A REPORT ON AN Israeli wire said that the government will back and partially finance the conversion of StarOffice to the Hebrew language.

The move is being taken because the Israeli government wishes to have an alternative to Microsoft Office, localised for the Hebrew language.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
