Given the Norths history of failing to actually get crap off the ground I dont really think a laser to shoot it down would be necessary. Besides, dont you think the NK rulers would be all over a story where someone shot down their missile?

BT was trialling Phorm, which uses uses cookies to build a profile of users' habits and interests based on websites they visit, in 2006 and 2007, attracting the scorn of privacy campaigners. After much back and forth, the CPS dropped the case in April 2011. Now, privacy campaigner Alex Hanff, who discovered a document appearing to show an officer had been taken to lunch by Phorm in 2010, wants the case to be reopened."

I'd just like to chip in as well on the Safari issue with Youtube. Not only am I having problems with Youtube, but actually on flash heavy sites in general. It can really, really slow down my Macbook.

Actually, I find that people are starting to care a lot more these days. All the scare mongering with Facebook has ment that people take notice and think about what they do online. A bad security record gets more attention in the media as well so to me it's not so clear cut anymore, people do care and you can't get away with everything.

Many companies (including the one I work for) have a policy that they don't upgrade to every version, but skip one. So going from XP to Win 7 was just part of that policy.

I'd argue that with that kind of classification it can hardly be called a "movement". Viewed from the outside they don't look schizophrenic, rather it looks like anyone who wants to stir up some trouble can just claim to be from Anonymous and thus get extra media attention towards what has been done. Since there is no common ground or movement, it's not possible to say that you're sympathetic to the cause either because the question would then become "what cause?".

I'd say it also serves to prove the point that "common sense" really isn't that common.

But most companies (anecdotal IÂm sure) have not upgraded from XP yet, and no matter how good it is, it is showing its age. Windows 7 could actually be perfectly timed, and with the right marketing perhaps they can land some deals that Vista failed to do.
The hardware demands are not finalized and most companies will turn off the visual effects anyway.
