n met with relatives of the Newtown victims
in his Senate office, telling them that "this will not be in
vain." He became choked up when a reporter asked about the impact
of the family members' visit, saying, "I'm a parent, a grandparent ...
and I had to do something."Said Toomey: "Criminals and the dangerously mentally
ill shouldn't have guns. I don't know anyone who disagrees with that
premise." He said that expanding the checks wasn't gun control, "just common
sense."The agreement makes it all but certain that the Senate will reject
a conservative blockade and vote Thursday to begin debating Democrats' gun
legislation. Besides broader background check requirements, the bill would
also toughen laws against illicit firearms sales and provide a small increase
in school security aid.Underscoring that the fight was far from over, NRA
spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said the organization opposes the Manchin-Toomey
accord. The group, which has fought most of Obama's gun proposals and
claims nearly 5 million members, said the focus should be on improving
the nation's mental health system and sources of violence like gangs."Expanding
background checks at gun shows will not prevent the next shooting, will
not solve violent crime and will not keep our kids safe in
schools," the NRA said.On a day when first lady Michelle Obama was
visiting a violence-plagued high school in Chicago, the Obamas' hometown,
the NRA said, "President Obama should be as c
ort the
efforts to clarify current laws to prevent any delays in disclosing this
information in cases of missing children, which includes persons under age
21 under federal law."Debra Lewis, a spokeswoman for Verizon, said the phone
carrier supports the Smiths in their effort to pass the bill, but
declined to comment further on the legislation.Groups like the American
Civil Liberties Union say proposals such as Kelseys Law raise some privacy
concerns.The major one is that it removes a check on when law
enforcement can access this type of information, Chris Calabrese, legislative
counsel for the ACLU, told FoxNews.com.An emergency cant be a magic word
where all police have to do is say emergency and cellphone
companies release information, he said.While Calabrese acknowledged that
the vast majority of calls by local police are legitimate emergencies, many
have also been proven not to be.People want companies to safeguard their
information and this removes their discretion to do that, he said.

signed by Satoshi Nakamoto -- likely a pseudonym -- and the coins
made their online debut in 2009. How the coins are created, how
the transactions are authenticated and how the whole system manages to power
forward with no central bank, no financial regulator and a user base
of wily hackers all comes down to computing power and savoir faire.Or,
as Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist for the ConvergEx Group, describes
it: "genius on so many levels."The linchpin of the system is a
network of "miners" -- high-end computer users who supply the Bitcoin network
with the processing power needed to maintain a transparent, running tally
of all transactions. The tally is one of the most important ways
in which the system prevents fraud, and the miners are rewarded for
supporting the system with an occasional helping of brand-new bitcoins.Those
bitcoins have become a dangerously hot commodity in the past few days.Rising
from roughly $13 at the beginning of the year, the price of
a single bitcoin blasted through the $100 barrier last week, according to
Mt. Gox, a site where users can swap bitcoins for more traditional
currencies.On Tuesday, the price of a single bitcoin had topped $200. On
Wednesday, it hit $266 before a flash crash dragged it back down
to just over $100. By Thursday, bitcoins were trading for around $150.The
rebel currency may seem unstable, but then so do some of its
more traditional counterparts. Some say Bitcoin got
ack the Start MenuPC demand
for business users has declined as well. According to Chou, companies now
buy computers every four or five years as opposed to every three
years. Estimates for global PC shipments may fall even lower than the
already-grim 1.3 percent contraction for 2013, IDC told WSJ.At this point,
unfortunately, it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only failed
to provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to
have slowed the market, said Bob ODonnell, IDC Program Vice President, Clients
and Displays. While some consumers appreciate the new form factors and touch
capabilities of Windows 8, the radical changes to the UI, removal of
the familiar Start button, and the costs associated with touch have made
PCs a less attractive alternative to dedicated tablets and other competitive
devices.The pressure is on Microsoft to make Windows 8 more compelling to
consumers, whether it be through lower prices or big changes to the
operating system. The Windows Blue update expected this summer promises
several enhancements, including the ability to view more apps on the screen
at once and easier access to settings, but it may not be
enough.
