I remember some years ago Google were annoyed with how service providers were charging to much for slow internet and threatened to make there own free version :-)
it's cost the UK taxpayer £12 Billion to host the Olympic games and they reckon they will make £13billion so only £1 billion profit and all this money they have used from Cuts making people unemployed which is counter productive to economics. The government should be keeping people in work not making more people poor and spending it on the Olympics if they want the economy to row raise employment and raise wages if people have money they spend it. All that being said i'am sure when it's over it will have been worth it to see a few people have a nice time winning medals that,s more important then people loosing houses and jobs.
