That's not randomness at all. It only seems random because they don't have a model currently to describe quasar behavior. Thus, they're confusing randomness with unpredictability - just because one can't predict what will happen in the next n instances doesn't make it random. What's to say some brilliant scientist won't come along in the near future with a model predicting quasar behavior?
Did you miss the part where they said they were seeking 2 billion dollars? Call them sellouts if you'd like, but you'd do the same thing if someone offered you 2 billion for one of your school projects.
Nice fanfic, and not so farfetched, but I don't see much truth to it. Mac is supposedly releasing Leopard towards the end of the year; if Vista were being ported to the Mac why would they spend millions on a successor to Tiger?
Oddly, even though they are citing the need for more time to tweak security, business editions will available to volume licensing customers before the close of the year.
I know! Let's sell the less secure version first to businesses who actually profit from their computers! What an great idea!
Heaven forbid a company should become more popular than yours in the eyes of Google. I mean, if the general populace is linking to other sites more than yours, naturally your ranking is going to be lower. Moreover, how can one reasonably expect Google to send a notice to the owners of the billions of sites it indexes? It's simple black-box testing - providing such notices would allow people to figure out how PageRank works.
It sounds to me like this company is just a sore loser to competition.

The article never stated whether this was intended to replace hard drives, or serve as 340 DVD+R's ducttaped together.
