If I go to a car dealer and buy a car, and the dealer subsequently delivers a different car to me, the dealer failed in his side of the transaction.
imo, it depends upon what the transaction papers say. Do they say the clinic should deliver the sperm for a "generic child" or sperm with a specific DNA. If the clinic did not abide by the agreement, then everything else is a moot point.
...huge exposure like this makes increases brand awareness...
Whether an increased brand awareness is good or bad is really determined by the quality of that brand awareness. iow, how is this increased awareness of the Burger King brand helping them? Is the mocking helping? How does the mocking bring more people into their stores.
Is there another message that Burger King could attempt to deliver that would do far better for the Burger King franchise owners?
That I will be subject to the poor performance of Edge for that much longer... So, is more battery life really a good thing in this instance? (of course, that's presuming that Microsoft didn't cook the numbers. Nah, they'd never do something like that...)
Should McAfee (the company) change its name? I know that I, for one, have to fight the urge to summarily dismiss an article when I see it starting with a quote from McAfee. For me, that name has a connotation that is not a good one...
... General Motors has connected about a quarter of its 30,000 factory robots to the internet...
I mean, really, what can possibly go wrong in this scenario? Did GM at least have some common sense remaining to assure each robot has an off switch?

The research seems to take the approach of posing a hypothesis about how the music industry is losing money due to youtube, and then asking RIAA and a record company executive about the hypothesis. Lo and behold, they agree with the hypothesis.
imo, this looks like a for-purchase hit piece against youtube, probably because the RIAA is trying to justify its existence.

From what I read, OpenSSL are saying that if you have contributed, and you don't respond to their request to change the license on the code you contributed, OpenSSL will take your code and change the license on your code without your explicit permission.

I really hope I am reading it incorrectly, because I would expect better behavior from a security-oriented project. Far better behavior.
Why don't they just pay their web developers to develop an app in a more secure environment than Flash? Geesh, take about short-sighted corporate policies.
.... thinks it is a great movie. Why is this a surprise? Why is the producer surprised that he, himself, thinks he produced a great movie. On the other hand, it may well be a great movie. But that does not mean it has to be a popular movie, or that people will want to spend money to see it.
"We don't want anything to come in-between the user and their access to the information they're actually looking for. If a brand can add value in that space, fantastic."
That sounds an awful lot like advertising to me. Let me phrase it differently, the absolute last thing I want out of google home is for some hipster working deep inside google to be able to say, "hey, this is cool, let's spam google home users with it." As of now, Google Home is a non-starter in my household.
I'd say that most everyone, not just teens. This is a real and very significant problem. But some estimates, our country is under attack. So what are we going to do about it? Point the finger of blame? Or defend ourselves? Your choice.

I disagree. I sold something. The recipient said there was nothing in the box when he received it. Payment is taken back and I no longer have the item.

I'm not of that opinion. When a company is universally mocked on social media, I have trouble understanding how that is good for that company.

How is that handled?
It's not really the vendor's fault that they require paypal
I didn't say it was. Indeed, the rest of your message confirms what I see about EBay's apparent emphasis of PayPal.
