Wow! I've always had a thing for dystopian literature, and the world this article presents actually seems plausible. Two ideas I particularly found intriguing: -The idea of using an avatar to mask your true physical appearance. This seems l

I would say we're already screwed if we're allowing governments to get in situations where they "consider Yahoo's reputation." That's none of their damn business.
