Sure, that'd be the major reason. Surprise parties. Yep.Users may wish to turn on the privacy mode if they are planning a surprise party, buying presents or researching a medical condition and do not want others users of the same computer to find out.
Who do you think you are? If you'd stopped winning, you could have been the Biggest Loser, if you gave up, you could have been a Survivor, if you'd stopped reading Orwell, you could have been on Big Brother!

Surprise!Although “private browsing” can be easily associated with viewing particular genres of media content, the Mozilla foundation argues “while viewing pornography may be a popular use case due to the nature of content on the Web, assuming that this is the only reason that users need private browsing trivializes the overall feature. For instance, users may wish to begin a private browsing session to research a medical condition, or plan a surprise vacation or birthday party for a loved one.”

Having an abundance of platonic relationships reminiscent of my man, Mike Plato.
All that's left is a beautiful hour
And it's ours, ours.
The pale blue dot.

This sentence is full of win:
"We didn't expect anything like what you have witnessed to occur," said WTF secretary general Yang Jin-suk.

An online beautfy pageant for nuns:

According to the sponsor, the point is to show the world that not all nuns are old, dour, and wrinkly. That being said, couldn't CNN have found a picture of some non-homely nuns?

A prison guard who survived two tours of duty in Iraq was killed by inmates. It's a tragedy. Once again, though, CNN is on the case with ridiculous writing:
Really? Benign objects like ICE PICKS?CNN wrote:Prisoners make shanks like the one used to kill Rivera and other weapons from otherwise benign objects: toothbrushes, toilet parts, cookie sheets, ice picks and kitchen utensils, to name a few. Gang rivalries exacerbate a volatile situation.
CNN talking about the US presidential race and the effect that John McCain's choice of VP candidate will have on likely voters:

OK: WHY do you have "6 in 10" (using numbers) and then "one in five" using words? Additionally -- and this may be hard to grasp for the retards at CNN -- *five and ten share a common denominator.* If you inist on going with "6 in 10", then why aren't the next two both "2 in 10"? Or even better, just make it "3 in 5" and 1 in 5" or "six in ten" and "two of ten". For fucks sake, my eyes are bleeding.Almost 6 in 10 Americans say Palin's selection as McCain's running mate will have no effect on their vote. One in five say it makes them more likely to vote for McCain; one in five say it makes them less likely.

Nine sevenths of all journalists failed their stats and basics maths units, I see.
Also:
There are lies, damn lies, statistics and then journalism.
