....in El Dorado Hills, CA. That technology got sold to Philips, and became "Ambi" before the rest got sold to Cirrus Logic. It was the beginning of the dot com bust, from my reality. The product got buried but the idea was to use the home PC as a wireless server to a standard TV which had its own windows desktop in low res, and which could be used for standard windows games and apps. It worked pretty good for 1998 too!
...What an unusual story of reasonable, fair minded business professionals that seem ethical, responsive, and willing to admit or forgive a mistake. This is news, these days.
The inevitability of bird brains. Perhaps our future will routinely involve recalibration, or will chime like musical chairs. If not a nuke, perhaps a comet, or just a sudden stall, like a snooze alarm. 5 more minutes....just a few moments more.
If we all have our mini solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, chemical generators and trickle storage systems then we'll be smarter than the grid. If the grid remains smarter than us, then I guess we're not going to be very effective protection. Perhaps if we could just figure out how to stop people from trying to destroy our lives, our grids would endure, and we could avoid their crude oil and behavior.
Whats the point of law if not to pay courts? If we just leave out the legal action, we're left with less disbursement of cash and tunes. Its the new radio payola scheme.
They've been screwing us for years. What ever happened to the anti trust laws that smashed them into baby bells? I'm tired of over paying for electrons. Telecom is a major rip off, mostly we pay for advertising. We should make them pay.
Good point. The issue should be that corporations should not have more rights than our government or its citizens. Then again, shareholders and their lobbyists are not necessarily American. Maybe this is how unemployment can go up to 10% in the same year that the stock market gains 20% . Corporate interests no longer serve the citizens, perhaps.
I get it, just like everything else, it will be fair and impartial. The FCC just let Comcast buy NBC, so clearly they could do no evil. OK sure I feel so much better... We can always trust laws to prevent unfairness and everyone will happy with what the money decides.
Its even more cost effective than advertising or anti trust and its been legalized by congress who are all bought and paid for with voters. Democracy really gets shareholders their money's worth. Citizens cough it up here since they don't spend enough on taxes. WE MUST MAKE THIEVES PAY MORE THAN THEY STEAL OR THEY WON'T STOP. Don't enable corporate or legislative scum balls.

Violent bestiality with a minor?
...really, screw them. They screw everyone...well, at least they screw all of their customers. Its a corporate greed, lack of ethics thing.
But the rest of us, stuck with all of our fully-functional brains, are forced to sometimes contemplate serious matters that aren't so happy.
Thank God for the fully functional. Scientology also cures bliss and trailer infestations.
...Seems buggy by design.
...One finds them self hungry again in an hour.
The network is not to blame for the oxymoron.
....malicious and as useless as spam.
Just to clairfy - this is not the position of Microsoft, this is the view of one employee at Microsoft.
...true. How very un-libertarian of him/her. Well, to be fair, its not the opinion of the entire pacific north west either.
...that's the only sense of ethics that this S.O.B. lives by.

Everyone else just lies about doing it.
