    Since the beginning of time all committes etc have been used as a way to abuse power.

    The FDA, who supposedly protects the US's food and health, will say a Mac and fries == two serves of vegetables (potatoes & tomatos used in the ketchup). EPA gets lobbied to hell by SUV vendors. Congress get fscked up by Christian campaigners.

    Why be suprised when Microsoft or Intel or whatever contorts USB, networking specs,... to their advantage.
