An all-hands-on-deck meeting just to hear Meg Whitman recite her version of Hamlet's soliliquiy? Leo Apotheker must be cackling loudly while counting his golden parachute lucre.
However, this sordid affair does prove there is no afterlife, as evidenced by the fact neither Hewlett nor Packard have come back to strangle everyone at HP HQ that's wearing a suit.
If they have a valid claim, Microsoft should not be allowed to hide it under a blackmail-as-nda bushel basket. If they do have something valid, I suspect it is very trivial to work around and they know it. Hence their wisper campaign against Linux / Android whilst steadfastly refusing to show actual proof.
And when did Brinksmanship become an acceptable / legal business practice? Perhaps it was part of the Supreme Court horseshit decision about Corporate Personhood...
Practically zero environmental requirements. As long as the slav^H^H^H^H workers and local residents don't die in noticeable numbers, you can do whatever you like (apart from paying the requisite local government bribes).

we're about two years from the first lawsuits against these printing service for IP violations. Let's say you break a plastic bracket on your ten-year old car and instead of paying say $80 for one from the dealer, you have one reproduced for half that. Oh, There Will Be Blood. Once these 'printing houses' are shut down, the machines themselves will be impossibly expensive as they will have a five-figure cost added on for licensing fees. Once again, the blood-sucking corporations will make sure the future stays uncool.
Remember that libraries are not free, in fact you subsidize them with your property taxes
Meaning if the GOP gains the White House and Senate again, damn near every US library will be bulldozed and the land sold to real estate developers. An ignorant public is a controllable public (this also explains their desire to destroy effective (read: funded) public education).
I once asked a vendor visiting from Norway (he grew up in England and emigrated many years ago), what type of voting machines they use. He replied with a quizzical look: "Paper".
Everyone advocating any sort of e-voting or use of electronic machines have agendas - none of which are related to free and fair elections.
They don't give a crap about any other human being on the road
This also aptly describes the assholes that pass not one car when there is finally an opening, but THREE OR FOUR at time, not even knowing or caring what lies ahead of the slow vehicle. *This* is what gets people killed, but based on your tone, I suspect you also dabble in the fine sport of being ahead of everyone else.
Past a certain point, aren't most uber-computers just going to end up being used to institute and maintain tyranny (aka death of privacy) - if not by Fatherland Security, then by corporations (assuming these will remain two separate entities)? Careful what you wish for, qubit-wise.
We all know everyone in Cupertino down to the dog catcher was terrified of Steve Jobs getting pissed off and moving his giant filthy lucre machine. He could have shot a nun in the face inside Cupertino City Hall and there would have been no witnesses.
As stupid as it sounds, don't do it during the US holiday months (November, December) or during March Madness. First week of January might be good, as people will be pissed off about the weather and their Christmas bills.
I think this works in countries like Finland for one main reason: Ethnic Non-Diversity. Everyone looks the same and has the same basic ancestry, so there wasn't any history of Exploit/Hate/Persecute The Others and the lingering after-effects. As heartbreaking as it is, elightened quasi-soclialism will never work in multi-cultural societies because of the differences and the cynical exploitation of those differences by the Sons of Machiavelli.

Given they have a caretaker government?

I just hope they sent a copy to the EU Competition Committee, as jack-shit will be done by USFedGov.

I can only imagine the bushel-baskets of false positives this cash-grab fiasco will generate. But they'll just make even more lucre trying to fix it.
There are some chillingly anti-human corporations out there; ADM is one; Raytheon is another.
took to suing everyone they could that dared to try building a plane, resulting in the US Army Air Corps having to use european planes in WWI.
