Why is this a global action, rather than US-only? And why now, if some American legislators appear to be in tactical retreat on SOPA?
The reality is that we don’t think SOPA is going away, and PIPA is still quite active. Moreover, SOPA and PIPA are just indicators of a much broader problem. All around the world, we’re seeing the development of legislation intended to fight online piracy, and regulate the Internet in other ways, that hurt online freedoms. Our concern extends beyond SOPA and PIPA: they are just part of the problem. We want the Internet to remain free and open, everywhere, for everyone.

Bill Gates may lose out to Steve Jobs in the coolness department, but if the Gates Foundation can eradicate malaria in Africa, do you think the Nobel committee will award the prize to the creator of the MacBook Air?

@yosoyclaro me confundió este anuncio del Pearl 3G. Cómo es que le sale el flash blanco por el led de colores?
No es en el que está de espaldas de donde debe salir el flash?
