This reminds me of a satire I once read about the United States. One of the points that the satire makes is that if a country needs money all it has to do is to get the US to bomb them. Then the US will provide them with billions of dollars in relief money.
Same can be said of companies competing with Microsoft. Do something that Microsoft doesn't like...Microsft will pay you to keep your mouth shut.
This is just another example of outsourcing. Many products that are sold in the US are made in third world countries because the labor is cheaper, and profit margin is bigger. Slowly, but surely, the US IT industry is moving to India, because programmers work for less money there.
Here online gambling has shifted to Puerto Rico, because the Costa Rican government has taken a laissez-faire approach. This means more money for the bookeepers. Besides in a overpopulated country, more jobs mean a better economy. It is a win-win for both the government and the businesses. THe US should restructure its current government so that it is more favorable for business. Maybe then, we can get out of this recession.
The PS2 and the Xbox are the two hottest selling consoles on the market right now. These two consoles in some ways redefined gaming by including a way to connect the console to other players around the world via the internet. The next generation of game consoles will obviously be better. They will be faster. They will have bigger hard drives. The will have better graphics. In short they will almost be as powerful as a desktop computer. Can Sony, Microsft, and Nintendo sell these next generation consoles for less than $300 conoles and still make a profit. The console that wins the pricing war will likely win the "console war."

Yep, I believe that was the title of the sstire.

The only thing that prevents Apple from grabbing a serious share of the market are their prices.
Correction: Here online gambling has shifted to Costa Rica, not Puerto Rico.
