For anybody who wants a basic overview of Malay law regarding these matters, there's an issue of the Malayan Law Journal (actually an article supplement) that covers this in language easily understood by the layperson (and it's also in English, to boot). The PDF is located here: http://jeraldgomez.com/pdf/7cd40a1889d4539feffda786372ff33b.pdf and I would point you to page 3 (page 4 of the PDF).

Basically, they are based on English Common Law, and signed the UDHR, but have a history of legislation that allows detention without trial, originally designed to combat communism.

I'm glad to see somebody mention ad server response times. That is by far the biggest factor in slow page loads for me. I don't hesitate to move on to the next site when a site is sitting there waiting for an ad server to deliver content.

I don't mind too much opening multiple tabs in order to let one load on my desktop, but it really sucks on my phone.
Just yesterday I installed Adblock (Or Adblock Plus, whichever it was) on Firefox for Android; hopefully it's as good as the desktop version of ABP.

often times they don't even vet the advertisers so that they become a vector of malware payloads, and ruin it for everyone else.

This and the fact that third party ad server response can significantly delay page loading is why I pretty much only whitelist sites that handle ads in house. Once a site sells space to a network that partners with other networks (which most do), it becomes anyone's guess what will come out.

>> Yoked of innovation

So you say, but the next big thing is just around the corner. It's called Social IRL. Right now there's a whole industry building out places to meet and socialize in meat-space (mostly food and drink based forums). Those on the cutting edge are just getting involved in this technology, but soon it will be the biggest social networking innovation ever! Social IRL - the next, next thing.
