of that data--and plans to store it along with the Internet Protocol address of the computer that typed it.

Ling's mistake - taking the option to "quit" and save face rather than be "fired". Getting fired you have the option to sue the company for wrongful termination and seek damages. If you quit - it's all over. Given the short duration before a major stock award that was due him, it seems to me he would have a case that Facebook a) had no compelling reason to fire him and b) was acting in bad faith with respect to his original employment offer.
