Why not funnel that energy into something more constructive like...say...competition? By the nature of all the anti-WalMart sites you reference, it's obvious there is a HUGE opportunity there for a competitor.
Did anyone ever think Vista might be late because the head of the program was trying (unsuccessfully) to some good: trim down the code/make it more secure/do good things vs. Microsoft's history of continually adding bloat?
I strongly believe there has to have been turmoil and much heated discussion over this; 40% larger code from one release to another would make anyone ill.
You must also say to yourself, Bill and Melinda Gates just donated $238 million to Malaria research. If making money is the only motivator, then how do you explain that move?
My point is that maybe Microsoft's bid to enhance privacy laws is as simple as it sounds: a good thing w/o the greed.
ReplayTVs suffer from none of the issues that the poster says plague the Tivo. Indeed soft PVRs may be helping to wipe out Tivos, but soft PVRs still got nothin' on ReplayTV!
As long as I'm paying the price I'm paying for VOIP now (read: inexpensive), I'm not going to complain; I'm going to use the technology to filter out the spam! Besides that, the tech will keep improving and will be light years ahead of anything regulation could provide.
I knew I had heard this somewhere: Arnold S. was originally being considered as the lead for a Doom movie. Too bad.... I think he would have been a better marine-like figure over Rock.
Since when is an animal's life as important as a human's? (Everyone's so violent! Kill him or her, man.....)
I don't understand how *we* are the cause of any species' destruction? Give me an example.
CFCs you say? Automobiles and hairspray? One volcano erupting spews more CFCs than mankind has throughout history.
Rainforest destruction and deforestation? We plant tenfold the trees we cut down. It's also a fact that twice the diseases COME FROM the rainforest than what we discover from the rainforest.
I'm not sure why humans are responsible. It's just natural course of evolution. I *wish* we had control over nature, but we don't.

Windows Vista, which has been a near-disaster for Microsoft.
Yes, if you consider selling 180 million copies a disaster.
The OP you are replying to has an implied, good, simple point: **perception is reality.** Intel is no longer the market leader they once were.
Exactly! It seems to me that the original poster would rather litigate than compete.
Yeah, just look at the miserable failure of ebay. :-)
Wow, all that hate and frustration.

So the myth is not true: Wal-Mart is NOT invincible and free markets WILL win out.

The industry needs to standardize or at least agree on an optimal number of cores. What good is 2, 3, n # of cores if software doesn't support it?

One source that talks about Arnie
The 4.1% increase is reflective of *recent* graduates only. The rest of us poor experienced scum suffer with a COLA raise if we're lucky!
I can't believe this hasn't already been posted -
How much will the subscription fees be, if anything, to play these "120 new Playstation 2 games with online compatibility" ?
This is what bothers me most about Xbox live - the monthly fees.
2. Find high moderated comments, and repost them.
3. Karmic Profit!!!
Buy a drive that supports both formats.
This has already been done for the 6800 series!
Wonder if it's been tested on the 6600 yet?
