The Clinton–Lewinsky scandal was an American political sex scandal that involved 49-year-old President Bill Clinton and 22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The sexual relationship took place between 1995 and 1997 and came to light in 1998...

The microphone issue is a distraction attempting to take attention away from the real issue.
That FaceBook's real value is in the information it collects about the poor saps who use it.

real world figures are an anathema to chip flippers.
If chip flip A came out with a chip with a certain number chip flip B would beg, borrow and/or steal to top it so the obfuscate things.
Besides, it doesn't matter, if we are talking pc then there are only 2 real chip pushers and they work together most of time to manage the market.
That was likely a fake/forgery. Notice on the 4th "Powerpoint Slide", Apple is by itself WAY off to the side, and doesn't just show a date, like the rest of the entries. It looks to me like someone was desperately trying to "convince" the reader that this was "True".
No sorry, it wasn't.
If you look at any of the documentation that was leaked, they used to have a copy on Cryptome you would have seen that Apple was on the list of corporations who took money for access. If it is any consolation M$ sold out before Apple.
The value in Facebook is really the analytical data that Cambridge is claimed to have fondled.

President for life Xi Jinping was clanging on about protectionism recently which was kind of funny coming from him.
The CPC requires corporations wishing to do business in China to partner with a Chinese firm in the same industry and to have a CPC party member on the board of the new partnership. It is a very shrewd tactic as it gives both the Chinese business and the CPC access to IP and influence over the foreign business partner and because of the rise of plutocracy in the US influence within the halls of power there.
With all of the production that has been moved to the PRC and their heavy restrictions on foreign goods it is the influence over the wealthy in the US that give the CPC any leverage over the US and so the high tariffs on US goods and seeming fearlessness in the face of a trade war.
"The Chinese government supports Chinese companies in going global. But we believe that this process should be market-oriented, with companies being the main driver." - Xi Jinping
Nothing to see here, move along.

Thanks for the heads up, I guess were done with the analogies...
Barack Obama was an undocumented immigrant, you mean criminal aliens...
Yup, they made it easier for criminal aliens to get drivers licenses.
The good old US tax payer funded the assistance
The travesty of the license was not for driving a car it was so that they would have ID to make it easier to latch on to social assistance not that many of them seemed to have trouble with this before.
There is no way to prove the person driving is the one who registered the vehicle
Lots of people drive without licenses, they were giving them away to criminal aliens
