Google's new browser will do everything including making you a cup of tea. This is all paid for by personally-directed text ads in your tea leaves, based on analysing a DNA sample taken when you sip the tea and sending your genetic code back to Google for future targeting.

Microsoft Japan is already actually paying people to take the machines, with little success. "We hope more people will be able to enjoy Xbox 360," said marketing marketer Takashi Sensui, "and we can stop enjoying quite so many of them. We also have this fine pile of HD-DVD drives... Wait! Come back!"
The browser is irrelevant to applications!

Microsoft was unfazed. "Browsers donâ(TM)t need to be integrated with online apps," said marketing developer Ian Moulster. "Certainly not like the operating system... Iâ(TM)ll just get back to you."
Godson is a MIPS-compatible. We've already seen one MIPS-based Linux netbook. And guess what, Linux is identical on MIPS and x86!
Any MIPS or ARM at a given price point will run cooler and faster than x86. All x86 processors are RISC with an instruction converter front end, but that's still enough of a liability to make the first sentence true.
End game: Netbooks with ARM or MIPS spread upward to desktops and servers with ARM or MIPS. x86 finally fades away of software that doesn't care. All hail.

"We are so, so happy with Google Chrome," mumbled Mozilla CEO John Lilly through gritted teeth. "That most of our income is from Google has no bearing on me making this statement."
Google's new browser will give you their web and email services, photo processing, mapping, office applications that will run in said browser and will make you a cup of tea. This is all paid for by personally-directed text ads in your tea leaves, based on analysing a DNA sample taken when you sip the tea and sending your genetic code back to Google for future targeting.
This sort of thing is huge in the news in the UK at present, and the general public are very very p*ssed off by it. So it's quite understandable someone taking this straight to the press.
Srsly, the Information Commissioner is getting very shitty about this sort of thing and seriously talking about prosecuting government departments (i.e., senior civil servants) for data breaches. You can be sure a few private companies will make good notches on his Clue Gun.
The Economist ran a report pointing out that companies had whined at length about how Sarbanes-Oxley was crippling their business, but they did an investigation and found that the companies in question were doing as well as before or better.
(The Economist is absolutely gung-ho to the point of stupidity about free markets, so I don't think they have some sort of corporate agenda in saying so.)
The whole point of exporting Intellectual Property through trade agreements and so on is to own the brains of the poorer countries - recolonise them without having to actually maintain force of arms there.

Not evil!

I'd think not. If you bought a computer and it was full of MP3s and movies you wouldn't suddenly own that data!
In the UK, of course, the government distributes your information to everyone by USB key ;-)

It's such a pity they do it using people with a different personality disorder ...

I'm sure Rudyard Kipling would have called it "the corporate man's burden." It's for their own good, I'm sure.
Sorry, that first link is to a dupe in the firehose queue - the actual Slashdot story that ran on Friday is here.
What the UK needs is for the government to get the bill for breaches ;-)
Seriously, the Information Commissioner has actually served enforcement notices on the most incompetent departments and the Conservative opposition has called for prosecutions.
... maybe.
Well, okay, I mean anyone could just read what the article says.
By which I particularly mean, the bloody awful media coverage of science.
And did you see that list? Nitrous oxide is on there. WTF? Whipped cream causes cancer, then?
According to the media, everything causes and cures cancer.
