A very recent Israeli television commercial for an internet service provider has been broadcasted during the writing of this column. The commercial, offering us the opportunity to hook up all the computers in the house to the internet, shows two young kids. One seems to be in complete command of lots of factual trivia, while the other seems to not know anything. The "know-it-all" kid, however, tells us quite authoritatively that our solar system has nine planets. Are we to infer from this that the internet connection in his house is a bit slower than advertised?
