    what the hell is Huffington Post

    Yea, when I read it I went WTF?, but thinking perhaps I underestimated the reach of HuffPo went to Alexa. Sure enough, HuffPo (and Gawker & Twitter) has an order of magnitude less reach than the other sites. If DrudgeReport.com (same traffic level, different audience) had been listed rather than HuffPo it would be seen/flagged for what it is -
    Spam

    Microsoft tailors Windows 7 for netbooks

    According to Ballmer, M$ is supposedly focused on netbooks: "Microsoft, which a month ago blamed netbooks for weaker-than-expected quarterly profits, said it is planning to ship a low-end version of Windows 7 for netbooks, and make it easy for users to upgrade to more expensive editions." http://www.reuters.com/article/managementIssues/idUSN2439838920090224

    How would one objectively know? With data uncertainity, go with what's actually reported/observed, not conjectured.

    Let's get the context straight:

    U.S. Self-identifying:

    • GLB: Not 10%, more like 2%. Twice as many gays as lesbians. Self-promoting, media myth.[2]
    • Jews: ~2%
    • Mormons: ~2%
    • Episcopalian/Anglican: ~2% [1]

    [1] http://www.adherents.com/rel_USA.html#religions

    [2] "The most widely accepted study of sexual practices in the United States is the National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS). The NHSLS found that 2.8 percent of the male, and 1.4 percent of the female, population identify themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. See Laumann, et al., The Social Organization of Sex: Sexual Practices in the United States (1994). This amounts to nearly 4 million openly gay men and 2 million women who identify as lesbian.[8]" http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/478685.html

    Homosexual Groups Back Off From "10 Percent" Myth A coalition of leading pro-homosexual activist groups has now admitted in a legal brief that only "2.8 percent of the male, and 1.4 percent of the female, population identify themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual."[1] http://www.rr-bb.com/showthread.php?t=69577

    *Second, sexual behavior researcher, Tom Smith of the University of Chicago authored a study two years ago entitled "Adult Sexual Behavior in 1989: Number of Partners Frequency and Risk." His study resulted in a figure of "less than 1% exclusively homosexual."
