A return to serfdom.

Amidst the various stresses of returning to China, I am currently dealing with some changes that were made to Skype in my absence. Apparently, the Chinese government wishes to be able to spy on all Skype users through modifications made to the Chinese version of Skype. As I have the American version, I am no longer able to connect to Skype using my more secure version. I am now downloading--at molasses-slow rates--the new version.
