I often feel that it's better to have a mediocre standard than no standard at all. No one is going to buy until one format is dominant...
If they had just done some kind of binding arbitration or even picked one format randomly, they'd be rolling in dough. Consumers would be "forced" to upgrade (yet again) to a new standard format.
Instead, no one upgrades, and the companies miss out on potential profit.
Here's what they should do: ban all devices and texts that display inappropriate information. Who wants to live in a world in which people can see sex, violence or evolution?
Once we get rid of all those books and magazines and that interweb thingie, we can get back to the important stuff. I think it's time we put an end to all of this inappropriate behavior by setting an example. Let's put the librarian to death and be done with it. She's obviously a witch.
The survey was done on the web site's own readers. Unless we can assume that the readers represent the Linux community as a whole, this survey is largely useless.

"IBM's participation is limited to thoughts on design, but the company likely will contribute code to the project".
I put this through BabelFish's translator. Apparently, this could be taken to mean:
"A big company is going to do little to help out, but is willing to share credit for an open source project."
Me? cynical? Never!
