From their FAQ:
Does it make me surf the net anonymously?
No, this browser is just to circumvent censorship, to remove limits on accessing sites governments don't want you to know about.
Further, what percentage of these machines are running pirated copies of WinXP? I know in Latin and South America, they're almost all pirated. How is it in China?
Well.. I don't think you need to be a rocket surgeon to guess that number correctly.
Sounds like a great target for an epic rick-roll trojan.. say.. where is this movie theatre located?
It will be interesting to see how they will handle this. When I visited China, computer security didn't seem to be one of the top priorities among the computer users, so the majority of the population might just not care much about updates. If it starts breaking down completely, and Windows 7 or 8 isn't as easy to pirate, perhaps we'll see a Chinese mass migration to Linux.
I wonder how difficult it would be for the Chinese government to make their own Windows patches. They could probably perform a MITM on the windows update servers and feed their own patches if a lot of unpatched Windows machines leads to an increased influx of CIA-sponsored viruses to China.

The computing power in the bitcoin pool today is 8 times the computing power of the top 500 fastest super computers in the world combined.
Even if NSA, Russia and China have more powerful setups than what's on the official Top 500 list (and I'm sure they do), it would take an immense effort to create something matching.
Actually, isn't it about time to give up hogging Hawaii now? It's so far from the mainland it's just ridiculous. Problem solved. You can still go there on vacation you know.
Oh, at the same time, leave Alaska to Canada, the maps look weird enough as it is...
I suppose this "fuzziness" is why I got curious. I would have thought that the border areas would be too fuzzy to enable someone to release a set of files for it.
Assuming Wikipedia is correct, it seems to differ a little depending on where in the states you live.
Honestly, computers are so efficient these days that fans shouldn't be necessary. I guess it's some sort of evil spiral. "Oh, the computers are so fast anyway, we don't have to bother optimizing this, it's just unnecessary developer time". Then you get to a situation where people write applications in a framework running on javascript running in an operatingsystem that is running *in* a web browser which is running on some other type of virtual machine ad absurdum.
And it's slow, but who cares, do you have a slow computer? Just buy more power.
Yes, I'm old.
