In Iran? Non-Iranian websites are already blocked in Iran, so it's not like people in Iran will see it on Google Maps. And it's the Iranians won't in a US court. Maybe France since the French don't like American companies.

I don't transcode and my Excel sheets aren't that complicated. I suspect that most people are like me, we do basic work and play a game or two. I play TF2 on my laptop, it's 3 year old laptop with a new SSD. Plays fine. I can't think of the last time that I was truly CPU limited. I've been GPU limited since Crysis. I can't play that beyond low detail level.

What's new? Microsoft has been de-bundling software to push more expensive SKUs for awhile. Last year, my friend was very upset that that his new Windows 7 desktop no longer had support for additional languages, he would have to get the Ultimate Edition. It's a very annoying de-bundling for some people because it's a feature that's been there for at least Win95. "Upgrading" to the Ultimate Edition is not exact cheap, plus he would lose out on the extended support of his "Pro" version. I just dropped by his house recently, saw a new iMac. Microsoft pushed him too hard to extract extra money and they pushed him to Apple. His logic was that it cost pretty much the same for a new all-in-one Win7 with Ultimate or an iMac, and he's tire of dealing with Microsoft's bs.

For Windows 15, all we would get is a "C:\" at startup. You want a graphic interface, pay for that part. Oh, connecting to anything else besides the authentication server, gotta pay for that too. Printing, that's going to cost you.

I don't need to play games on my computer or console (see SONY story from earlier). I still have a back log of 40 games that have never gone through.

Honey roasted peanuts.

I must be the most boring person around because I never see advertising on FB. My "Sponsored" area is always blank.

There was a movie? Fahrenheit 451 is one of those books that doesn't look like it would ever work as a movie.

Of course, Equilibrium was basically the same premise and worked out well as a movie.

There's so much porn and gay sex going on in there for a thousand protests.

What I want is for someone to rewrite the bible stories without any of the religious text. Let's see how long before we get a good old fashion book burning.

Your network was probably hacked because you used lousy passwords and/or your employees got phished. If Iran didn't do it, someone else eventually would.

The overunity people just collectively heard the sound of cash registers. "Look it's proven by people from MIT. Our new device harnesses the power of LED at the atomic level."

Meanwhile, Steorn Ltd. calls up their investors and tells them there's been a breakthrough coming from America.
