Why Microsoft Should Fear Bandwidth
Mike writes "Microsoft should fear increasing bandwidth to the consumer more than any other single factor as a threat to their monopoly. The average user has no desire to be the sysadmin of their machine(s), and telcos and cable companies would be glad to take this task from them -- for a nominal fee, of course, as application service providers. The PC as we know it probably only has a decade or so left."
so now a gay-ass blog entry will get you on the front pge of slashdot?!
these are dark days.
... fear astroturfing retards?
Alito: A vote for Alito is a punch in the eye to put that bitch back in her place!
Let's face it folks, big companies are running scared over the organization of the internet. It brings content of all sources, it links millions of people together that wouldn't know each other in any other circumstance.
This free society is something that the megacorporations can't stand. The reason, it breaks up their monopoly.
Billions of dollars a year are spent to keep us (the proles) entertained (I use that term loosely). The internet is the perfect place for independant authors, musicians, artists, and the average person to share their ideas.
These are the same companies lobbying for copyright laws, anti-piracy raids, and other laws pertaining to free speech, especially on the internet.
It's a sad sight when the average citizen will support their captors. Most people have never lived outside their mindcage long enough to realize that they are imprisoned by the media cartels. They will fight tooth and nail to protect their thoughts that were instilled by these same media moguls. The truth is that they are afraid to think for themselves. If they have to think for themselves then they could make a mistake and have nobody to blame for their actions besides theirself.
The media content whores want us to become centralized in a computer matrix so they can have a monopoly over content. At the same time drain our wallets like a leech on a festering wound.
The power is now in our hands, if we allow this to happen to ourselves, then you are at the mercy of the enemy. Just because some people will support it doesn't mean you have to.
