Mod parent up.
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
One less brand to ever appear on my shopping list.

Try taking them off your shopping list.
The real bad guys are the US Chamber of Commerce. The take money from Big companies, like Microsoft, and funnel it to organizations that bribe and Elect Judges to rule in the Company's favor and The CoC funnels that money to Ads that mostly push Propaganda lies to elect Corrupt Officials. Why do you think there are caps on jury payouts to victims?. So Big Business can make more money and give you less if you are injured at their fault.
Now it's Arbitrary Agreements, they will not stop until they can get away with Murder and wipe their ass with your Bill of Rights and Constitution. And YOU are the one giving them the money to do these things by buying their products. You contribute to your own demise, with a smile on your face and Ear buds in your Ear and Gasoline in your ride.
Stop paying people to take away your rights. If you look, with Software Patents and such, they are fighting each other now; you all better pray that they destroy each other. Better them, than us, we can rebuild.
