I've been burned by booking.com's 'Free Cancellation' UI shenanigans a couple of times. In both instances I swear that I saw the free cancellation banner next to the room I'm reserving. Instantly after reservation, I receive an email saying 'non-refundable', or $400 fee for cancellation. The first time I thought I made a mistake, but when my wife saw the same thing... well, something fishy is going on.

Ok, I'll play your game. First, the judge situation is not the worst thing about Trump, it's actually a very very minor thing in the scheme of things, but I agree with you on the Iranian judge blocking, that is a very wrong and racist decision by whoever decided on it in the Obama admin, but it doesn't mean that, just because Obama did it, it's ok for Trump to do it. Furthermore, the only reason Trump is calling bias here is because he knows that he antagonized people of Mexican origin, which is in itself a massive show of incompetence and short-sightedness.

Re: Muslim ban/profiling. You said that no one mentioned it. Apparently, you and I read different articles by sama then.

I'm sorry, but being a Trump supporter means you accept his positions on race, immigrants, and the economy. Otherwise, why on earth are you supporting him? because he told you he'll "make America great again"? no one can argue with that, but like sama mentioned, this is but a trap to lure you in, but the honey ain't there, it's just hate, misery, and xenophobia all the way inside.

Nice try, but you're defending the indefensible. You're arguing semantics when it's very clear what Trump means by his words, that he repeats in different sentences and occasions. What's the difference between what he actually said regarding the judge in his case and your 'clarification'? it's the same thing.

You also conveniently ignored the fact that Trump wants to ban about 1.2 billion people from entering the US because of their religion, and treat the Muslims already in the US as a fifth column similar to what the Nazis did with the Jews. How long before the frothing-in-the-mouth, 'patriotic', armed Trump goons commit a Kristallnacht against Muslims in the US? this is exactly where we're heading with a Trump presidency.

Frankly, it's disappointing that anyone with a sliver of intelligence can be fooled by this dangerous, reckless, and divisive figure. A figure that has made racism and misogyny acceptable to the masses, and, in the ominous words of the future dictator: "racial profiling is not the worst thing to do".

Nice latent bigotry you've got there. You're implying that the bigoted passenger's suspicions 'might have been justified' and we're only hearing one side of the story. If there was any merit to the other side (which clearly there isn't) then this guy wouldn't have been allowed to leave freely after being publicly humiliated to appease the beast of the security apparatus.

I'm amazed how bigotry against Muslims and Arabs has become so 'accepted' in today's America. My 6 year old kids get called terrorists at school and nobody bats an eye. Imagine if Black or Jewish or Asian kids were called bigoted adjectives at schools, there would be a public outcry, but it's ok, they're just A-rabs, and people, including the potential next president, are playing that dirty game.

It's sickening and it's simply emotional terrorism.

That's some incredible news. Thanks Miguel!

Hmmm, to me and everyone I know, Yahoo! Mail is where you send all the trash and unwanted spam. It's surprisingly common practice, and my perception of Yahoo! hasn't changed a bit.

They just unveiled cross-platform OneNote. They're about to unveil Office for iPad, and Azure works with any OS. Clearly they're moving in a different direction under Satya. The old, xenophobic MS seems to have morphed into a saner, more humble company that wants to play ball with all platforms.

Winning entry: an app to detect if the next checkpoint is manned by the Army, the Free Syrian Army, or foreign jihadists so you don't say the wrong thing and get disappeared.
