Starting this past May or so, many Gmail users received a new "Attach Money" option that lets them send money through a Gmail email. It's integrated with their Google Wallet, which stores credit card info and uses that for payment. You can see more details at:

I saw the "attach money" option appear just last month for me, while composing a new email. It seems a lot more convenient than registering for a new Square account and using their strange "subject and cc" method. I'd expect the Gmail version to be much more likely to catch on than this Square one.
They've has picked the wrong point. The lesson to be learned from the unfounded news posting should not have been that the internet needs less freedom. It should be that you shouldn't trust unconfirmed website posts you read online.
People need to learn to not trust every rumor they read from stupid hoax chain mails and random web postings. And this goes for not just online, but for all aspects of life. You have to learn how to analyze what you hear and read, and decide for yourself what to trust and believe. Not that the government needs to filter all communication that may reach you, in order to ensure it is a "truth" that you should believe.
But of course, with a dictator like Chavez, what other reaction would you expect?
Sure, we could try our astroid-moving theories out on a few practice meteors! And then find out when they work, we've accidently changed their path towards a collision course to Earth.
