ARM: The Non-Evil Monopolist
yootje writes "ZDNet is running an article about ARM, a chip-maker who controls more than 80% of the cell phone market and 40% of the digital camera market. ARM shipped 780,000,000 processors last year. ZDNet finds it strange that no one seems to have anything against this company. And maybe it is strange: according to the article many would say ARM is a monopolist, but you never hear anyone say 'ARM sucks!'. But then again, why would they?"

We all know that you posted that AC comment.

Can't slashdot readers take critisim and self-reflection? He is only stating facts.
It is easier to critise than to construct, and many in this forum are guilty of that.
PS, You can send me one of those gmail thingees if you have any left (mark99 aaattt gmx dot net)
Please send me one invite. passionplay at hotmail dot com

It becomes something to hold against someone when they start using that success to prevent others from succeeding. (As opposed to using the skills and effort that led to their original success to prevent others from succeeding.)
Congratulations. That was a nice piece of social engineering.
So what are you going to do with your list of slashdot subscribers' e-mail addresses? I bet many spammers will be interested in such a profiled list...
I don't understand what's all the fuss about.
That's why we get taxed so that the people who're less well-off have access to fundamental services such as health-care, education and welfare if they hit hard times.
Being poor, stupid, incompetent or having many kids is not a crime. It doesn't make your life any less worthy than that of a CEO or a university professor.
It's barbaric to whine about your taxes when there are people around who don't have food, shelter or even access to the most rudimentary health care. Shame on you!
Looks like I'm to late 4 this , but try anyway!! pglennon at mailcity dot com. Thanx P
the only place where "deregulation" = MORE government control (and the usual feigned-SHOCK! when there's fraud on the scale of Enron, etc.).
Look, the media are being TOTALLY DISHONEST when they call California's recent political-criminality "deregulation," CATO and various other thinktanks have proved it without serious intellectual rebuttal from the left, yet the biased news media (and therefore YOU, sorry to rant but it's true!) call it "deregulation." Jimmy Carter deregulated airlines (now we can fly cheap!) and deregulated home-beer brewing (now we can brew good beer at home!) but what Grey Davis did is NOT deregulation, it's CRIME!
Deregulation means free markets -- something California hasn't been accused-of under Grey Davis, who fucked it up enough that Ahnold sounds smart.

Please help me to understand why you're willingly giving away your e-mail address to a complete stranger who's obviously making an offer that's too good to be true?
He's just harvesting a list of Slashdot readers' e-mail addresses and you just gave him yours, you silly git.
No, you are fundamentally wrong in your assumption. Taxes are not meant to re-distribute wealth; they are for essential services such as defense of the country and major infrastructure.
Barring mental or physical problems, your lot in life is because of the choices you've made. That's not my fault and you don't have the right to the fruits of my labor to pay for your mistakes. I don't mind helping anybody out enough to get them on their feet again, but I didn't take you to raise and support the rest of your life.
You sound quite socialist to me. Don't you know that socialism has failed every single time it's been tried? It takes away a person's ambition to better himself.
Hillary is a socialist; she's a liar, and even her feet don't match.
Do the right thing. Register and VOTE Republican Nov. 2nd.

No, you are fundamentally wrong in your assumption. Taxes are not meant to re-distribute wealth; they are for essential services such as defense of the country and major infrastructure.
And you are fundamentally wrong in your assumption that your view of what taxes are is the only one, or even the biggest one.
The view of people who support taxes as wealth redistribution mechanisms, is that everybody should get an equal or adequate opportunity in life. If you screw it up, fine, your fault, but if you are born in a poor family and you can't afford the education which would get you a decent job, the transportation which would get you to that job, or the outfit which would keep you that job, that's not your fault, and it's the government's job to rectify that situation.
Your view that poverty is a moral failing shows that you have never known real poverty.
You sound quite socialist to me. Don't you know that socialism has failed every single time it's been tried? It takes away a person's ambition to better himself.
Modern socialism is not incompatible with capitalism. It is simply the effort to give everyone an adequate opportunity in life. The old socialism was a mechanism to achieve communism, and you are right in claiming that communism has always failed. You don't seem to understand what modern socialists want. They think the market is generally a good thing, but that it inherently funnels money to those who already have it, decreasing the quality of life of those who don't, and so there must be some sort of compensating system to make sure everyone gets a fighting chance at living a good life.
I don't like the idea of referring to men as "she", any more that I like the idea of referring to apples as oranges or to morons as geniuses (or vice versa). If you have the Y chromosome, you are a HE... no amount of makeup, lipstick, or surgery will change that, imo. Parent was modded as a troll due to PC.
