Tim Berners-Lee recently called on the internet to adopt a bill of rights for the world wide web. It sounds wonderful in theory, but here is why it will never work, and why that's okay. "Know your rights. These are your rights, all three of them!"

Banks, storing your money on Windows XP since 2001.
