Microsoft Calls for National Privacy Law

tabdelgawad writes "Brian Krebs, who writes the Washington Post's Security Fix Blog notes that Microsoft has just asked Congress to enact a new federal privacy law to preempt the growing hodge-podge of state laws that regulate how companies can use personal information. Go Microsoft!?"

    The problem with Microsoft is that the Federal Justice Department says their evil. The innovations that Microsoft has brought to the market place have come at the price of being convicted a thief, and a cheat; These are not trivial accusations. I guess maybe that's why I'll never be a Billionaire; For me, good products, and good customer service without compromising ethics is still important.

    Have you ever noticed that the crappiest place of all--Africa--is surprisingly short on sweatshops and surprisingly long on ex-vassal states of failed Industrial Age European Empires? What's up with that?

    Commercialization of the Internet leads down the road to endless spam, ads, advertising masquerading as software, software masquerading as advertising, ADS, ADS and more ADS!

    The Internet is reserved for people that understand that the whole world isn't driven by business. Once all commercialization on the Internet is squashed, Email will become useful once again, there will be no more spyware and all web content will be free again.

    Where have you been?
