people are saying that 'some' change is measured faster than the speed of light just that that change can't be interpreted until other information is transmitted at the speed of light. as long as you are able to measure some change, what stops you from lining up a row of entangled particles and interpreting them as binary? 'some' change is a 1 while no change is a 0. then couldn't one transmit information faster than the speed of light? i wouldn't pretend to understand the mathematics involved in such a thing but from the general knowledge i have gathered on the subject and from the responses of people who claim to be knowledgeable this seems like a reasonable application of this ability.

if microsoft had to unbundle ie how many people would really know where to get their favorite non-ie browser from? most home users don't even know about the ftp protocol and even if they did can you access a search engine by connecting to ftp://google.com? what if you don't know the exact ftp repository? would you prefer these people telnet to the http daemon and send raw commands? and even if microsoft were to bundle 20 other browsers with their operating system what's to stop them at browsers, now we've got anti-trust law-suits against file system types... or we've got 100's of other browser makers suing to get their browser included in windows. microsoft is fighting a loosing battle as king of the hill. if a browser maker wants to bundle their software they can do so with linux, it's not an unfair advantage to bundle software with *gasp* an operating system that requires software to be functional.
