Tech: LEAKED: Microsoft’s possible Windows 8 plans? Wow.

Politics: “Going Rogue” leak: Sarah Palin trashes Katie Couric & John McCain

The document was marked “highly confidential,” which sounds scary. Some experts claim the leak isn’t THAT big a deal, but it’s not the first data screwup while Obama’s been in office. source
