...policy change was a huge step in the right direction, and we hope it sets an important precedent in favor of Internet users’ rights that the entire industry follows.” Green said that MoveOn.org has not decided whether it will demand a complete opt-out, whereby Facebook users will be able to disable the ad tracking feature once and for all. Facebook faced a similar large-scale outcry from its users when it introduced the “News Feed” last year, but it has since received positive feedback about this feature. The information...

The recent decision by March 14 to opt for Suleiman - who is seen as having close ties to the militant Shi'ite Hizballah, which spearheads the pro-Syrian opposition to the Western-backed government in Beirut - apparently caught the opposition by surprise, not having expected the general's candidacy to be promoted by its political foes...

Several press reports have also suggested that Commissioner Bud Selig - angry about both the scope of A-Rod's free agent demands and the timing of the opt-out from his New York Yankee contract (during the waning moments of this year's World Series, thus overshadowing the sport's signature event) - could be working the back rooms to keep A-Rod from scoring another pay raise. Manfred calls such allegations of tampering "totally unfounded...
