Someone once said that any publicity is better than no publicity. The more the better. By doing this, it guarantees Mr. Trump will add to the scope of his publicity. Just look at the impact here. Mr. Trump is not a typical point of discussion at techdirt.
The Moral High Ground, lets see how we could really lose it: 1-Nuke anyone that attacks us 2-Execute anyone that disagrees with us. 3-Make sites like this disappear, truly eliminate "Free Speech" 4-Jail or Execute dissenters 5-Eliminate the "Rule of Law" 6-Dissolve a government that can be changed by people that actually give a dam. We can vote change. 7-Eliminate the freedom of religion or the Freedom to have no religion. 8-Permanently occupy countries that we are forced to go to war with. 9-Don't forgive debt to the countries that we bailed out. 10-Shut our boarders and don't give a S&*t about the rest of the world. 11-Finally, when we are forced to go to war, leave the losing country in the destroyed state. The comments in this piece are funny/sad.
Microsoft and Google should suspend what ever licenses the DOJ is using, immediately and keep them suspended until open access to the court documents are made available!
Consider this:
Skype to be integrated into every windows PC in the world with a service pack update. This now grows Skype's accessibility and awareness virtually over night. Because it is there, it will be used. Keep it as a cross platform service while having it as a "standard" feature in Windows.
Pricing is very rarely about the cost of production. It is always about the cost the market will bear. Kindle users are paying a premium for a gadget to read books with. Typically they have money and are younger, so charge more.
You miss the point. Income is flat. This is not acceptable in business. It would not be acceptable to you or I either. Consider if we never received raise's, cost of living or otherwise.
There are two solutions:
1-Innovation
2-Regulation
Regulation is easier and guaranteed until a competitor bucks the system.
Do what Labor Unions Do, BOYCOTT!!
Boycott the airlines!
If you have to travel, try the bus or train.
If you have to fly, Boycott the scanners.
Blog it up, spread the word.
With enough peaceful dissent, the airlines will force a change.
This is one way we can effect change.

We, the US Citizens are Too LAZY to organize and give a DAMM and the politicians know this. WE, the US Citizens, have given control to the politicians. If We, the US Citizens, cared enough WE, the US Citizens, can take it back.
Look at the statistics of how few American's vote in each general election.
"American usage
In U.S. politics, some parallels can be drawn between the general election in parliamentary systems and the biennial elections determining all House seats"
You, WE, control Congress by our Votes.
Plain and Simple. Congressmen are up for re-election every two years, the Senators have 6 year terms.
Build coalitions on line, the beauty of the internet.
"Another other reason is that it was blatantly obvious that they want power and the only way for junior representatives to get it is to blindly Kiss the A$$'s of their leadership."

"Capitol Hill trivia for you: Did you know that often times the actual Congresspersons don't even READ the bills they're scheduled to vote on? They're quite often foisted down to one of their ASSISTANTS to condense and give them some sort of "Reader's Digest version", which don't necessarily include discreetly slipped-in trinkets that are written in such a way that they are MEANT to be overlooked, and signed into law anyway..."
This is one reason I stopped watching C-Span. It was obvious the Senators and Congressmen didn't read the bills and amendments. Another other reason is that it was blatantly obvious that they want power and the only way for junior representatives to get it is to blindly Kiss the A$$'s of their leadership.
I live inside the beltway and it makes me sick.
WE, US Citizens.
The Electoral college aside, one person one vote, regardless of wealth.
