Blog Buzz: John McCain and Hamas, Not a Civil Union

The left side of the blogosphere loves the video of John McCain's chat with Jamie Rubin in which he said that "sooner or later we are going to have to deal with" Hamas. The right side of the blogosphere argues that Rubin mischaracterized both McCain's criticism of Obama and his comments about talking to Hamas. NRO's Jim Geraghty found other video of apparently the same time period where McCain says Hamas has to give up on destroying Israel before any talks can take place. RedState's Soren Dayton says that there's a real difference between dealing with Hamas and talking to Iran. Marc Ambinder says that whether to talk to Iran is in fact the salient issue. And Andrew Sullivan says he agrees with McCain that talking to Hamas is fine and that Obama is off-base on the issue.

McAfee says .HK domain is most dangerous of all

McAfee says .HK domain is most dangerous of all It isn't fair to judge a book by its cover, but is it fair to judge a domain name by its TLD? Apparently it is, and a new report published by McAfee confirms that certain TLDs are more dangerous to visit, on average, than others. In particular, they flagged 3 TLDs as exceptionally dangerous, with two to three times the percentage of dangerous sites as others. McAfee lists the .hk, .cn and .info TLDs as the most dangerous, with .hk being the most dangerous of all. Of all the sites queried in .hk, more than 19% were flagged as dangerous or “potentially dangerous” (whatever that means), compared to 11.8% of .cn domains and 11.7% of .info domains. This is all compared to .com, which ranked at only 5% - but, as it is the most popular TLD, the numbers may be diluted.
