POPSCubans allowed to buy products they can't afford This is interesting. On the one hand, the new access to personal computers creates a new, de-facto freedom of the press (even without internet access to blog or post on forums, all you need is a printer to distribute anti-government literature). On the other hand, only the well-off can afford this stuff, and the well-off are less likely to agitate against the system, particularly if the system gives them cell phones and computers.

POPSFirefox still more secure than IE Though the author seems to go out of his way to praise Microsoft and make Firefox look bad, he was forced to admit that Mozilla patches vulnerabilities faster than Microsoft. Then if you stop looking at irrelevant stats like how many vulnerabilities are discovered in a given length of time and start looking at how many vulnerabilites remain unpatched now and how severe they are, FF comes out on top by a long shot (4 vs. 18, Less Critical vs. Moderately Critical according to Secunia.com). And that's a pretty good showing by Microsoft, who usually can be counted on to leave an Extremely Critical flaw unpatched for months at a time.
