Chances are Tumblr, Blogger, Flickr, Imgur and Imagebam will be blocked by the new "mommy" filters, all 3 are known to contain lots of porn
(I should know :D)
the idea of ISP level filtering is aweful, let alone "on by default", if it's gonna be shoved down our throats it should be "off by default" and customers should be informed about their options
"While tax evasion is illegal, tax avoidance is entirely legal" WTF
UK government should really change that, trying to get out of taxes at all should be illegal, regardless of whether you work for a UK based company or a company using the already mentioned "Irish double Dutch sandwich", if you have operations in the UK you should be liable for all relavent taxes!
I don't care about the fact that Netflix offers content with DRM, £5.99 a month is great, what bugs me is silverlight , I dual boot Win8 and Linux Mint, netflix works great with WIn8 both metro and browser, Linux Mint requires a version of FIrefox running in Wine which has been specially compiled for silverlight, It's a pain in the neck, HTML5 will fix this :D
ps for Netflix UK users wishing to view Netflix US, have a look at firefox/chrome addon 'MediaHint' (google it)
So I'm a bit strange but I actually like IE9, its clean and fast, the welcome to IE9 prompt is short and sweet.
Now IE10 (Metro version [I don't care what Microsoft call it!!]) can go burn in hell, the idea of "hiding" tabs and URL bar was obviously concieved by someone stoned/drunk, I use windows 8 and have FF21 and Chrome 26 installed, if Win8 came with a Metro version IE9 by default I don't think FF/Chrome would get a look in.
Obviously IE8 and lower were a steamy pile of c**p, although I think a good number of techies would agree with me on that one
