You let cool reverse engineer you.
What an unfortunate name for a product.

" When it comes to content, I much rather rely on the editorial board of the New York Times for my news, than what my “friends” find interesting. "

Relying on strangers for information while deriding one's peers as a source of information doesn't strike me as a wise course of action.

Ubuntu One, while not possessed of all the bells and whistles that Apple likes to hang on things, has already been hard at work in the cloud.
To be honest, Cohen sounds envious of the early adopters.
The best part of the article: "The music industry has seen its domestic revenue plunge by more than half in 10 years, from $15 billion to $7 billion..."

Bitcoin accounts can't be frozen. Do you understand how bitcoin works?

Modern day fractional reserve currency is THE main tool being used to enforce our current servitude, a servitude that most people are unaware that they're in. Running into our fourth or fifth generation of inherited servitude makes it difficult for people to recognize their condition.

What is it said by Goethe?:

"None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free."

Longterm economic servitude under the rule of banking-government complex has a small chance to be broken with this tool. Recall that the shortsighted among us also were fussing and fuming when email went from being in the domain of academic geeks to the unwashed masses.

Some people just dislike change for the better, I guess.

To answer your question: yes.

Predictable. The IMF has a long history of raping nations too.
