    That's an awful lot of spin. Apple pushed an experiment on publishers, one they were mostly loathe to embark upon, and did much to try and make a failure.

    Understand the difference between a Technology, a Device, a Product, and a MARKET.

    When you grasp these dimensions, you will understand what it is I have said, and argue with me on the merit of the position, not your false assumption.

    The Apple market for product was as much content distribution network, as device. They built a market out of emerging movement like Napster and iRiver players.

    No one else had done anything like it, and Apple were challenged for doing t - on almost every front, if you recall.

    Microsoft deserves to fail on MERITS, not price manipulation.

    I understand what you're saying, but where would we be without Party wealth? I've made my entire fortune by working for the Party. I have the house I do because of the Party. The food I eat comes from the Party and is paid for by the money I make working at a Politboro branch, as are the clothes I wear and the cars I drive. Without the Party, we'd still be riding horses and eating dung for dinner.

    My ancestors rode hoses, and ate deer. Cimmerians and Scythians and Igbo.

    And the same thing happened in the Dem Convention, on the vote to include "God" and "Jerusalem" language in the Israel plank.

    They f*cked Villaraigosa on that! He had to call the vote 3 times. It never passed, and then the board showed it with a big majority, while he sputtered at the podium.

    Even the QUESTIONS are lies.

    "The main issue of security for the United Sates is Iran..."

    The main issue of security is the outright theft of all meaningful government and control of public discourse by oligarchal, corporate wealth. And the creation of the largest, enslaved incarceration population in world history.

    But these two puppets are already OWNED.
