I just have to call bullcrap whenever I hear this stuff, as M$ has never been particularly concerned where the truth is involved. Everyone who has worked there, and who is honest, will know what I mean......
I don't mean to sound as if I'm parsing here, but the truth of the matter in these high profile cases, and various insurance-involved cases (malpractice suits, etc.), is that much money and effort goes into precision jury selection.
When I heard the make-up of the jury, all women, all mothers, I feared that Zimmerman would be found not guilty; it seemed the greatest probability given their jury selection.
Personally speaking, the one and only time I finally made it to the point of jury selection (it was a medical malpractice lawsuit, and the majority of the jury members had been selected, but the attorneys were planning on excluding several, so the largest pool of jurors was brought in for voir dire, thirty in all, with the least likely to be selected at the very end of the line, which naturally meant I was number thirty juror possibility [never chosen, 'natch] --- being at the end afforded me the position of being next to the four Jury Selection Consultants [three men and one woman] and overhearing their whispered remarks --- said remarks pointing to the targeting of the blandest people possible, those most likely to never have questioned the status quo!) it was quite the learning experience.
Had this been in earlier times, but in the present tense, and a random cross section of that town been chosen, in all probability Zimmerman would have been justifiably convicted, as he should have been!
Now Zimmerman can pick up and his gun, and no doubt in the future make another attempt against an innocent victim.
Perhaps, like Ernesto Miranda (he of the Mirandizing or Miranda Warning), eventually his karma will catch up with him.
...if Ballmer wants to increase efficiency, creativity and development at Micro$oft, all he really needs to do is build a basketball stadium on their Redmond campus, or maybe even include a giant Ferris wheel there!
....about cloud computing is that Deutsche Borse is opening a Cloud Exchange, in a few months, to essentially commodify cloud computing, which would allow the same activities to take place as those oil/energy and other commodity exchanges: speculate prices upwards, various financial manipulation, etc.
My later comment concerning the ownership of so many, if not the vast majority, of foreign telecoms by private equity firms (private banbs/leveraged buyout firms) such as Blackstone Group, Carlyle Group, etc., also regards AT&T, reconstituted thanks to Billy Clinton's signing of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and historically owned by the Rockefellers, and very recently granted immunity from prosecution in their part in warrantless wiretapping, said legislation spearheaded through congress thanks to Jay Rockefeller!
Duuuuhhh. . . last we checked, most those "foreign telecoms" were owned by private equity/leveraged buyout firms such as Blackstone Group, Carlyle Group, et al. Of course, the banksters (private equity category) who have long been the Wall Street overseers of the Financial-Intelligence-Complex will control the global telecommunications, as they control the global news, etc.
Sadly, and speaking as a hardcore life long democrat/progressive, Obamacare is what this is all about: simply jacking up the prices and offshoring the jobs as a backdoor bailout of the insurance industry, owned by the banksters, and hit hard by the exponentially increasing offshoring of American jobs --- meaning fewer workers and companies to buy those group health insurance policies.
The US government has officially invoked the Espionage Act in response to whistleblower Edward Snowden’s leaks of the massive and continuing violation by the NSA of the National Security Act, plus federal court rulings over the last few years, as well as portions of the onerous USA PATRIOT Act.
We are constantly bombarded with the disingenuous drivel about our country being “a nation of laws,” yet consistently we see that the laws are selectively applied against the enemies of the plutocrats or overclass!
Under existing laws, and after both the public admissions and public lies uttered by the Director of National Intelligence, Gen. James Clapper and the NSA Director Gen. Alexander, the immediate arrests of these two culprits should be undertaken.
Not to arrest Clapper and Alexander is in complete contradistinction of existing law.
To fully uphold the aforementioned laws, impeachment proceedings should commence against President Obama, Vice President Biden and Attorney General Holder, along with the arrests of previous federal lawbreakers, Donald Rumsfeld, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Roberto Gonsales.
Obviously, as these actions aren’t underway, America is not a nation of laws, and any such proclamation is blatantly fictional!
Just as President Obama has repeatedly stood before the American people and brazenly and falsely proclaimed that the banksters broke no laws (perhaps one should say his banksters, since he is in their pocket?), his administration once again flaunts those very laws he has sworn an oath to uphold (and claims to understand).
Lawlessness rules across America, with the overclass making the rules.
Since the passage of the national defense legislation in 2006, during the Bush administration, which exempted the Department of Defense (Pentagon) from Freedom of Information Requests (FOIA), and the NSA comes under the purview and provenance of the DoD, the only possible way to ascertain when the NSA is breaking federal laws is when a whistleblower, such as Mr. Snowden, comes forward.
Obama’s holy war on whistleblowers continues unabated!
....they sell to a bunch of countries, supposedly over 160, including China, Iran, Bahrain, Syria, the USA and India, and then each country simply tweaks it a mite and calls it by a different name, but it's still the Trovicor Monitoring Center, the state-of-the-art in automated intel platforms!
.....denied entrance to the airliner by the French, an "unknown" from the US State Department office ushered him past security?
Huh? Like I would believe anything former Bushie-now-Obama guy, DNI head, Gen. James "sure there's WMDs in Iraq, and as part of the Bush fabricated Iraqi intel group, I should know" Clapper, or Chambliss, that cracker neocon draftdodger from George?
. ..as I mention in a later comment, if all those tech jobs, technology and investment have been shipped to China, this would be the likely result, with generations of American students/workers rendered almost obsolete in their pursuit of IT employment.
When the DoD (that would be Dept. of Defense for the dummies who regularly read this site) issues the top security level (O-Ring) to Micro$oft's operating systems, and MS hands over their OS source code to the Chinese gov't, could be a major cause of the problem. Another major cause would be offshoring all those jobs to China --- offshoring all that technology to China --- offshoring all that investment to China (instead of corporate amerika amortizing into their country from which they are based, and should be expelled); said actions render this article posting completely ludicrous, written by a member of the species, ignoramus americanus!
