I think this is wrong. We can see that Google can become a Monopoly, it is possible. At this moment, we really hate Microsoft, and Google aren't looking too bad. They have done a lot of things right, and a few things wrong, as opposed to Microsoft who have done nothing right for a long time.
Maybe it is news to you, but we all now that most people out in the real world dont hate, or even like Microsoft. That is simply because they don't know the details and the field as well as we do. So what should we do, stop hating them for all the bad things that they have done, and continue to do, just becuase the majority who don't know any better don't hate them.
ANd then you claim they was we can fix the situation is to do the one thing the Microsoft will never do, has never done, and will fight to the death to try and stop: Open Standards.
Microsoft make a large amount of money, from their businesses, especially Windows and Office. Now they can either invest that money in the bank for small returns, or portfolios for larger returns, or in other businesses for possible gigantic returns. The last is the logical option, for any business to do. If you don't do that, you are basically giving up, and saying we can't figure out a way to make any more money.
Already have? Have Yahoo added anything useful in the last few years, to warrant a change in my behaviour? I know they do maps, and people are supposed to use them for their stocks, but everytime I somehow end up on a yahoo page, it looks so cluttered - like they feel the need to fit everything they possible could on the page. No Whitespace allowed.
Spoken like a true Republican - living with your head in the Sands. IBM actually has great sales and profit than google. Talking about google producting is great, until you realise that google strenght comes from the fact that it is still growing, its profits are growing, and growth it what is loved on wall street. IBM is not growing at the same pace, simply becuase it has been huge for so long. And IBM doesn't sell to your local retailer, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't produce anything, and it is moronic to say that. IBM sells to businesses, of which clearly you have no experience.
Of course, this doesn't stop IBM being wrong, but not for the idiotic reasons that you understand.
No of course not. Nor can you use MHz to compare different CPUs. Nor can you look at engine size to compare different cars. Or judge a car on how many miles it has done to know whether or not to buy it.
But unless you are an expert in some particular field, and have a lot of time to study a variety of factors, we need some simple way of comparing like things.
Who decides what is public good? How can anyone even start to consider the meaning of such a term, let alone its application to tv? Is gay programming public good? What about religious education? What about evolution? Wow.
You are not defining a Manager - you are talking about the greatest Manager who ever walked the Earth. Most managers I have worked for can't do all this, some couldn't even do any of them.
Seems to me that IBM's reputation as being the friendly giant to open source is unfounded, particularly in light of how much many members of the open-source community hate Sun.
Yes the same thing happened with a mate of mine. He was a great friend, always willing to lend me money when I was unemployed, and drive me around when he could. Then, he turned into a real prick, wouldn't let me sleep with his wife, and got upset when I borrowed his car just because it has a few scratches on it. People can be real dickheads sometimes (just like IBM).
Well, make up your mind. Are they going to remove bloat, or are they going to add new features. The only way they can do both is to break backwards compatability in a big way.
Has Microsoft changed internally that much that we can hope for something better than Vista?
You know that there are sites around the place that hosts torrents, and that they provide a search function? Makes it a lot easier to find stuff, you know.
It probably has happened to your data, if you have a credit card. How would you know. Only a small proportion of cases get reported, and even when they do, like in this case, they have only released the name of 1 retailer out of 250? So when someone steals your money, who are you going to sue?
The fact is that you agree to these terms when you use a credit card - you agree for the information to be stored by a dozen different companies, most who couldn't care less about your data being stolen.
No, it actually makes a lot of sense. The 2ghz core it to run the anti-virus software to keep your Windows operating system safe, and the other 880Mhz core is to run everything else, like photoshop, Cad design software and compilers.
The worlds biggest bookstore doesn't refer to how many different books it has, more that it sells more than any other book store. You logic is also faulty. There are specialist book stores, and second hand bookstores who have books that haven't been in print for 50 years. You won't find those on Amazon.

We really hate Microsoft... and with good reason.

In any field, you are a fool.
Are you suggesting that google provide imap access to yahoo email? No, then shut up, moron.

Does Yahoo Mail have pop access, like Gmail? This makes it very easy to download all your mail.

Obviously a second error server will be contacted, to find out what sort of error should be displayed. You are not thinking Web 2.0 enough.
Well, it is about time we got rid of those mutants anyway. Nobody is interested in what they have to say.
If you are that paranoid, keep your phone switched off and next to a speaker. You will soon here whether it is sending signals or not.
Hope you don't use a credit card.
And anyway, there is no way that voting with you wallet is going to work. Most people just don't care. Nothing will change that.
Isn't this a clip from the Movie Idiocracy, showing how stupid people have come that just sit around and watch tv all day?

We don't think that it doesn't exist, we just know that it is really small compared to all the other markets.
Just a questions from the real world.

that will stop Yahoo for having to fire 1000s of its employees over the next few weeks. Go Yahoo!
You are an idiot. Maybe you should go look up grid computing, OGF, NGS, etc...
Obviously it is more fun spouting your paranoid shit than actually limiting yourself to talk about stuff that you know something about.
You know that there are sites around the place that hosts torrents, and that they provide a search function? Makes it a lot easier to find stuff, you know.

I doubt that it does. None of the Thinkpad ultra-portables (from the X21 to X60) have an optical drive built in.
