north korea and the internet

The Economist, on North Korea and the internet: “Kim Jong Il, North Korea’s dictator, has interests in modern technology beyond his dabbling in nuclear weaponry. In 2000 he famously asked Madeleine Albright, then America’s secretary of state, for her e-mail address. Mr Kim believes there are three kinds of fool in the 21st century: smokers, the tone-deaf and the computer-illiterate.” Whatever, dudeā€”he hasn’t updated his livejournal in, like, seven months!
