[h=2]<span style="color: Red;">*</span>[/h][h=2]Like, love, haha, wow, sad or angry this headline[/h]On Facebook, anyway. The social network giant debuted new reaction buttons<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Wednesday to let us<span style="color: Red;">*</span>express a range of feelings on Facebook posts besides "like." We can "love" something.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>We can "haha" at it. We can say "wow" or say that it makes us "sad" or "angry." Why the change? CEO Mark Zuckerberg: "Not every moment you want to share is happy. Sometimes you want to share something sad or frustrating." Cynics worry this could add more vitriol to commenting wars, but for now, Zuckerberg says people are feeling the "love" button the most.

The "like" button has evolved. Facebook unveiled five animated emojis you can choose instead of just the standard "like", including love, haha, wow, sad and angry. VPC
[h=2]Trump continues to do what everyone said he couldn't do[/h]The winner of Tuesday's Nevada<span style="color: Red;">*</span>GOP caucuses: Donald Trump, with a solid lead over Marco Rubio, who came in second, and Ted Cruz, who was third.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Trump's victory is his third consecutive win in three vastly different states. Say what you will about the Donald, but his Nevada victory happened<span style="color: Red;">*</span>because he won<span style="color: Red;">*</span>every ideological group, every education group (remember, he loves the '"poorly educated"), every racial group and both genders. Those who doubt Trump's candidacy have been disproven over and over and over again. Next test:<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Super Tuesday, with contests in 11 states.

[h=2]The tale of getting hacked mid-flight (while writing about Apple and the FBI)[/h]Columnist Steven Petrow<span style="color: Red;">*</span>found out — in a chillingly personal way — why the battle over encryption matters. He wrote:<span style="color: Red;">*</span>I'd spent much of a recent flight working, using American Airlines GoGo in-flight<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Internet connection. As I was putting on my jacket, a guy in the row behind me<span style="color: Red;">*</span>said: "I need to talk to you. ...<span style="color: Red;">*</span>You’re a reporter, right?"<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Me: "Um, yes."<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Him: "Wait for me at the gate." The guy then detailed how he had hacked into my email, and into the email of most people on the flight. WHOA. But there's more: That's how he knew I was writing about Apple and the FBI. "That’s why this story is so important to everyone,"<span style="color: Red;">*</span>he told me. "It’s about everyone’s privacy." The column is a must-read.<span style="color: Red;">*</span><span style="color: Red;">*</span>As the legal battle between Apple and the FBI<span style="color: Red;">*</span>picks up momentum, here's a look at the voices weighing in.
[h=2]Be careful what you put on, ahem, down there<span style="color: Red;">*</span>because, who knew? Talcum powder,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>ovarian cancer linked[/h]A case involving the family of a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>woman who blamed the talc in baby powder for causing their mother's fatal<span style="color: Red;">*</span>ovarian cancer raises questions about the product's<span style="color: Red;">*</span>safety — especially<span style="color: Red;">*</span>for feminine hygiene<span style="color: Red;">*</span>use.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Johnson & Johnson has been<span style="color: Red;">*</span>ordered<span style="color: Red;">*</span>to pay the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>woman's family $72 million in damages. After her cancer diagnosis,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Jackie Fox<span style="color: Red;">*</span>joined dozens of women suing the company for what they said<span style="color: Red;">*</span>was a failure to inform consumers about the dangers of talc. Johnson & Johnson says its products are safe. An eye-popping fact: In the past, talc contained asbestos (although talcum powder used in products for humans has been asbestos-free since the 1970s.)
