This was fairly obvious to anyone who has observed the evolution of Facebook, the Facebook Like button and sites like StumbleUpon.
Letting people choose the best needles in a haystack based on their likes is just too invaluable for any search engine with a huge haystack. Clearly, G+ and the +1 buttons on the search page (and on other sites) play their part in curating Google's data. As far as abuse goes, people have tried to abuse every variable in the page rank formula, and succeeded at times. But, it's like always playing catch-up: it's time consuming and not a sustainable model in the long run.
Now back to the Facebook Like buttons. Facebook's disadvantage was they didn't have a search engine at hand to exploit the data they were getting. If I were them, I would have tried to sell it to Bing or Yahoo. Maybe Bing/Yahoo weren't interested. But, as far as I can tell, there are more Facebook Like buttons on websites now, than there are +1 buttons (though this is changing rapidly). Perhaps now Bing will be interested in Facebook's Like button data, if Google's ranking system benefits a lot from their own +1 data (and I assume it will).
If you were able to deploy only 1 defense mechanism to a mission critical server, which one would it be and why?
You have a choice of: firewall, antivirus, ids, stack smashing protector, monitors, other: please specify)
I question your reasoning that "he has nothing to do with lulzsec". A 70 year old grandma in Kenya would have nothing to do with lolzsec, but, in this case, Ryan willingly hosted an IRC server for lulzsec, hence he had *something* to do with them and the feds will find out what. And btw, why did they need their own public IRC server? Did we run out of IRC networks? Last I checked, freenode was still alive.
This is plausible, IMO, if their internal network is configured to disallow all incoming connections, but allows outgoing HTTP/HTTPS connections via a proxy (who can live without the Internets in this age?). You can't exploit services remotely, because the ports are being blocked, so the only strategies left is to either bring the virus into the network via USB (i.e. infect the entire country and hope that someone will bring it to the internal network), trick someone to download and install it (which is difficult when you don't know who has access to the network) or attack the actual firewall (fat chance, plus the IDS would raise red flags, assuming it could detect malicious packets). As soon as the virus gets in, it could easily make requests to a server in Texas via the proxy.
Oh no! People are dying in Japan! Radiation is everywhere! Jesus, please help those poor souls who have pre-ordered an iPad2 and are now so upset with Apple.

If you had to capture a guy and smack him, nobody would have said anything. In that case, Gearbox might even be blamed for not making the option of smacking a woman. So much for gender equality...

what's wrong with ":tabe /path/to/file" then pressing "gt" or "gT" to go forward/backward between tabs?
There is no such thing as bad publicity
"piracy free" not. See: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2011/mar/17/android-market-pirated-games-concerns and http://eightyeightgames.com/2011/03/25/iphone-piracy-rate/

Is this real? Is AI that good these days?

How come you remember this dialog?
but have you filed a bug report?
It's about time!

This (minor?) victory puts the notion of Intelligent Disobedience in a new light.

My life for Aiur!
I hope the CEO of Blizzard reads this news and says: "We're going to create our own movie studio!". Hell, it's about time.
This looks like the Russian Mafia.
