and there you see, as a corporation going all for the money makes you filthy rich, but you remain unoriginal, unwanted and loathed to an extent that makes people even turn away from money, because you're giving money a bad name with your attitude.
imagine that the richest technology corporation on earth might also be a kind, generous and benevolent one. is this mutually exclusive?
i for one welcome... no wait, actually i don't care who does wi-fi in the cities as long as it's free, uncensored and available to everybody. i doubt microsoft will provide this kind of service.
...and the next party coming to power will have to face the proprietary, thailand-exclusive, bug ridden, weak security office software that the previous government ordered to be developed.
Actually, a lot of greedy corporations making money in this case, and the original inventor having to go to court to get some compensation. Was it a greedy corporation that had filed the patent, they would be all over this way before WLAN would have reached the mass market.
Hasn't Patent law been invented to protect institutions and individuals from exploitation? How come everybody seems to give a shit?

Remember? Fraunhofer Institute did it the same way with mp3 a few years back.
"Sure, there is a small percentage of "geeks" who will never run Windows"
soon, we will count 7 000 000 000 humans. even if the percentage of windows-hating geeks is small, we're still a decent mass of people that all in all outnumbers the 60 000 employees of microsoft.
burning applications actually require you to disable autorun so it doesn't interfere with the burning process.
you get those autorun issues after burning a cd, when the cd has been correctly burned and the autorun content that might be on the new disc is started automatically, confusing the inexperienced customer.
you should keep an eye out on how much anti-china-stuff is posted lately in the news. at first i thought it's just a coincidence. but it slowly builds up.
i wonder what is going on.
