We all agree on that, but I have to wonder where this is coming from? I don't mean from the (R) fellow, but where the money trail leads to. Maybe because I'm tired, but I can't think of who stands to monitarily benefit from this. Google? FBI? What's the point...?

I'm in tech support you insensitive clod!

Nitpick mode on:

It's not 'poisonous', it's 'venomous'

Somewhere in the insane ramblings of the original Kim was the comment that no great breakthrough can come without great struggle.

Couple this ideology with the total worship of self-reliance and you can see where this is going:
NK is too proud to ask for food from outsides (it would defeat their total self-reliance) even though it needs it, instead it rattles the sabre and makes threats, then 'agrees' to back down if the West will provide food.

Wash, rinse, repeat. It all comes together if you keep the first fact in mind. This is the way of NK and will be until the gov't is removed from power.

They were arrogant, and their digital products reflected this. The DCS line of Pro cameras were hugely expensive with some pretty severe limitations, and their consumer line was a joke.
Rather than correcting that, they ignored the digital market and at the same time couldn't pick a new direction to go with their existing strengths and in the end, pissed it all away. Even now, they have no clue what they want to be, an ink and printer 'giant'? Give me a break.

Threaten them (the US) with calling in all the outstanding monitary loans it owes. You know, "sign this, or become the next Greece" sort of thing.

Stop doing businees in and with China, entirely.
Bring manufacturing and jobs back to your home country/state and improve your own damn economy. /radical concept I know.

Iceweasel-

Off topic completely but I have a small photo blog (http://plaguedbethyangel.blogspot.com/ if anyone cares) and on the back-end I can see what browsers were used to visit my site, and iceweasel is one of those that has a non-zero percentage of visits. Always wondered what it was, figured it was something included in an obscure distro of Linux. Now I know better. So thanks for visiting all you iceweasel users!

Is a case against some Dell folks for massive insider trading scam.

Wanna take a whild guess as to who gets more jail time?

TVs "just worked"?
You turned them on, flipped tot he station you wanted, and away you went.

I can't imagine a "smart" TV now. Gotta update the thing like an xbox360 before you can watch it? TVs that crash and require rebooting?

Where's the advance here?
