I don't know what state you're in, but as far as I know you can tell people (wife, boss) you are on a jury. Can't tell them for what. They don't make you just disappear. If this is sarcasm, bad attempt. If you're being serious, let's see a citation.
You bring up a good point that can be applied nearly globally. When American people complain about other countries, or other countries' people complain about America (or other countries), most often it is meant at the policies of the government (and in same cases companies that have a strong influence on the government) rather than the people. For example, the war in the middle east- what percentage of the US population has been wanting to pull our troops out for the past 3, 5, 7, 10 years? Yet somehow we still there, and still there, and...
Anyway, back to your point- most populations just want to do their thing and live their lives. It's the governments that want to get into everyones' grills and be jerks. And cellular and cable providers; they suck, too.
The only reason I have yet to upgrade is that I don't want an additional charge for data. I haven't looked around recently, but can you get a smartphone that does not require a data package? Or, I guess the more appropriate question would be a carrier that does not require a data package with a smartphone.
Sure, maybe farfetched considering how it worked, but maybe it was just some type of error. Wouldn't rank on my top 100 of weird shit that's happened to me. And no, I don't work for CNet or whoever. (Hell, I don't even have a job right now.)
To people who have to deal with **IA dumbass notices/suits. **AA- "We see that your stuffed monkey has download lots of stuff. Pay us $1 billion or we'll sue you for $75 trillion." Person- "Hey Watson, got some free time for some smack down?" Watson- "My pleasure."
Unless my data is on a non-networked machine stored in a locked filing cabinet in a basement closet with a sign on the door saying "Warning: Leopard inside," then no.
Day off? Vacation? One is a 2nd/3rd shift worker? Lunch time nap? Work/telecommute from home? Got off early? Oh my, people have different schedules! Hysteria!
Can't resist peeking into it. Kids into parents bedroom, neighbors into neighbors stuff, coworkers into other coworkers desks, boss into HR files, girl/boyfriend into your phone logs, wife/husband into your email, governments into anything they like, yada yada blah blah.
Not trying to be mean or anything, but if you just want to wander and see the "graphics," try going for a walk outside. Or take a trip to a new place. The real world is a real nifty place with lots of cool things to see. I've been on a 11,000 ft mountain top looking down at the clouds. I don't care how awesome the graphics on a screen are, nothing ever on-screen will replicate that.
You put your domain with a company because they have commercials with big boobs? If you want to "host" something, I'm sure it's more convenient and cheaper downtown.
First I can't go skiing, now I can't go snorkeling in the Caribbean. Next thing you know there are going to be Amish Corn Yeti wanting a piece of my hide. Forget "All your base are belong to us," it's going to be "All your asses are belonging to Yetis.":(

Change of venue is an option.

I'm taking a pic of a chicken riding a cow.
Got Milk? :D
Just stick Ron Jeremy into one of those outfits. Then no one can complain about anything "perfect." Forever. If they don't spontaneously combust.

If you use a TV instead of a monitor, science and computer stuff runs really, really fast.
"nerd up motherfucker."
You are my hero of the day.

I down with that.
Would have been worse if the guards just surrendered.

How about name something that was so profound and moving that it was absolutely critical that you see it. Ever.
Right?
So you haven't tried the 240Hz version yet? Man, you be missin' out.

That's why I followed up- get a lawyer first, then see what happens. I had the twitchy fingers on my first post. Then realized what you said.
