Of course this is tarnishing google's image. This is basically the same thing that has happened to every single search engine. Yahoo was a great search engine in its time. They started getting millions of hits a day, and they decided to sell space on the site. Then, yahoo sold ranking on the engine, and you start having skewed results. Finally, People stop coming because of the pop-ups and bad search results. This isn't a great position for google.
This is reminiscent of the Microsoft Monopoly Lawsuits. The small corporations/movie studios are pissed because the large corporation is making sure they never get off the ground. I know there are glaring differences, but then again, who the hell cares?
Yes. Microsofts "Innovative" products always eliminate all the competition. I mean, look at Microsoft's Movie Maker. iMovies was OBLITERATED. And Microsoft Access really got rid of all the other database solutions. Microsoft IIS blew Apache out of the water. Microsoft obviously the ultimate in software.
It's a nice concept design. I really don't like how thin it looks. It looks like it's something that would break by holding it. I think making it a bit bulkier would certainly be an advantage. Ugh... Hope this dosen't turn out to be the flop that the N-Gage was.
It's just a matter of time until one of these routers goes bad, takes over satelites, launches nuclear missles around the world, and sends the Governor-Elect of california back in time, hunting for the man who compiled this evil, evil kernel.
No one "Needs" the Radio anymore. Nor does anyone "Need" TV anymore. No one "Needs" the computer! Although things become obsolete, does that mean it's a death sentence for that platform?
Record Players date back to Thomas Edison, yet they are still in widespread use, despite considerably more advanced mediums. Tape Backups are obsolete, but they still the #1 backup solution.
And what about TV? We certainly have the capabilities and motives to make video a computer only affair. Why isn't it already so?
No, we don't need radio. The reason it's still around is convenience, and nostalgia.
Years ago, there were instructions online on how to create one of these yourself. All you have to do was figure out the timing of your cities traffic lights. I'd never waste 300 dollars just to get through a traffic light 30 seconds faster.
It's nice to have a realistic alternative to MS Office. I've tried many OSS Office Alternatives, and this is by far the best of them all. Happy Birthday!
Consumers will soon start seeing "Homeland Security Department Recommended!" Stickers on products, and immediatly flock to those items. And, the Homeland Security Department won't be likely to issue more than one to similar products. This will result in decreased business for non certified companies, and result in a monopoly in anti-terrorist provisions.
As much as I hate Child Pornography, and the people who distribute it, if you block a million child porn sites, and only 1 non porn site is blocked, they shouldn't be blocked.

This shouldn't be relied upon in the court of law. Although I acknowledge that SCO likely has no IP claim over Linux, it should have a fair case. A program that would rule out code similarities does not rule out code that is based on the SCO code. There are hundreds of ways to do a single thing, and if the GNU/Linux took ideas from the SCO kernel, SCO may be as eligible for compensation as if it were directly copied from SCO.
I love making very small computers to bring along to lan parties. It makes me salivate to think that one day, very soon, I'll bring a 3 GHZ P4 to a lan party, in a package I can carry in one hand! Very smart move.
I see no difference. If most new distributions of linux can survive and actually make a profit in a so-called monopolistic enviroment created by Microsoft, I don't see why any other company would have a problem with it.
Yes, I could see how a new upstart company with an unknown name could have problems in getting the OS known, but the problem with that isn't getting OEM vendors to package your OS with their computers. People generally wouldn't buy a new computer with an OS they know nothing about.
Well, prolly gonna get marked down on this one, but it's just my 2 cents.
Oh just shut up. I've submitted many stories, all of them shot down. You got beat by someone. Simple as that. Oh, and the title wasn't exactly great for grabbing attention.
Sorry about the 2 billion dollar deal, I misread part of the original suit filed by Be. Sorry about that, but I still hold firm that Microsoft's dealings with OEMs was completley acceptable.

Microsoft hit the nail on the head this time! It's security is as strong as white paper.
They don't get Boba Fett in on this. It'd be the end of Geek income as we know it.
I thought Michael Jackson was driving through Las Vegas last night, not Canada.
My god! They've OK'ed linux on the desktop? I'm so relieved. I can finally start using it!
Break into the lobby of the ISP, guns in hand, and force them to remove the site from the blacklist. It's what I do when I'm pissed.
You could never make money off of masturbating barn yard animals before.
Hesh will see you, in robot hell!
If microsoft had put more of there bottom line in the past into the security of windows, this wouldn't be such a concern now, would it?
I always subscribed to the Matrix withinside a Matrix theory. Well.. Too bad. The movie wasn't that great, but at least it was better than Reloaded.
Wow, you are the master of recognizing sarcasm.
