A member of Occupy London walks outside the High Court in London January 18, 2012. A court ruled that a protest camp denouncing economic inequality should be removed from its site outside St Paul’s Cathedral in London. Dozens of protesters from the Occupy London movement have been camping outside St Paul’s, one of London’s top tourist attractions, since October. Their original target was the nearby London Stock Exchange but police did not let them camp there.

“If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did,” Wahlberg says. “There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’”
Really.
Imagine a world where Marky Mark is a 9/11 Hero and never opened up a burger establishment.
Wikipedia - Laigí agus Láidreachtaí
Wikipedia
Tá Wikipedia tar éis ainm a tharraingt air féin mar suíomh le go leor eolas bréagach. Tá eolas aici ar beagnach gach topic, ach cé chomh iontaofa is atá an eolas atá á chuir ar fáil acu?
Ní féidir a rá nach bhfuil an eolas ar Wikipedia i formáid inrochtana. Tá an leathanach leagtha amach go slachtmhar, agus tá fotheideal ag gach alt, ag déanamh píosa beag eolas éasca le haimsiú, agus í a aimsiú go tapaigh.
Nuair a chuardaíonn tú focal ar Google, nó inneall cuardaigh eile, bíonn tortha ó Wikipedia mar an chéad, nó ceann dena céad torthaí a tagann suas. Is rud úsáideach í le haghaidh cúlra tapaigh a fháil ar ábhar.
Ach fós bíonn drogall ar dhaoine í a úsáid mar foinse nó mar tagairt, mar gheall gur féidir le aon duine leathanach a cruthú, agus eolais a athrú inti. D’fhéadfach ráflaí a bheith suas ar Wikipedia amhail is gur fíric atá inti, agus is minic a bhíonn tuairimí claonta le feiceáil ar an suíomh.
D’ainneoin seo, faigheann Wikipedia 2.5 billiún amhairc leathanaigh in aghaidh na míosa, ag teaspáint go bhfuil sí in úsáid, agus b’fhéidir gur cuma le daoine faoi cruinneas, fad is atá eolas de shaghas éigin á fáil acu go tapaigh.
Ar aon chuma, an féidir brath go hiomlán ar aon eolas atá ar an idirlín?
