Karmic boots quite a bit faster than its predecessor. I upgraded and have had no real issues, aside from my computer not shutting down properly anymore (it hangs due to an I/O error, so you have to force it). I definitely wouldn't eschew it just for that though.

Kaspersky CEO Wants End To Online Anonymity 537

A user writes "Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of well-known computer security company Kaspersky Labs, is calling for an end to the anonymity of the Internet, and for the creation of mandatory 'Internet passports' for anyone who wishes to browse the Web. Says Kaspersky, 'Everyone should and must have an identification, or internet passport ... the internet was designed not for public use, but for American scientists and the US military. Then it was introduced to the public, and it was wrong ... to introduce it in the same way.' He calls anonymity 'the Internet's biggest security vulnerability' and thinks any country that doesn't follow this regime should be 'cut off.' The EFF objects, and it's likely that they won't be the only ones."
