I have yet to determine which is worse for me,
booting a machine with a rootkit, or booting Windows.
Can you explain how one is better than the other?
Why should I trust one over the other?
Microsoft does not care about fines as long as they are within the acceptable 'cost of doing business'.
In other words, they will sacrifice billions now

when they can tax everyone to pure slavery/near death.
This is how the corrupted by money brain operates.
Never mind that is actually makes no long term sense.
In a corrupted by money brain, greed overrules everything. Nothing else matters. It is an addiction

Exactly. And I believe the ARM hardware vendors are balking
at this 'requirement' called Secure Boot, the entire premise of
which is a malware problem that was created by MS in the first place.
Since the hardware guys are fighting this, MS came out with
their vapour product called Surface, it an attempt to coerce them
into accepting the bribe^W marketing money.
It is all about killing your freedom to tinker on hardware
you bought.
In case you have not been paying attention, there are players that have come up with "solutions"(some of the legal variety), to "manage" the problems (spam and malware) that
they allowed to get out of hand in the first place.
This was how the project got off the ground.
If it was expected to last 10 years, the budget would have

the project.
Leave the techs alone, and good stuff happens.

Then you can run cXXX. Oh wait, some new tld owner would sue.
Plus the speculators have given up.
Article is misdirection. If you can not figure it out, you have not been paying attention.
They got the no patent infringement part correct. One out of three is not bad. Ask Albert.
It will be difficult to work around the bugs.
How many app stores are there outside of Android?

Venting. Pre-departure preparations. Don't worry, you have years before they leave.
They are lucky if they can sustain 100% of their theoretically viable signal at every possible location in their network. Oh wait, they can' t.

"FORMER" Google Exec getting paid to spread misinformation.
Not purely public knowledge, known in military circles and other groups that monitor satellite intel.
It is easier and cheaper just to con sheeple into paying for the phone. They will keep it charged so the spying package works properly.
