The person who makes privacy as easy and intuitive as Google search will make a bundle. The public isn't ready yet, but when the time comes, the market for privacy will be huge.
Linux is more difficult to install and get started (I'm a Mac user, can you tell:)) So for most users I do not think Linux is practical. But every year the user interface improves and more software gets produced, so who is to say that it could not grow to dominate the market? I have seen the OLPC computer, it is good, but still not a Mac. So I just don't think Linux is practical yet, but plenty of Linux desktop users disagree.
Linux has never struck me as practical, from a user point of view and even less as a business model. Yet I cannot help but notice that every year adoption continues to grow and every year more Linux based software is produced. Obviously I am missing something.
Also, I can't see announcing software is compliant with GPL, or any other standard, if the governing body has not certified it so, so once again I am missing something.
But that is just me.
Neither the Information Week article I saw, nor any other story has provided any details. It is alleged that blackouts occurred due to cyber attacks, but no specific locations are provided. What black outs? When and where? No details are given.
And what is the evidence that cyber attacks were involved? We should with hold judgment until we are provided with the specifics.
Wow, could a trade association pay the ultimate price for engaging in a totally counterproductive strategy that hurt the industry? Could the NFIB be next?

nothing like photos

Given that our government keeps firing translators, terrorists would just have to speak in a foreign language. No other measure would be necessary.
certainly that is a more precise way of saying it.

Sure sounds that way.

but this is a very positive move on the part of Microsoft.
I stand corrected on my first reading of the situation.
good catch
How many times is this going to happen before corporations realize front organizations don't work on the Internet?

Why on Earth would you be surprised that Diebold machines malfunction? They're designed that way. No way to know for sure, but it is not possible to explain their PR strategy from a normal point of view.
Sony realizes that suing your customers is not a sustainable business model.
because sometimes bad things happen to bad poeple.
that is less susceptible to market forces.
