Birth certificates are something I've taken an interest in for a while, actually, and when I had the chance to meet kids in poor parts of Nairobi, for instance, I got a personal understanding of why it's so important. One question, though: skype? Does this mean you're back in Oz? I must be out of the loop. Mate, that is really good news.

Zynga, the company that makes a bunch of Facebook games that sells pixel objects for real money, is worth gazillions. iTunes is worth about as much as the planet. That's economic activity in the economist's sense. All those people buying hair dryers and skateboards online are keeping the transport industry happy. Scammers have to eat and pay rent too. They seem to be whining about the losers and ignoring the winners. Also, what happened to that golden rule about what the market will bear? It turns out that the market will not bear being ripped off if there's an alternative. Shock! Facebook is worth how much?
