It seems to me that this whole endeavor is just a doorway for more control/censorship a couple of years from now. Once the technology is set up and the practice is sanctioned, more and more 'bad practices' will start being policed and punis

I don't know how it's been going in the US, but I'm pretty used to seeing ISPs advertise their high-bandwith services towards downloading music, video and online gaming. They want to get the heavy users to pay a lot and then they punish the

Using DDG, quite often I don't even have to click any search results to find what I was looking for (usually a quick documentation snippet). I feel that in old times I had that with google too, nowadays I often have to scroll around and eve

Ok, I might have exagerated. The thing is, when a company chooses to manufacture pharmaceuticals, it shouldn't just be 'business as usual' for them. They must realize that they have a social responsability to undertake besides making a prof

Yes, Microsoft is fond of alienating its user base, it amazes me how often they do that. I don't plan on using Windows 8, but if I did, I'd probably be alienated just as much as since until now I haven't really used a single touch device. A
