"origin": "A blog post from Dr. Brang at Leancrew.com outlined a process, based on an Apple patent filing, \"that allows them to make 18k gold that has, on a volume basis, less gold than regular 18k gold.\" He went on to say that, \"Because the casing of a watch is made to a particular size (i.e. volume), not to a particular weight, the Watch will have less gold in it than an 18k case made of a conventional alloy.\" The post cited a December patent issued to Apple as evidence: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=20140361670.PGNR. It remains to be confirmed that this method will be present in the Apple Watch Edition.",

The major Spanish paper El Pais referred to the ad as a \"mocumentary\" and reported that \"This performance by actors is based on interviews with a real person who once harassed a female relative by mistake and expressed 'deep shame.\" The advertising beat writer for Gestion, the leading business paper in Peru, wrote that the scenes were clearly staged. He said: \"Nevertheless, speaking about the narrative aspect, it is obvious the situations had been staged. We do understand it would be difficult to go with real interactions, but it is also obvious they wanted us to believe they were real, when they're not.\" A post in Spanish from Global Voices also included the statement that the video was staged for the PSA.

Cringely is a veteran journalist and recently wrote an ebook about IBM. However, an unidentified IBM spokesperson responded by calling the claim \"ridiculous\" and \"baseless.\" She added: \"If anyone had checked information readily available from our public earnings statements, or had simply asked us, they would know that IBM has already announced the company has just taken a $600 million charge for workforce rebalancing. This equates to several thousand people, a mere fraction of what's been reported.\" We are keeping this as unverified since the claim has a lifespan of one week and it will be proven true or false by Friday. Correction: the headline of this claim initially said 11,000 rather than 110,000 jobs.",

None of the French press reports describe him as a lead investigator. His connection to the Charlie Hebdo case is an afterthought in reports. 2. A police union rep said that Freou had been suffering from depression and burnout. His suicide did not come completely out of nowhere. 3. A little more than a year earlier he had discovered the body of a colleague who committed suicide. 4. It's possible but unconfirmed that his mental state plus his colleague's suicide combined with the Charlie Hebdo incident to help pushing him over the edge, of course. But his role in the Charlie Hebdo investigation has been overstate and manipulated. This claim was beginning to spread on Facebook and elsewhere, so we offer this debunking.",

"origin": "The story has spread widely and was reported early on in the Polish press. RMF24 published an article about her and her surgery on Dec. 24. Jasica later posted to Facebook to explain that the operation required her to be woken up during surgery “waking me up was deliberate – This method is called Awake Craniatomy. It was deliberate and planned.” So this was not a surprise to her doctors, even though many reports present it as such. Jasica noted on FB that many articles about her included mistakes. The story has spread all over the world; we are tracking a selection of English-language articles. This post was updated on Jan. 4 to add in her Facebook page and information about early reports in the Polish press.",

I do not remember anything from the operation, but the Lady psychologist who talked with me said that if I showed the pictures, I answered normally, but when I saw the cat is sweet voice said, 'caaaaaaaaaat.'\" This was a case where the overall claim is true but media got a key piece of information wrong: her waking up during surgery was not a freak accident. That's a key part of why the story spread, but it was not accurate. Still, she did wake up, she did speak with doctors and she did have an interaction related to cats. So, the claim is true, with one key caveat.",

Lin and the homeless man were in a car together before filming started, the witness said. Lin is a prankster, which made the video suspect form the start. Lin has said that he expects to hold one final public event with the man int he video to present him with the money being raised in an IndieGoGo campaign. We await that event to see if Lin changes his claim that it was not staged. Until then, we keep it Unverified but note that people should be highly skeptical.",

Along those lines, one of the three images that accompanied the Times article was taken from a story that had been published in the Austrian press four years earlier: http://www.oe24.at/oesterreich/chronik/salzburg/Saalbach-lagerte-das-weisse-Gold/5736774 That article was about the same race being made possible thanks to the collection and storage of snow. It's entirely possible that the resort needed to do this again in 2014, however it's also possible that this is the recycling of a four year old story as new. What's for sure is that the main image is from 2010 and is presented as recent by the Times.",

It quotes Argentine historian Daniel Balmaceda saying that the adoption has nothing to do with the werewolf legend. “The local myth of the lobizón is not in any way connected to the custom that began over 100 years ago by which every seventh son (or seventh daughter) born in Argentina becomes godchild to the president,” he said. The president's tweets and blog post about the ceremony also say nothing about werewolves, and she had previously adopted other seventh children. Argentinian media reports about the adoption also say nothing about werewolves. The news was that he was the first Jewish presidential godson. For example, there is this report from Argentinian media: http://www.lavoz.com.ar/politica/cristina-es-madrina-por-primera-vez-de-un-ahijado-judio Finally, there is a legend in Europe about seventh sons and werewolves, and families would often get someone to be a godparent to that child to ward off the transformation. But it is not connected to the Argentinian legend of werewolves. ",

Finally, MailOnline has expressed skepticism (see article linked below) given the fact that the same group also published another photo of a truck with a gun in what they say might be the same location. The trucks are different, as is their positioning in the image and the firing blast. The guns are different, too. Also, there is no way this group would know to place the correct truck number on the left side of the hood, as shown in the photo. That marking and other details help confirm it was a Mark-1 plumbing truck. We are therefore marking this as True. ",
