... please listen to consumers like us, not the shills of Google competitors. You're doing little else than undoing the great work that some of your colleagues like Neelie KROES, who is more representative of public opinion than our own government. Don't be a prat.
Must admit, I've bought "Gutenberg the Geek" - for free - and also the spoof "50 Sheds of Grey" - the male parody of the book series, for 20p. It's refreshing that you can buy a book that's concise, cost effective and not full of superfluous "filler" like most books you find in physical form.
The 50 Sheds of Grey book got my order after seeing a two sentence sampler of the work: Hurt me!' she begged, raising her skirt as she bent over the workbench. 'Very well,' I replied, 'You've got fat ankles and no dress sense.'
This sort of sabre rattling by the FTC or those in politics is bollocks (excuse my French). Cost to move to a competitor - one mouse click. Nothing is stopping the consumer.
The whole shebang is a proxy for competitors to try trip Google up by any means they can. That in itself should be the clue stick of which companies really need their business practices examined...
I worked 17 years for Digital Equipment Corporation, who didn't pay commission to salespeople until the dying days under Bob Palmer. They were about the only company out there where the sales folks would routinely so no to an opportunity if our products didn't fit, compared to most whose products did everything the customer asked for (and didn't), a fact unknown until the customer had wasted their money.
It bred trust and customer loyalty like nothing else.
We were also instructed to look after our existing customers before trying to look for new ones.
The Olympic Broadcasting Service is feeding all the worlds Broadcasters, including the BBC in the UK. Here, we have 24 free Digital channels of Olympic coverage around the clock. Sounds like NBC and their life in the scarce past should be the sole target of the criticism here...
Been following this on Groklaw. Pretty radical that the jury was 11:1 in favour of Novell, but then the judge decided to pass a verdict in Microsofts favour on the grounds of no case to answer. Quite a slur to the jury. Not surprised Novell have appealed...
I'd like to thank Twitter but can't as my UK postcode isn't a recognised ZIP code on that vote site. There are actually appreciative users beyond the US coastline you know...
