# 1: Top Ranked Stories

Once again - here's the round up of some of the world's most popular stories. If there's a trend among a few of these stories, perhaps it's the idea of fairness. Whether you're concerned about US Supreme Court justices  visiting "conferences" hosted by billionaires and the justices wives receiving bags of money from anonymous groups/individuals or how Australian restaurants divvy up tips or a witty commentary on Nick Clegg's (Britain's leader of the Liberal Democrat party) views on fairness - then you're in the majority.

Two major papers square off today. The idea of fairness probably finds its most contentious battleground drawn up over the issue of taxing and spending - an issue that makes it to the top of the UK's Telegraph which drives a piece to first place by deriding one of the New York Time's most popular writers. And the Guardian's second most popular story - how bee brains outperform computers - gets my vote for most interesting piece.
