But it seems to me that we really don't agonize over $1 apps. It's installing the free one that we're worried are in-app money sinks or simply crap for free. When it comes to the $1 crap apps, we resort to "you get what you pay for", but when it's free and it's crap we're more likely to be pissy about it.

Net Users In Belarus May Soon Have To Register 89

Posted by timothy on Monday January 04, 2010 @03:59AM from the not-just-register-their-displeasure dept.

Cwix writes "A new law proposed in Belarus would require all net users and online publications to register with the state: 'Belarus' authoritarian leader is promising to toughen regulation of the Internet and its users in an apparent effort to exert control over the last fully free medium in the former Soviet state. He told journalists that a new Internet bill, proposed Tuesday, would require the registration and identification of all online publications and of each Web user, including visitors to Internet cafes. Web service providers would have to report this information to police, courts, and special services.'"
