Google itself? Is it afraid of itself becoming and doing evil eventually?
Google is a publicly traded company. They by law has to keep shareholders interests (if they are legal). There is a difference between being ethical and being legal. When they say DO NO EVIL it may mean do legal things. They have never said we follow some ethics as dicatated by some religion or some community. As long as they do legal things there is no need for them to be afraid of anything.
This is pretty good move from google. They know it is not possible to bundle with IE. The next best is to push with other alternative that is firefox. The advantage for google is to tap potential customers(?) who use Mac OS or Linux or Windows.
I think we need to thank state of MA. Now Open office can flourish. Whether MS supports saving the documents in ODF format or not atleast they can read it. This helps open office usage. It would have been much nicer if they had put the support for older versions too.(I know why would they)
This is an Opt-In system compared to googles Opt-Out deal. Google should follow MSN and Yahoo on this one. If you look at the contributors this could really go strong.
WOW. You are giving them a lot of credit. I cant think of any product that is right even after 10 tries. Really, you know its a MS product and what made you test that damn thing when everybody knows the outcome?

1) The US has not outsourced all, or even most important functions. Banks keep financial records in the US. Really, I've seen the computers on which they do it. No point in sending them over to India, legal problems aside, you aren't going to save any money. Most outsourcing is lower-level stuff, call centres and the like. R&D is still largely US based.
Lots of companies (for example Cisco, Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, Texas Instruments, GE) have outsourced their R&D to India.
Cisco's R&D center is 2nd biggest in the world. Don't fool yourself. We cannot stop this outsourcing shit.
2) India is a real, no shit, well-armed nation. If Al-Queda started trying to pull off attacks in India, they'd work to stop them, and by and large succede. Also note that India doesn't have a bill of rights, the authorities get more latitude when dealing with criminals over there, and many things considered cruel and unusual in the US are normal there. What's more, in a matter that was national security related, they'd have even less restrictions.
India does have bill of rights. It is called Fundamental Rights. If you dont know, it was actually based on US's Bill of Rights when it was written.
3) Al Queda NEVER had the resources to pull of an attack like that.
You got this ont right.

NAGOYA -- Toyota Motor Corp said Thursday it has developed a new species of the Cherry Sage shrub family that effectively absorbs harmful substances in the air.
The new species, called Kirsch Pink, will be sold for 380 yen per pot through Toyota Roof Garden Co, a Toyota Motor subsidiary, from March next year. While Cherry Sage plants are known to absorb nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and other harmful substances in the air, the new species does so 1.3 times more effectively, the automaker said.
In the other news GM said it has developed a new species of "Chevy" Sage Shrub family. The new "Chevy" will be sold for $350 per "pot". People can smoke this "Pot" and absorb all the oxides like nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide that are good for the health.
Just basing figures like these on whatever market gives you the best results is more to keep shareholders happy.
I agree with you on the survey being meaningless. But AMD is keeping their shareholders happy. You need to chech the 3rd quarter profits To Quote
"For the quarter ended Sept. 25, sales of chips that power servers, desktop computers, and laptops leaped 44% to $969 million. The division posted operating profit of $209 million, up from $89 million a year ago. "
ICANN is not a multi billion $ mega corporation. If it were one no country would have bothered about this. All the politicians would have gotton some kickbacks and would have been happy letting them control do what ever they want.
How will google reconcile any partnership with Time Warner with their policy of doing no evil?
Google is a publicly traded company. They by law has to maximize the profits for their shareholders. There is a difference between being ethical and being legal. When they say DO NO EVIL it may mean do legal things. They have never said we follow some ethics as dicatated by some religion or some community.
As part of their deal with the global software giant and No. 2 video game console maker, Universal and Fox will pay Microsoft $5 million plus a percentage of movie ticket sales. The price is capped at 10 percent of domestic box office receipts.
So if the movie makes $50 mil domestically, All Microsoft gets is $5 mil. They were negotiating for more I guess MS was shown the middle finger.
News.com is reporting that HP / Compaq will begin to install all PCs sold in the US and Canada with Netscape
This is good. But When MS buys a stake in AOL. HP will be back installing IE. I hope that wont happen
And windows doesnt support clustering yet
Windows Server 2003 actually supports two different types of clustering. One is called network load balancing, which enables up to 32 clustered servers to run a high-demand application to prevent a single server from being bogged down. If one of the servers in the cluster fails, then the other servers instantly pick up the slack.
Network load balancing has been most often used with Web servers, which tend to use fairly static code and require little data replication. If a clustered web site needs more performance than what the cluster is currently providing, additional servers can be instantaneously added to the cluster. Once the cluster reaches the 32-server limit, you can further expand the cluster by creating a second cluster and then using round-robin DNS to divide traffic between the two clusters.
The other type of clustering that Windows Server 2003 supports by default is often referred to simply as clustering. The idea behind this type of clustering is that two or more servers share a common hard disk. All of the servers in the cluster run the same application and reference the same data on the same disk. Only one of the servers actually does the work. The other servers constantly check to make sure that the primary server is online. If the primary server does not respond, then the secondary server takes over.
This type of clustering doesn't really give you any kind of performance gain. Instead, it gives you fault tolerance and enables you to perform rolling upgrades. (A server can be taken offline for upgrade without disrupting users.) In Windows 2000 Advanced Server, only two servers could be clustered together in this way (four servers in Windows 2000 Datacenter Edition). In Windows Server 2003, though, the limit has been raised to eight servers. Microsoft offers this as a solution to long-distance fault tolerance when used in conjunction with the iSCSI protocol (SCSI over IP).
We are implementing a solution for department of child welfare services where case workers do use tablet pcs when they go on to field to interview parents and others associated with the child. Other wise these case workers had to use paper forms to fill in the information and later comeback to office and re enter that information to have it electronically.
We are also implementing a system for case workers review inspectors who also go to field and interview people to get feedback on case workers and they all use paper forms to fill these information and had to comeback and reenter all those information to make it available electronically.
Tablet PCs make more sense here than laptops for its form factor and convenience. They can hold it like a notepad and start writing on the screen as they would on a piece of paper.(But it has its problems)
Abuse may not be seen in the form of service degradation or anything like that. Abuse will be in the form of increasing ad prices to the businesses which in turn increases any service or product prices. I think google is an other monopoly in happening.

Probably you don't know much about slashdot. Even if Linux farts, its going to be a big news here. Since you are new here, welcome aboard :)
I had told novell not to run their websites on Windows OS. They wont listen. See now
