Highly sensitive Ferrari and McLaren information, from the World Motor Sports Council hearings into the espionage affair in July and September, has been leaked by the FIA by "a mistake".

The mistake that was made is extraordinarily brainless: the areas of the published documents that were blacked out in an attempt to censor parts of the papers, could easily be revealed by simply copying and pasting the text into a new document.

Such an error also happened in a much worrying and serious situation in 2005, when the Pentagon released a "censored" document about the infamous "Calipari case", an Italian secret service agent which was shot dead by an American soldier at a checkpoint in Baghdad, while on a hostage rescue mission (the hostage and the driver were both injured as well).

The city of Szklarska Poreba, in Poland, has become the first “FREE HotSpot Zone” in Europe. This have been achieved thanks to cooperation of present FREE active HotSpots united into one huge single network. The free access to Internet without per-hour rates is now offered in more than 50 hotels, restaurants, bar's and other places in the center city and the periphery, free-hotspot.com informed.

The development of the “FREE HotSpot Zones” could be obtained thanks to the collaboration between the government of the city, center for the winter sports and free-hotspot.com, society specialized in creating free hot spot's, or we should call it free Wifi Zone's!

In the West, for the last 60 years or so, thanks to the continuous availability of cheap energy which allowed a massive inflow of raw materials and the mass production of any conceivable good, a “bigger / better / faster” lifestyle was purposely spread among the masses together with a generalized growth of wages, “rights”, and education, thus creating a huge middle class of happy consumers, on the whole improving everyone's health and way of living.

Due to the conditions existing at the time, market driven liberal / social democracies created and distributed never-before-seen amounts of wealth among their citizens.

Since conditions have changed substantially from those times, we must look at reality in an unbiased way, realize that this historical period has reached its maximum and peaked, and that we are now living in the twilight of the Cheap Energy / Mass Hedonism Age: average health and wealth standards are recessing, signs that the Big Shiny Happiness Machine is chocking and breaking down are everywhere, and the already shrinking middle class is destined to disappear.

One thing is clear: world is about to change. What can we expect? New leaders of two big countries will be elected. In case of new US president it is now clear, that next president will be from democrats. And in Russia, well, whole land is waiting for a signal from Mr. Putin.

In U.S. the main discussion is now about the war in Iraq (and a bit in shadow remains still unfinished battle in Afghanistan). Every observer can see two main streams, from which one says, that U.S. troops should return immediately from their foreign missions, the other says, that the world is still in war with terror and that it is wrong to step back now. But as in every country, also in U.S. there are many groups, that are interested on results of the presidental elections and many that will profit from it.

In good old Western movies, a typical character is the Snake Oil peddler, a "doctor" with dubious credentials travelling around from town to town, selling miracle potions, lotions, and every kind of bogus panaceas.

Those fake medicines were useless, for the most, if not poisonous. But by the time the Snake Oil dealer left town, it was nearly impossible to bring him to justice; moreover, those who fell victim of the scam were not easily convinced to complain publicly, because, righteously, everyone would have laughed after them.

Ignorance, arrogance and greed, together, shape the world.

As Andersen’s fairy tale clearly states, power, money and the fear of loosing them make people at any level behave in stupid, blind, immoral, and dangerous ways.

Only those who have nothing to gain from not telling the truth, from not misbehaving, will do it.

In our case, an Australian 16 yo boy was able to crack the new Government-made 89 million dollars worth anti-porn family filter, in 30 minutes. His technique ensures the software's toolbar icon is not deleted, leaving parents under the impression the filter is still working.

Then he called the press and showed them how easy it was to crack it. The Emperor is naked, he said.
