Microsoft's problem isn't how often it updates Windows, it's how it develops it.
Well duh, no one else that releases that often... Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, Arch, FreeBSD, etc. have similar issues. It is a problem with MS, not the release cycle.

Is Tornado Alley Moving to the East?
For places like Dallas, this is huge. Ten years ago we had tornadoes constantly, it was just a normal part of life. Now being back a decade later, we forget that it is really even a concern. Used to have them regularly, like every couple months, now two years without one and we have kind of forgotten them as a major threat.
We've definitely seen this in MS. Lot of damage in my area the last few years by multiple tornadoes.

I am not sorry that you stood on train tracks and got run over by a train. I can feel sympathy for the families, but not for the stupid.
But the kids... Just standing with their parents.
Very sad, they think people couldn't hear the train coming.
Even if they couldn't hear it, you'd think they would still feel it.

Yeah.... trains are loud and cause a lot of vibration on both the tracks and the surrounding ground. Not sure how people couldn't hear it coming.

who stands on an active track and doesn't assume a train could come at any minute? That's like darwin award worthy.

How did Iran find CIA spies? They Googled it
Yahoo News report points to exposure of CIA communications causing deaths of dozens.
A covert "transitional" channel used for communicating with sources that Central Intelligence Agency handlers couldn't reach directly was exposed and infiltrated by Iranian intelligence in 2009. The breakdown in operational security—which apparently relied heavily on security through obscurity—was the result of Iranian intelligence officials simply using Google to locate the websites used as the communications channel after a double-agent exposed the method used by the CIA, according to a report from Yahoo News' Zach Dorfman and Jenna McLaughlin.
Once a double agent presented information about a website the agent had been directed to in order to communicate with the CIA, Iranian intelligence apparently used aspects of the URL to search for other, similar websites. Iranian officials were reportedly able to rapidly identify a number of other such sites, which were set up as temporary communications systems for new, unvetted sources by the CIA. As a result, Iran's intelligence was able to quickly identify the Iranians communicating through those sites. The breach led to the roundup in 2011 of 30 people identified by Iran as CIA spies.
Further digging into these compromised sites may have exposed the identity of CIA personnel as well. During the same timeframe, Iranian intelligence officials were also directly approaching US CIA officers, trying to recruit them to be double agents.....
