This.
The IAPA is just a CIA-funded lobby organization formed by all the Latin American right wing print media owners (that 1300 newspaper thing on the Wikipedia article is misleading, since it represents just a couple of monopolic media groups per country).
They are the Fox News of Latin America, operating from the US.
I think that their biggest fear apart from the supposed traffic (and revenue) loss is the archival capacity of Google, since with an external site linking to their news content it's harder for them to control the way they show the news (and the possibility of modifying archive media).
You just quoted papers which agreed to publish the less embarrasing parts of the very same Wikileaks/US Govt reports Assange leaked, trying to show that website as a 'idle gossip' depot when in reality the things to be found are way more sinister.
So yes, the news items you posted are really biased and not to be trusted.
basically
Correa might not be a kindred spirit, but how the central powers (and the western media) represent the state of free speech in Latin America in general is way too negatively biased to be reliable.
Have you even read any of the cables? 'boring diplomatic gossip' is the only stuff the mainstream media wanted to publish, there's more interesting stuff there like Shapiro's involvement on the 2002 Chavez coup d'etat, smear campaigns to Ullanta Umala and Rafael Correa, and so on and so forth...
I have a set of MDR-7506s (same as the V6). They are great, and there are no better set of cans for twice the price. They still use them in EVERY SINGLE sound recording studio around the world, so that may be for a reason...
I'd stretch to 70ish bucks and grab a pair of these - pro quality and sound in an affordable price (at $75 right now in Amazon).
Paraphrasing Commodore:
"You can't buy a better headphone set at twice the price."
Expanding on this (with my real id)
The Staedtler-Stiftung and Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung foundations own all shares of their respective companies, are quite large, and seem to have some sense of social responsibility which would be nice to see on other corporations...
You get an OPTICAL viewfinder with a SLR, be it film or digital. This means you have no LCD lag when you do the framing so it's more suited to action than LCD viewfinders. The SLR system is the only way to have a viewfinder of the exact framing the picture will have without any lag at all.
Also the AF sensors and the photometer are of a better quality and generally a lot faster than the ones on a point-and-shoot. Actually most pocket cameras don't even have optical AF sensors and just focus using the LCD image as a reference. This is much much slower and less accurate. So again, this is more suited for action than a pocket camera.
When you actually USE a DSLR for a few days, even a low-end one, you begin to see all the advantages. I finally switched to a DSLR about 6 months ago (after years of pocket digitals and a couple of film SLRs), and besides the bulk I wouldn't trade it for any pocket camera ever again.
I still have my Amiga 500, with a 428Mb Seagate IDE HD and 12 Mb of RAM, complete with its external 3.5" Commodore Amiga 1011 floppy drive. It runs AmigaOS quite nicely as well. I DDed the HD into a file in my PC so now I can fully emulate this computer with UAE exactly as I had it back in '94.
I've been using my Commodore 1084s PAL RGB 14" monitor with my PS2 with a special RGB adapter I built (very crisp image:). But this monitor died last month.
I also have a C64c and C128 lying around, with a Commodore Datasette and Commodore 1571 5.25" drive.
1. i've been using ubuntu since 6.06 and that (the grub menu getting bricked) never happened to me), neither by clicking on the orange icon nor by a command-line 'apt-get dist-upgrade'
it didn't fail once in any of my three ubuntu boxes or my two debian boxes (the automatic menu.lst update worked flawlessly for me since debian 3.1)
2. the menu.lst file has special commented sections to add all the customizations you want which will be added automatically to all kernel options when you run grub-update (i have set the text mode consoles on my main debian box with framebuffer video this way, and never lost the config. in any kernel upgrade)
i think you were a victim of a very broken installation (missing or corrupted files maybe?)...

The Open PS2 Loader also supports SMB shares, and memory card emulation.
