Why Can't Tech Companies Break Into TV? (The Atlantic Wire) - The Atlantic Wire - The race to conquer America's "digital living room" has attracted the country's biggest tech companies, such as Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon. But if the lukewarm reception to Apple TV reveals anything, it's that Silicon Valley is still a long way from taking over your TV set. For proof, look no further than Steve Jobs, who raised serious doubts about expanding into television just two months ago in an interview with All Things Digital:Illegal Immigration Has Declined: Why? (The Atlantic Wire) - The Atlantic Wire - A new study from the Pew Hispanic Center finds that illegal immigration is down. There was nearly two-thirds less immigration, as measured by annual inflow, between 2007 and 2009 than between 2000 and 2005, report Pew authors Jeffrey Passel and D'Vera Cohn.

5 Best Thursday Columns (The Atlantic Wire) - The Atlantic Wire - Daniel Henninger on 'If Saddam Had Stayed' The Wall Street Journal columnist looks back from the president's recent Iraq speech to one he made in 2002, then a state senator, in which he called the potential conflict a "dumb war." Back then, Obama argued that Saddam Hussein was a bloody dictator, but one that could be contained and did not pose an immediate threat to the U.S. Henninger then asks: what would the world look like if Obama's "'smarter' view had prevailed?" In answer, he paints a dark scenario in which Saddam moved to join Iran and North Korea in developing nuclear weapons, thereby "incentivizing Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Sudan" to pursue them as well. By deposing Saddam, Henninger writes, the U.S. took out at least one of the "nuclear-obsessed madmen off the table and gave the world more margin to deal with the threat that remains."
