Did anyone else note the similarity with Vernor Vinge's excellent fiction 'A Fire Upon the Deep' and that headline? I guess it is going to be one of the metrics of civil war state if the country's Internet connectivity begins to fluctuate.
Actually came here to the comments to say exactly this. Will be interesting to see if the Syrian government has people pretend to be free citizens go online and post to say "hey don't worry about what you read in the newspapers. Everything is great here."
