What 'repruhsent' is referring to (and what I was about to comment about) is that the article should read:
"major impact on how people used the Internet." - The comma that is there right now is not only unnecessary, but actually completely incorrect. Try reading the sentence outloud, pausing at the comma. (Long enough to count to one.)
When I read a sentence like that, it makes me retch.
Additionally, there is the error at: "Fanning, the creator of Napster", which needs a comma after 'Napster'. It is not currently present.
I recommend (additionally) that some of these sentences be shortened, or separated into multiple clauses with the use of a semi-colon.
Additionally, I suggest reading "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" for more information (in an amusing medium) on the wonderful tool known as the comma.
I can't imagine that there is a way that this can actually stop anything. Laws and censorship never work in any country. What makes India different? And if not, why should cafe owners be forced to pay extra for filters?

I was informed today that there are, in the universe, approximately 10^450 subatomic particles in the world. A prime number of 6 million digits (6* 10^100000) cannot be possibly demonstrated in any real object.
I proceeded to calculate: Apparently the highest resolution for a monitor so far is 3840x2400 (Can anyone find higher?) and it would therefore take about 108506945 monitors of this resolution just to display 1 quadrillion pixels... (10^12).
Any thoughts?
