You're using the wrong OS, and Bloomberg is notorious for tracking cookies, cross-site scripting, and all around snoopiness.

I run Linux (KDE Neon) behind two IPSec firewalls (one on my router and another on my laptop), and, I have customized my FireFox 49 browser to block tracking cookies, javascripts, Java applets, 3rd party cookies, and show pics and videos only with permission.  I've also activated 8 pipes and doubled the threading to 64.  The display time on any website is a fraction of a second, and all blocked content is exposed. 

My iPhone, on the other hand, is a walled garden that keeps users inside, in handcuffs, while acting like a two-bit hooker to the rest of the world.

According to Julie Golob- Smith and Wesson team captain and spokeswoman- SMITH AND WESSON is NOT changing it's name!  The Investment/ Holding company that "owns" S&W is changing IT's name Not the gunmaker's name.

This is actually what the linked article says, the holding company has moved into manufacturing lots of other outdoors products from knives to camping supplies (it seams all outdoors related) and creating a separation from the firearms to those products opens them to a larger market share. This type of movement would just make the company stronger and able to withstand attacks all the more likely.
