      <![CDATA[@11 I wouldn't worry about Iceland.  It's one of the most educated and literate places on earth.  They're proud of their language and culture, but they also reach out and touch the rest of the world at will.  I seriously doubt there's anyone over the age of 10 who hasn't already figured out how to pirate shit through proxy servers.

      <![CDATA[More and more, Apple is becoming the Orwellian company they made fun of 29 years ago. <br />
<br />
@9  Yeah, funny how a year ago everyone was raving about how awesome Iceland was in dealing with their banking problems and having citizens re-write their constitution (power to the people!), only to have them attempt to ban all forms of porn.  This in addition to the fact that parents cant name their children unless its from an approved list of names.

      <![CDATA[DouginSF dear, I know exactly what you mean. It reminds me of the ad for fixmypc (or something to that effect) that takes place in a flower shop. That ad has the worst acting this side of porn (and both the actors look like porn actors on a side job) <br />
<br />
Speaking of porn, I watch a dreadful amount of it on Apple products, but if they can spare me all the emails for it, it's not going to bother me. <br>

Outlook for home could probably grab a decent share of current webmail users based on the point their trying to make, but that ad is shit.
