They don;t ask for things because they have a lot of things you have to pay for, like food, social security (for any thing), education. All this for free, as they should be everywhere since they are basic for the growth of the society as a whole and for each individual.
They are pretty proud of what they have accomplished and they know they can be better, not by "catching up with the rest of the western world", but by being unique and stand in front of the western world as an example of common sense, human love and eagerness to be better everyday as a society, not as a selfish individual.
What makes you think Cuba doesn;t know what;s going on around the world? They do know, they do have access, though it is limited due to high cost and poor bandwidth of satellite internet. And this is because of US stupid, criminal embargo.
But still, they have access through educational institutions. They have prioritized internet access for education and social benefits. And even with full access they will show the rest of the world how to put the people as first priority instead of any other selfish reason.
They are great supportes of free software(of course, it's their best and only choice) and Cuba has a very strong, educated society(100%) and this will only help improve this.
Internet is not censored. They don't have google, why? Because Google is not allowed by the US to put their services for Cubans. That happens with everything: food, medicines, cars, money transfer... anything you can imagine(and some unimaginable things).
So this will help Cuba grow even more, have access to see why their fight was/is so important and how the rest of the world put people below other interests, which is pretty cruel.
So, I am pretty confident in Cuba's educated society that they will grow even more with this internet upgrade, and the world will be witness of what they are doing for themselves in terms of technology and society matters.
And also IntelliJ IDEA. The best IDE in my opinion. Of course... it is not free but it's really worth the money. check it out: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
CakePHP ( http://www.cakephp.org/ ) is a framework with all the advantages of ruby on rails, but using PHP as it's language. So is a very good option for every PHP programmer who wants order, flexibility and ease of use, avoiding repetitive tasks such as CRUD and the use of helpers (i.e Html forms, Ajax) to increment productivity and maintenance. As stated on their website: "Cake is a rapid development framework for PHP which uses commonly known design patterns like ActiveRecord, Association Data Mapping, Front Controller and MVC. Our primary goal is to provide a structured framework that enables PHP users at all levels to rapidly develop robust web applications, without any loss to flexibility."
For a nice introduction read the manual ( http://manual.cakephp.org/ ) and try the 15 minute blog tutorial, and for scripts, plugins, and a lot of community code try the bakery ( http://bakery.cakephp.org/ ).
Any programmer that wants Rails' advantages combined with PHP's flexibility, documentation, server support should try this.
