So I'm enjoying my blank page because for some reason this free and open internet is not accessible and requires several scripts to display simple html.

Posting about a free and open internet on a website which is paid for by ads and with closed content is kinda ironic but it makes a strong point about google's credibility.

Make no mistake, they're defending their business model and profit which happens to be based on internet being sort of free and kinda open.

I believe it's worse than that.

Since as long as I remember and probably even before that, when explaining networking to executives, marketing and other technically challenged people, we use drawings. In these drawings the part representing the internet is for some reason drawn as a cloud, probably to convey that some magic we don't want to get into the deatils happens there.

Now you've got it, the cloud, a.k.a. the internet symbol for ignorant people.

I don't care why, as I browse with javascript disabled I just end up on a blank page and move on to something else.

I suggest both you readers and users of blogspot do the same.
