Hello TOM!

I call them phone worshippers, but I carry one, it never leaves my pocket when
I am driving, no matter how much racket it is making.

I have driven up on car accidents where it has come in handy to summon help.

Usually the entity that does it better gets blamed..

Only now are people starting to give Google funny looks, if you think hard
about it.

Look at Symantec, the leading AV/UTIL company, they are made out to be
malevolent.

When your bullseye reaches the top, its easier to shoot at.

The Fed action, you do know that the Bush Justice Dept dismissed the meat of
that, you do know that part of the Judgement against them was for them to split
themselves into 3 companies, you do know that didnt happen?

So what I said still stands, regardless of your cite.

For years Ford and GM stood on top, just how many lawsuits from the private
sector did they face, what about sanctions from the public sector, yet they
stayed on top until economic conditions said otherwise..

Same thing with Microsoft, that is if you care to think about it. They will
only fail if the market will no longer support or accept their products.

Now to you see the end user being part of the market?
