If you’re a fan of Google Chrome, the Chrome Web Store provides a similar range of options like productivity tools and applications to check the weather. In addition, just like iGoogle, you can personalize Chrome with a theme.
*sigh*
What's your daily amount of Google?
EDIT: Using NetVibes as alternative to iGoogle. I'm very pleased.
So what's there to do?
Well, boycotting a pending regulation won't do much, boycott the people and the companies generating those regulations. This is what I mean.
But wait, they don't have valid arguments for imposing Internet control, right? Wrong! Ongoing security concerns, break-ins, cyberterrorism, malware, child pornography, Anonymous striking everywhere. Wasn't the Internet intended to be a repository for information and services in the first place? All of this could sounds very convincing for a lawmaker.
How will they do it?
IP, DNS, URL, packet filtering
Connection reset / router cutoff
portal censorship (blocking sites from popular social networks and search engines)
DDoS
or just go for the classic approach -- censorship methods used with traditional media.
So how will the Internet look if it goes dark? Pretty dull, I'd guess.
