I just figured out what happened. I copied the url from the link on the foxnews.com page yesterday. Someone there made a mistake. Instead of putting in www.foxnews.com they put wwwfoxnews.com. Once I corrected the typo, I got the article I was supposed to.

    Today I tried opening a link at foxnews.com <http://foxnews.com>.

    
http://wwwfoxnews.com/tech/slideshow/2013/06/08/mind-meld-top-brain-controlled-techs/

    The link I saw at http://www.foxnews.com/ has a picture of some
    guy with a hat on and the words "brain-controlled tech" below it.
     I clicked the link and was taken to another site asking me to
    take a survey.  I closed the browser and tried again.  This time
    it also took me to another site, but told me I needed to update my
    flash player immediately.  Of course I didn't.  I'm interested in
    finding out whether or not there's something going wrong with my
    computer or if foxnews.com <http://foxnews.com> got hacked.  Could
    at least one of you try the link and see if you get the same
    thing?  I'm interested in whether my computer has a malware
    infection, foxnews got hacked or if somebody there is up to no
    good.  Also I tried my vpn account to get IP addresses is this
    country and elsewhere.  I always get the same dodgy site.  I
    checked my /etc/hosts file and nothing is there that I didn't put
    there.  Also clamav didn't find anything.

    With another thread in mind, I'm wondering if the NSA is messing
    with Fox News.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
