Well, you have to remember that the google is in it for money. Any company is about that. The "You can make money without doing evil"-thing will bow away to realities of making money and marketshare. If google did not censor their site they would be totally blocked. When totally blocked they would loose the ability to reach extremly many ( http://www.iiasa.ac.at/Research/LUC/ChinaFood/data/pop/pop_9a.htm )
people available there. Then someone else would step in...
Yes, 10% is low, but a damm good begining. Actually any single product does not have to have the 25% marketshare, only that IE has less than about 75%, be the others as many as they may. Basically that would force the webdesigners to aknowledge there is a sizable non-IE share.
Market share actually has a bearing on many companies thinking. If you propose a soplution and they ask how many use it, and the response is 1% or 10%(though currently only 7%) there is a mental difference. A 1% means a marginal thing. a 10%+ means a viable alternative.
This has allways existed, but what is a bit different perhaps, is that in the past when you were exposed to have lied, you were seen as something bad, today it is seen as business as usual. An the actual use of these types of things might have increased too.
Today I can easily send mail seemingly coming from any domain. The idea with this is that the sender can be verified to come from the named domain. Ie. To stop domain spoofing.
Ofcuourse spamers can set up domains for the purpose of sending Spam, but they will be easier to track, as you can be sure the sender is actually connected to that domain.
Further many of todays Scam pretend to come from your bank, sent with authentic Email address. With this, if you get email from the bank, you can be sure atleast that the email came from the email server of that bank (though as usualy you should be careful)
Well, the aftermarket of autoparts is huge and you do not need to buy authentic Nissan parts for your nissan to work. There are many alternative supliers. So for this to work in the game world we weould need alternative supliers of these types of services..
Well.. I am sure there will be a crack out by that time, as the current trend by game depeloppers seems to be to try their best to pust their loyal customers towards piratism.
The problem here is that intel is sinking billions into itanic, its a black hole for money and intel keeps throwing more money into it trying to save face.
Indeed, one of the hardest things in business planning is the axiom "Never count the sunken cost" since prestige seems to allways come in the way.
Well, most are likely to be Business analysis types of things as the engineering departments of most companies tend to be more indepenedent. But you have to rememember that there is a huge number of computer science people in the world who have basically a windows based education. So the combination of those makes me think that the product in question might actually get quite many sales alsoe outside immediate business applications in the low end supercomputing arena. But the current ones I have seen have mostly been of the business-analysis type things.
BTW, is the name really "Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition"? Sounds terrible...
Oh, I am sure the developers wanted to call it Windows Server 2003 CCF (Complete Cluster F***) but the marketing people stepped in... Changing the name to Windows Server 2003 CCE

One pc (List of components) no operating system. ow can you the prove you bougth an operating system from them?
that is why they require proof or purchase too...
Nope, this is not a PR move.. this is an attempt to find people who SELL pirated software

Well, given that Microsoft has been very good at getting market share, I am sure they will soon have to revive the long lost IE development.
There is nothing new with this thing. The young of a society ahve allways though the old ones are out of touch.
Some people even document their crimes http://www.ipodhacks.com/
well, yes, but as other companies have now set up music stores, maybe integration with one of them could help?

But the real problem are the people who do not understand computer technology. They will not understand what a signed message is...
Indeed, but if the emailprogram had a popup box saying: "This email did not come from the Domain it claims to come from" should kind of help...
Might be, or it might be that they still think that there is marketing value in the name, to keep it alive.

That should texh them to pick names that are better omens. (maybe Duke Nukem now and Forever)
No they did not "put" it there. But usually it is the publisher who pushes for the harder copy-protetion schemes.
India is among the quite corrupt contries, like number 90 of 146 in the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index 2004 http://www.transparency.org/cpi/2004/cpi2004.en.ht ml#cpi2004
So corruption it itself does not seem to be able to stop tech-business, though Ukraine is way lower at #122.
Sun seems Very happy with the AMD partnership as it is. http://www.sun.com/amd/
So I do not see this likely.
