They are not free if they are to pay rent-extractors rather than producers to cover the actual costs of production" Comments Anuradha Roy | Main Point | 26 December 2012 Women in India's capital are routinely groped, harassed, leered at.

Written in light of the gang-rape of a female student in Delhi, who has now died Comments Izabella Kaminska | FT | 27 December 2012 "It is not that technology is stagnating, but that monopoly interests are sabotaging progress and efficiency. Because not doing so could lead to the sort of abundance that might make it impossible to monetise anything" (Free reg/$) Comments Charles Mann | Vanity Fair | 19 December 2012 Murder by smartphone: Hack the victim's pacemaker.
