Comment in the Form of a Question

I've been watching jeopardy for as long as I've been watching TV. When I was in grade school, we didn't have a school cafeteria, so I had the wonderful advantage of going home for lunch. My dad would heat up a can of Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee beef stew, and I'd plop on the living room floor for a half hour--the same half hour that Art Fleming was hosting the Jeopardy show. The show's been around for a long, long time . . . and no wonder . . . because it's quality, it's educational, it's fun, and it exercises your brain.

Here's some answers that you can provide the "question" for in the categories of . . .

Computing 101:
  • In computerese, it's the "app" in "killer app"
  • This 4-letter term for a small image on a computer screen shares its name with a specialized image of a holy person
  • A flatbed one of these optical devices is used to get images into your computer to use on your website
  • In order to get online, you'll need one of these, an ISP
  • "Broadcast yourself" is the slogan of this website that was recently bought for $1.6 billion

in Newspaper Sections:

  • Section where Troy Polamalu & Shawn Green make headlines
  • The New York Times runs bestseller lists in this Sunday section
  • It doesn't contain secret data but ads divided into categories
  • Wow! This L.A. Times section says ALCAN is up 5 cents! Sell!!
  • The Washington Post section on city life; it's also the city's subway

and in MMM . . . Chocolate!:

  • 2005 saw the debut of a new Take 5 candy bar made with this "pale" chocolate
  • You can custom order these candies with your own slogan printed on one side & the famous "m" on the other
  • This candy bar's trio is made up of Porthos, Athos & D'Artagnan; its website stated, "We do not use Aramis"
  • Lake Champlain Chocolates are made in this U.S. state (try the maple crunch)
  • Cortes introduced chocolate to Europe after encountering it in "the halls of" this Aztec emperor

Make sure you phrase in the form of a question and include the answer in your comment! Have fun.
