  1. If you really want inovation on 'Break Up Google and Facebook If You Ever Want Innovation Again' (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Break up the patent and copyright monopolies. Google and facebook are not relevant to innovation they just take advantage of the inequitable distribution of IP rights.

  2. Well duh on HP Quietly Installs System-Slowing Spyware On Its PCs, Users Say (computerworld.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    It doesn't matter if its spying or not most 'value added' crap, computer manufacturers installs slows the computer. Rarely do they add to the performance of the PC. Hp printer installers are the worst for installing garbage you don't need.

    Why? Let fate sort it out. What I want to know is how this is going to prove anything. If only there were some sort of method or process by where he could express a theory and then test that theory and refine it until he could make a reproducible conclusion.

    He didn't die. He got a bonus and a photo shoot after he cashed out and left the company to die. He then went on to marry a super model and spends his time promoting his ghost written book about how to get rich and never take responsiblity for anything you do wrong.

  17. being completely with out on Why You Shouldn't Imitate Bill Gates If You Want To Be Rich (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    scruples didn't hurt. He had little problem with raiding others ideas and pushing them out of the market. Many of the things he did to get on top of the pile would be actionable today.

  20. The cause of this could be on Researchers Find Antidepressants Increase Risk of Death (medicalxpress.com) · · Score: 1

    While growing up most people learn, for better or worse to deal with their feelings and how to control the extremes. By changing your brains natural chemistry you will inevitably, in some people introduce a critically destabilizing change that sometimes causes the person to crash. I say this because it happened to me years ago when I worked for a not for profit mental health system. I was proscribed over the years several different types of antidepressants with very little in the way of real therapy. Some caused major mood swings that did nothing for my mental well being. I never caused harm to myself but I personally think these drug need to be more restricted and require more scrutiny by providers. This of course will never happen, until we stop taking money from these programs and increase the number of resources available to them. You don't let someone with cancer go without constant tests to assess the persons condition. In fact ignoring cancer in a child is a punishable offense but you're free to ignore their mental state.

    Shouldn't you be arrested for this level of breech. If you worked at a bank and it was robbed because the security guard always left a door unlocked that would be considered criminal.

  24. regulation is always bad for business on Equifax Lobbied For Easier Regulation Before Data Breach (wsj.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Its normally quite good for the public, though you couldn't convince them of that since they get their swill from big media.
