Sadly our children should get used to being followed by authorities (older brother or sister, parents, neighbours, police, homeland security or government) 24/7 as early as possible.

Funny :)

But when we're talking about "Capitalism works great for non-critical, non-infrastructure goods and services", having 12Mbits/sec bandwidth to watch netflix of a phone is not on my list of critical goods and services that need to be protected from "free market influence".
Is 12Mbits/sec on a phone nice? You decide. But critical? Most definitely not.

W8 truly is a "my first operating system".

Awsome. full hd on a 7" screen.

Nobody NEEDS 12Mbits/sec on a phone.

Tell the big pharmas they can make more money by eliminating this *cough* competition.
Let them go after the spammers.
Better still. Let the pharmas outsource that to the terrorists of music industry.
They REALLY know how to deal with the internet.
Or at least how to demolish it.
And spam is a part of the internet I would LOVE to see demolished.

Well. Actually I doubt that. ONE FRELLING MONTH.
Given the fact that the average spam / scam site relocates to a new URL in no time, how hard can it be to change bank accounts every two weeks?

I'm sure the Dutch are preparing to storm your embassy and burn some flags as we speak.
After all, television learns me that is a way of reacting that should be respected.

Perhaps somebody was running some unit test on production here?

As inventor, life gets more interesting. Just publish your inventions.
If somebody files a patent that involves your invention, tell them you want your share of the money or you'll have their patent invalidated by prior art.

Oh, and tell them win-win and Ying Yang as well :)

There are so many people connected to it, there will always be people who are offended by something you say or draw.
If it's a cartoon about Mohamed or a cartoon about the ww2 holocaust, abortion, homosexuality and so on and so on.
You name it, there will be people who are offended.

The point is NOT if an opinion is the right one or not, but how to deal with the differences in opinion. Differences in opinion are not new, but without global communication the exposure to different opinions is a lot smaller and if people don't know about the other opinions, there is no reason to bother. But internet changed the world in that sense. At least for the part of the world that has internet.

The question is should you think about all the possible people that you might offend with your opinion? Should you keep it to yourself? Probably not.

If somebody in an other country does or says something that somebody else doesn't like, do you have the right to punish somebody for that?
If Assange has to be extradited because of WikiLeaks pisses off governments, shouldn't cartoonists be extradited as well?

But how about the consequences of the actions. So far Assanges actions haven't lead to any major security incidents. Ok, Information was leaked, but nobody died. Is he responsible? For what exactly? Mohamed cartoons on the other hand HAVE lead to a lot of damage and deaths. Are the cartoonists responsible for that?

Same thing for a bad joke. If I tell it to my friends, it's not a problem, but if I post it on the internet, suddenly it is, because others might be offended?

Internet makes a lot of information and opinions publicly available. Hell, it even could expose you to porn and bad jokes. Things have changed since the internet. We will have to accept we might run into different opinions, that were always there to begin with. Toughen up and deal with it in an adult manner or cancel your internet subscription.

LOL. Doit, doit!

... republican inquisition!

That's because public transport was invented by the communists.
