"Google... can't be bothered to check apps for malware..."
To me, that seems evidence that Google is very poorly managed. Android became the foundation of a HUGE amount of abuse. Why? Doesn't anyone at Google realize the company is self-destructive?
"Windows 10 Could Automatically Uninstall Buggy Windows Updates."
Judging from past experience, there is probably a hidden reason: Microsoft will have even MORE control over customer's computers. That will make "buggy updates" financially important to Microsoft. Microsoft wants permission not only to install software, Microsoft wants full control, apparently.
Portland, OR city managers who have never been outside during the day may find this surprising:
There is this huge thing called the Sun. It emits ALL wavelengths. Cell phone towers limit their radiation because they don't want to interfere with the next "cell".
Bill Gates still runs Microsoft: Two years ago, during a Jan. 17, 2017 discussion with Charlie Rose, Bill Gates said he spends "15 percent" of his time managing Microsoft. I interpreted that to mean that Gates is still extremely involved and very influential. Did Gates want the mess that is Windows 10?

"Bill Gates: I'm there about 15 percent of the time. And I get to work just on the R and D part, brainstorming with people, thinking, OK, how are we going to take this artificial intelligence and make it understand, help you use your time better. It's a very exciting time in software. There's five companies that are, you know, in a really strong position. Microsoft is leading in some really cool stuff so --"
It seems obvious that Bill Gates still has a huge amount of overall influence on the management of Microsoft, even if he mostly focuses on other subjects.
Lately, Windows users are not allowed to know what Windows updates actually do. In the past, for example, users were pushed to Windows 10, without giving their permission. So, now Windows 7 customers will be paying for updates that may be abusive.
Some of the many stories about Windows 10 indicate deliberate abuse of customers:
I get the impression that Boeing is insufficiently managed. Partly, there is a lack of sufficient social cohesion, in my experience. Sometimes Boeing people act robotically, in some ways, and that prevents the wisdom that comes from everyone supplying their best ideas.
I've been exploring helping Boeing with its purchase of 80% of Embraer, a Brazilian aircraft manufacturer. There are huge cultural differences between the U.S. and Brazilian cultures. People with whom I work and I could help the management of the purchase operate smoothly.
Having poor quality software makes more money for Microsoft!

The complete picture: It seems to me that there are many areas in which Amazon is badly managed.
I've seen many misleading items on Amazon. For example, this King Size 100% Cotton Sheet Set was advertised as costing $7.45. On Amazon it says "+ $11.55 shipping". The true cost with shipping is $19.
The top reviews say that the sheets are NOT cotton.
The original reason for DST: Stores and parks did not want to change the signs that said when they would open, but they wanted to be open during daylight. However, this history does not mention that: Daylight Saving Time history.
That joke is in the direction of indicating the true underlying craziness of the topic.
More than 30 years ago, while backpack traveling outside the U.S., I became friends with a medical doctor. She gave me a book to read that said, "In Italy, feminism is pro-woman. In the U.S., feminism is anti-male."
That seems correct to me. To me, women in the U.S. seem to make themselves unhappy. It amazes me that women in the U.S. don't realize that being anti-male will make themselves unhappy.
Yesterday, I had a first conversation, by telephone, with a Brazilian woman who is in Brazil. She was very happy.
Many people over 40 were raised without computers. Often they don't realize how ignorant they are. But often they feel comfortable having strong opinions.
