My New Kindle Went Astray...Pre-Loaded With My Credit Card Info
No, it's not. The thief had no access to the credit card information, which is what PCI dictates. They were simply able to place orders using stored payment information, which PCI does not dictate.

Upgrade Your Laptop's Hard Drive In 3 Easy Steps
Not entirely true depending on your usage pattern. Because SSDs only have two states - "on" and "off" when reading and writing, they use far more energy when active than a regular spinning disk. That said, if you use your disk very lightly you will see an increase. Heavy swapping, however, will sock your battery.

This Year Was A Statistically Fantastic One In Terms Of Staying Alive On Airplanes
Odd, hopefully this isn't a dupe but my original reply didn't show up.
You basically parroted what I said - 447 was not brought down by weather, but weather was a factor. 99% of it was crew stupidity, 1% was the Pitot tubes froze up in part because they flew through a weather system that had the crew not been stupid, they wouldn't have flown through. So, 1% weather, 99% pilot. Without the weather the pilots probably wouldn't have screwed up, but with it it's what started the chain of events.

Right, which is exactly what I said. 99% pilot error, 1% weather. Had they not flown through a system they shouldn't have, the pitot tubes wouldn't have frozen up. I'll give that little detail 1% of the fault.

...except the odds of turbulence bringing down a flight are next to zero. The closest thing we've had to that in modern history was the Air France 447 disaster, and even then, it was 99% caused by pilot error and 1% by weather (that the pilots shouldn't have flown through - their error caused them to do just that)
