THANK YOU! Please someone, before posting on this board, learn wht DavidD knows already...the definition of Malware! Malware (for 'malicious software') is any program or file that is harmful to a computer user. Advertisement is NOT malware.
"The bottom line here should be to help people, not to create a giant PR platform for your company's products"
Grow up...
Don't think for a second that Nicholas Negroponte (who is ubiquitously playing the part of the lowly university professor just trying to do his part to help humanity) is not financially benefiting from this...HE IS. His book, BEING DIGITAL, has gained increased exposure and sales since his name has been in the news for this (It's on the NYT Bestseller list). He serves on the board of Motorola (I bet these laptops use some of their technology to great fanfare...oh what benevolence). Oh, don't forget the cover stories and exclusive interviews on the subject with WIRED magazine...which be founded.
I'm not saying it is right for Bill to make this a personal ego contest...but lets be fair. Negroponte has one of the largest egos out there and he is feeding both it and his wallet through this exposure. He's not your childhood Sunday-school teacher going off into the jungles for a mission.
In the words of 1980's comic Eddie Murphy "I knew she was a bigfoots Gus! And your kids are bigfoots too. We went fishing and they didn't need a hook, line or pole, Gus. They both stuck their faces in the water and came up with fish in their mouths, looked at each other and said 'Goonie-goohoo', What the !$#@ is 'Goonie-goohoo'"?
