What general user of windows would ever be subject to a Linux forum? I hope that my employees (on ms software) are trolling the net for reasons to say that they could be more effective on open-source rather than M$.
The general user is really heated about this MS v. Open source issue, every day someone has come in early to put a flaming Office 2003 cd on our office's front steps and then demand that we hire a whole new staff to support linux. We get shit when we upgrade from one version of Office to another because it LOOKS different, not even because it ACTS different, and we are a HUGE company (the HUGE was only to show that we are not a 10 person organization working on eBay... you have definitely heard of us, we are "Kind of a big deal" -- always funny)
Who wouldn't support linux\oss becoming the standard? Or anything that is ubiquitous and user friendly... Hopefully the next volume of "The Tipping Point" re-addresses this issue. Won't be long before Microsoft pulls their head out of their ass or O.S. just blows them out of the water.
why would these online publications ever want google to quit freely advertising their products. their ad revenue would be related to that of google news'. google news is a value-adding party, not a competitor. any leagal action would be out of spite that google makes any money off of someone else's publication.
i'm sure this will get shot down, but ever since the google portal came about, i'd think that slashdot has been getting a good amount more traffic than before. hell, anything from the google portal is a free click anyway.

underachieving sociopath?
they are close to no-handed web surfing via a mouse that can navigate the web on its own... a lot of people are going to be sore for a while.

I believe he is letting sony's engineers off the hook, not sony as a whole
