The media wants to crucify her for things said in the past during a different era. Punishes her and her company because corporations don't want to be hounded by the media for maintaining their relationships with her.
But Tarantino does it this year, and all he gets is a brief uproar. Makes huge profit over it.

Today's America is so ****ed up it disgusts me.

Absolutely!
All this issue does is keep racism and hate alive in this country. Racists point out and look for racism. I don't think I know many people (black or white) that haven't said that word. Just a bunch of ******** looking for a reason to hate.

Car Computer Hacking Dirty Tricks Worry Highway Safety Experts

Thursday, 27 Jun 2013 10:49 AM

By Alexandra Ward

Today's vehicles can self-park, brake, and turn, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration worries that the advanced technology leaves cars and their internal computers susceptible to hacking.

Researchers have proved that it is sometimes easier to hack into a car's computer system than a mobile phone's. Case in point: Teams from the University of California San Diego and Washington University were both able to successfully disable a car's engine remotely in 2010, according to the BBC.

Now, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Electronics Systems Safety Research Division is investigating how to better protect a car's computer from hackers.

Special: Should Gay Marriage Be Legal? Vote in Urgent Poll.

"What has been revealed as a result of some research at universities is that it's relatively easy to hack your way into the control system of a car, and to do such things as cause acceleration when the driver doesn't want acceleration, to throw on the brakes when the driver doesn't want the brakes on, to launch an air bag," former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard Clarke told The Huffington Post. "You can do some really highly destructive things now, through hacking a car, and it's not that hard."

I don't have to worry about this with any of my cars
