Isn't that also similar to the situation with Nexium, in that they're literally abusing the patent system to their advantage then falsifying studies to show how much more effective it is that Prilosec?
Yeah. Mr X publishes in favor, Mr Y publishes against, Mr Z and Mr A publish for, in that order, and all do it under their own name. You now have a body of evidence to refute Mr Y, even though Mr X, Mr Z and Mr A are paid by Wyeth. You don't know that because Wyeth won't tell who they paid to say what.
Many others would too. How many jewelers would be out of work entirely if not for gold? More fringe here, but gold leaf is used for alot of art and some food preparation. And what kind of medals would we give out to our winners if it weren't for gold?
Just as a side note: I think it's really ironic that the people who achieve the most in just about anything (from swimming to nobel prize winners) get a medal made out of a largely useless metal.
I imagine the uproar isn't over the failure of Microsoft's search engine, but rather that Microsoft seems to be skewing results in their favor from some people's perspective. True or not, I don't know, but I wouldn't doubt it from any enormous megacorp.
Nah, on closing the browser or navigating away, they'll go with "We own the rights to this story, and since you read it, now you have to pay up. We recorded your IP, and if you close this window, it will automatically contact your ISP immediately."
I like that idea, except that if (and this is probably about right) 60% of politicians are in the hands of big business, and 40% are in the hands of the people, we're gonna end up at the same fucking place in the end.
My immediate thought, exactly (except for the added punctuation):
Aw fuck, that's gonna mess alot of shit up for a long time, if not for the rest of forever

This comment fits even better under this one.
It's probably because they can easily develop competing products to Microsoft's very easily fiven their talent and fund availability.

Except that when 80% of all studies say it's good because Wyeth flooded the journals with their own studies, it's not so easy.

Yep. People != Inventory

Well, in the states it's known about MSNBC being biased liberally. I'd like to know what you guys think of CNN though.
Unless they oppose each other. Then, your theory doesn't quite hold up.

Until someone wants to take away his power. Then he unloads a little portion of his money to reload on power. It's a delicate balancing act.
You can't quite bullshit a number that's available to everyone. You can easily bullshit what a 1000-page long document says in your opinion.
Comedy can be fiction, and usually is....
Yeah, point is, we're looking at a website with browsers that haven't implemented all the features neccesary to take advantage of the sites.
Can anyone guarantee any level of video performance when delivering a site to a random computer?
It helps for the mandatory reboot when installing lots of things from updates to applications. Other than that, you're right.
No, it's the look-alike.
Mob justice, anyone?
Only if the mob is composed of lunatics
to prevent people from freaking out even more.

I think it can serve both purposes, if played right.
you claim a company is a business partner of yours
Without a contract, unlikely to be able to prove it.

Have fun with that one.

Why would Google negotiate with a one-doctor office on terms of a NDA, again?
