  1. Scores of complaints from Google rivals on Google Could Face a $9 Billion EU Fine For Rigging Search Results In Its Favor (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    "The European Commission's decision will come after a seven-year investigation into the world's most popular internet search engine was triggered by scores of complaints from both U.S. and European rivals." Most of who are fronting for the Microsoft organization. You don't have to look far to find the Micrsoft connection:

    CompTIA

    Computing Technology Industry Association

    Initiative for a Competitive Online Marketplace (ICOMP)

    "If anything, it's click-bait to get the angry dweebs to come in and foam at the mouth angrily over their 20-years outdated Microsoft hatred."

    "That ever since the 80s, those copper lines simply plug into a digital phone switch anyway?"

    And the problem isn't the Internet but the defective hardware plugged in at either end. The main problem being Microsoft Windows running on Intel hardware. 'The Mitre Corporation' are these the people that recommended Homeland security run on Windows :)

  6. Critical infrastructure and converged IP networks on Experts Call For Preserving Copper, Pneumatic Systems As Hedge For Cyber Risk (securityledger.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    'The MITRE Corporation, note that critical infrastructure is increasingly run from converged IP (Internet Protocol) based networks that are vulnerable to cyber attack'

    Listen up children and I'll tell you the solution. The solution is to not run your critical infrastructure on converged IP based networks. I presume converged is a code-word for 'cloud'. And if the NSA hadn't acted to dilute security on the Internet, these networked devices wouldn't be so easy to attack.

    No they didn't, the entire story is a propaganda piece to distract us from the fact that anyone and his dog can hack your Windows computer.

    "The story told by American officials, cyberexperts .. was a useful reminder that as effective as cyberattacks can be in disabling Iranian nuclear plants, or Ukrainian power grids, they are no silver bullet."

    Do you have to repeat this cyber bullshit on this technology site?

    'One of my favorite is PX00307 [groklaw.net]. Notice that it is about "PM vs. Windows" as it was about API calls only, which was the wrong way to make the decision.'

    See here someone trying to revise history to show Microsoft in a more favourable light: "For Microsoft, the development of Presentation Manager was an opportunity to clean up some of the design mistakes of Windows" ref

    Also get a load of the weasle words where they try and excuse the historically horrible track record regarding Windown NT and security: "Windows NT and its successors .. were not initially designed with Internet security in mind as much, since, when it was first developed in the early 1990s, Internet use was less prevalent." ref
