I tried the service, and am pretty amazed. It has all dutch national newspapers. You can scroll through the papers pages, and click (and pay) to read the articles.

The only thing I am really missing is an indication of article length. Knowing the length of an article beforehand will influence my selection, since I prefer (longer) background articles.

It wiggles from left to right. You can see it from 1:44. The monitor constantly wiggles when the guy is using his mouse. This is bad design.

Not sure how useful it will be for gamers.

How will you select the papers? I would suggest you to read the real groundbreaking papers, but it would still be a difficult task to select these from all fields of science.

I've been considering to try the use a foot switch as a shift key.

The book "the paradox of choice" by barry schwartz touches the subject (among others) and is an interesting and entertaining read.

Having given it some thought, I think that leaks that shows disruption of democratic processes can be considered a 'worse nightmare'.

This could be election fraud, corrupt officials or some kind of shadow government.

Indeed, I think you're right. So far, the only justification we have in support of these programs is to protect from terrorism. If it can be shown that they were used to subvert democracy, there would be zero support left for them.

what are you trying to suggest?
