Here are some of Ballmer's comments from a conference call with analysts:
* "We think we have taken the right degree of action in terms of reducing the cost base."
* "We are taking out somewhere between 5 percent and 15 percent of the cost line... which we think, in this environment relative to the reset in the economy, is probably the right level."
* "Our model is not for a quick rebound (in PC sales)."
* "If the economy stays down and then builds slowly, we are probably at about the expense base... You can't tell. The economy could also get a whole lot worse."
They also said they are no longer going to provide earnings/profit estimates.
In other words, they have no clue how bad they are going down.

Even reporters have forgotten what it means to be a reporter. At least KO won't bury the story.

This is a good thing.
Bingo!
It does not matter the name,
if software executes beyond user control.
Auto-run, auto-play.
It should be called Auto-Blackmagic.
We try.
Exactly. This is not news to nerds, but it is stuff that matters.
Not yet.
This definitely sounds of firmware bloat,
and the resultant problems due to complexity.
Why, I remember, back in the day, when I could
easily separate the media from the electronics.
Head go bad? Move the media to another drive.
In seconds.
Yes, it wasn't the fastest to access, but it
was reliable, and if you encountered problems,
not that difficult or time-consuming to recover.
The greatest danger was dropping the media
and bending the media making it really bad
to put into a drive.
If you don't know what I'm talking about,
you are young and inexperienced.
RIAA appeals ruling.
May?
Are you sure it's not already in place?
When you throw a net over a net,
the top net can control the lower net.
Funny how I got a Flash ad thrown my way when I visited the link.

It is not over. It is just starting.
Even cheney says gitmo is a good place and should not
be shut down.
Hopefully he can spend the rest of his life there
if he is not hung for treason.
Assumes facts not in evidence.
We don't know if bush did not get a blowjob.
They are not written by Congress, and the
Constitution says that Congress shall write the laws.
Since Congress did not write the signing statement,
the signing statement means absolutely nothing.
Signing statements are bullshit and an attempt to
con the public into letting a corrupt president
subvert the Constitution and the Rule of Law.
If you believe signing statements mean anything,
then you do not respect the Constitution and the
Rule of Law, and you are an idiot like bush.
It is only a matter of time and the Judiciary
to make my point clear to the public and to
the Executive branch.
And it was just a demo.
Until the user screws up again.
Most of the battle is educating the users how to keep themselves clean.
Nothing more. Just viral marketing.
Yeah, right.
Magic Roundabout
You betcha!
So, it is supposed to be tracking the travelers but S^HDHS
is getting IP address information when a flight is booked.
So, if the traveler cancels, what was the point of getting the IP?
And if the traveler had a travel agent book the flights, how
would having their IP help?
Are they really design flaws? Or was this actually by design, and now the backdoor method has been discovered?

I'll bet he has always assumed he already was wiretapped.
Which trial are you referring to? There are multiple cases still pending.
