Except that... optimizing the prices/competitiveness of the economy and optimizing the overall good for the society are two different objectives, isn't it? Chasing one with means for the other is what brought US in the current situation.
Your comment is actually very profound. People treat economics and business as some sort of mathematical equation to optimize. "Pay the least amount to workers, make the most profit from the poor saps that must buy our products. Collect profits."
The economy is a fake man-made framework we arrange ourselves on and hope to get as nice of a life, as free from want, as we can. I think almost everyone can't see that anymore. Money is just paper, we are really just trying to make a nice pleasant society with its distribution. If that is not being accomplished, those working saps (us) are fools for continuing in the current mode.
It's cool guys, maybe someday we'll have internet like Hungary. Who knows maybe the Telco execs will finally buy everything in the known universe and not need their money anymore.
I really do think that is the only thing going for this. It has to be the cheapest thing around.
Jane or John Doe goes to Wal-Mart and next to the >$500 laptops is this and it is cheap as hell but does everything they need. They get something new that just works for them.
Just how cheap?
Cannot agree more. Many times I can hardly bring myself to read the comments because I can always expect the socially retarded slashdotters to trot out page after page of the Same Damn Shit. In soviet russia..., anything about Microsoft brings talk of Ballmer throwing chairs, etc. At least get with the times, and learn some new memes.
If you don't understand comedy, just stay home. Please.
Tell the employees that you will give them 1/2 of the money you save from using OpenOffice instead of MS Office. I think you'll find them much more ready to learn.

I will begrudgingly admit that the Apple magnetic power connection is vastly superior. But it's the only Apple feature I covet!
Hell, yes.

I literally wept in my cornflakes thinking about the plight of these poor downtrodden telco/cable companies you describe.

Wow, you want her to find and change to a Cable ISP over her OS??? I think you are missing the pink elephant in the room.
Just save your breath, sexconker. The reality distortion field is in full effect here. Nothing we can do.
I'm the submitter, and I'm not confused at all. On the other hand, your smug level is off the scale.
