Amd before you say it, yea, and it was all those liberals in the Clinton administration that caused the subprime crisis, mainly through selling mortgage to poor people and negros:)
I wouldn't bother engaging with anyone here. It's obvious a concerted effort to derail the discussion through irrelevances and personal abuse. Sad to see slashdot being reduced to hosting TROLLS.

I disagree. These mobile devices are useful when on the move but next to useless for doing real work. Even the iPhone crowd miss their QWERTY keyboard. I suppose the kids like mobile devices for checking up on their 500 Facebook 'friends'. For the rest of us we do have a real life with relationships with real people.
"The problem is that too many IT departments think their primary task is to control the network and IT resources without much regard paid to what other departments are trying to accomplish with those resources. IT too often thinks of itself as an end rather than a means. So it should surprise no one that many departments in many companies regard IT as a barrier to be worked around rather than a partner ready and willing to help."
No, the problem is that because the business 'leaders' fear being found out that they are largely clueless, they marginalize their own IT people. Instead they hire in consultants at great expense and impose some half-arsed 'solution' onto the company. Do any IT people here seriously consider they have any real input into company policy.

"How will the search company — or anyone else, for that matter — ever make much money from Android."
How about extorting revenue from the hardware manufacturers under threat of litigation. And then leaning on them to install Office, OneDrive and Skype on the devices. So somebody is making money out of Microsoft Android ©.
