  1. Advancement on Gates Successor Says Microsoft Laid Foundation for Google · · Score: 1

    Isn't that the basis of technological evolution? In order to advance to a new level, existing technologies must be leveraged.

  2. Bill Gates is Ineligible on 'Gates for President' Group Gives Up · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Bill gates is a "Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire." Which in turn makes him ineligible for presidency. Don't take my word for it. I simply trust my history professor.

  3. Special Interest on Senate Bill May Ban Streaming MP3s · · Score: 1

    Sounds more like special interest BS than aiding the "war on terrorism". Smoke and mirrors I guess. Good thing U.S. can't make laws for other countries. It will be cheaper for entities to move their syndication servers to other countries than comply with this bill, if it does indeed pass. What open source alternatives to DRM exist..? I know of none. Perhaps this really is a result of special interest groups and their incentives for congress peoples.
