U.S. Loses Top Spot in Global Tech Study
Mar 28 11:41 AM US/Eastern
By BRADLEY S. KLAPPER
Associated Press Writer
GENEVA (AP) - European countries and Singapore have surpassed the United States in their ability to exploit information and communication technology, according to a new survey.
The United States, which topped the World Economic Forum's "networked readiness index" in 2006, slipped to seventh. The study, out Wednesday, largely blamed increased political and corporate interference in the judicial system.
The index, which measures the range of factors that affect a country's ability to harness information technologies for economic competitiveness and development, also cited the United States' low rate of mobile telephone usage, a lack of government leadership in information technology and the low quality of math and science education.
But Thierry Geiger, one of the Forum's economists responsible for the 361-page report, said the U.S. market environment remains the best in the world in terms of how easy it is to set up a business, get loans and have access to market capital.

Then hush and keep staring at that piece of crap on your shiny new machine.
I'll be over here looking at my most beautimous Beryl display and completely customizable Gentoo install.
