Do you know what the biggest indicator will be that they are not going to rely on the Desktop OS to be the cash cow?
If they release Office for Android.
If they do that then they will be admiting that Office is where they're going to make money and the OS will just be a secondary operation. The reason they are scared as crap to release Office on multiple platforms isn't because they can't do it, it's because they are scared of migration when Corporate Robots learn they aren't stuck with Windows to use their precious Excel documents.
I am trying to understand how this is different from the FTC's rule that you don't print advertisements in magazines that look like regular editorial content.
BULLSHIT! There are *no* protections for Corporations under the constitution. You should look it up. And while you're at it, look up the history of Corporate Personhood up too because you obviously don't understand it.
Corporations aren't mentioned in the constitution. Early U.S. corporations were extremely limited in power and weren't even allowed to own property that didn't immediately relate to their business. They weren't allowed to own other businesses or stock.
So what you are saying is complete bullocks that have been fed to you by your fellow corporate sycophants. Way to go. You're one of the sheep.
So there is no space between "no regulation" and "nanny state"? That's what you imply here, and that is how just about every regulation "debate" turns out these days.
If reducing the rights of patent (and other "IP") holders mean set them back to constitutionally intended levels, then hell yes I wan to reduce the rights of patent holders.
this is a constant red herring roadblock in these discussions.
It's also a false duality. There aren't many of us that want patents eliminated. There are a lot of us that want them scaled back enough so they are no longer used as weapons.
Obama is a bigger corporatist than Clinton was, and Clinton was more than Bush Sr.
Only Bush Jr. was a bigger corporatist.
We need to leave the left/right bullshit behind for a while while we make our country safe for democracy (democracy within a republic that is) again. The word of corporate entities mean a million times that of a constituent and that indicates a broken system.
The Average American (of which I am one) might be more productive, but all that productive work is putting money into the pockets of corporate masters. So not only are polluting, we're not even seeing the economic benefit of the pollution. So we aren't only killing ourselves, we've not even seeing the economic benefits we constant whine that we'll lose if simply do common sense measures.
It's high time the US population wake up and realizing everything being done is going to feed the corporate pig and that 99.999999% of us aren't millionaires in waiting. Our thinking is so screwed up that it's hard to pay attention to ANY political news and not get a headache from the cogitative dissonance we're forced to put up with day in and day out.
I'm not anti-US. I think our government is screwed up being overrun with morans that do nothing but cowtow to corporate interests but that's different than hating the country.
Slashdot Mirror
Look at this very thread.
It's fairly obvious where our values are placed in this country.
It's the best fictional account of the issue I've seen.
It's extremely funny that you would think that empty-suit Romney would be ANY different in this matter. There is no party differences on this one.
We didn't have that already?

Not even CLOSE to a troll.
Microsoft shills out in force on slashdot...

that was easy...
Then they are NOT constitutional rights.
That isn't what corporate personhood means. Good try.
corporatists want corporate anarchy. Any regulation is too much.
putting advertisement in as editorial content in print content is also considered unethical if not outright illegal.
He wants corporate anarchy.

Other than "...on a computer!" of course.

There is NOTHING that will convince me at this point in the game that corporations are run for stockholders in *any* way, directly or indirectly.
Kim Jung Il would like a word with you. I mean, it is called "Democratic People's Republic of Korea".
Everyone need to read (or reread) Kafka's "The Trial" *now*.
It's yet another civil right plopping down into the toilet.
I am an American, genius.
