I don't want to look like I'm defending IBM but if you read the quoted article from The Register carefully, you'll notice that IBM said that OSS was not ready for the desktop in 2002. It was because of the delay of the British Parliamentary Commitee in charge of revealing the study that we came to hear about it till now. Yet, I must agree that this news, and the their recent investment in Novell makes IBM look bad.
Just switch Bluetooth off! Right now it doesn't have too many uses apart from getting data to and from personal devices. So whenever you're in the street/tube/bus/etc turn it off. Just don't forget to turn it on whenever you need it:)
I wonder what's the shareholder's opinion on this issue. Actions like those certainly give companies a bad image and might scare investors away, with all the repercussions on share value and the like.
If I were a FOX shareholder, I would certainly be quite pissed.
Considering the number of people that work on sending those emails, one less shouldn't make much of a difference. It's an improvement of the situation though.
