You're referring to the fact that both groups like to stick to their values? I may not agree with one of them but they both have a very good record of not switching sides in the middle of a debate.
Yet somehow, this "corporate propoganda" is happening in California, the number one anti-capitalist, anti-corporation state. Somehow, this doesn't fit.
Maybe, just maybe, it's the government who's really pushing this agenda. The RIAA and MPAA obviously have an agenda here too, but if the great liberal Californian government is the one implementing it...
An anonymous reader writes: Bruce Schneier has written an article about how our society is becoming increasingly averse to risk as we invent technological solutions to it. 'Risk tolerance is both cultural and dependent on the environment around us. As we have advanced technologically as a society, we have reduced many of the risks that have been with us for millennia. Fatal childhood diseases are things of the past, many adult diseases are curable, accidents are rarer and more survivable, buildings collapse less often, death by violence has declined considerably, and so on. All over the world — among the wealthier of us who live in peaceful Western countries — our lives have become safer.' This has led us to overestimate both the level of risk from unlikely events and also our ability to curtail it. Thus, trillions of dollars are spent and vital liberties are lost in misguided efforts to make us safer. 'We need to relearn how to recognize the trade-offs that come from risk management, especially risk from our fellow human beings. We need to relearn how to accept risk, and even embrace it, as essential to human progress and our free society. The more we expect technology to protect us from people in the same way it protects us from nature, the more we will sacrifice the very values of our society in futile attempts to achieve this security.'
exomondo writes: Google has a plan to circumvent the problem of fragmentation of its Android operating system across the installbase by using its proprietary, closed-source Google Play Services. Play Services is a privileged service that runs on Android and provides the sort of functionality to applications that would generally be seen in operating system updates like cloud backup, remote wipe, push messaging, etc... This service can be updated silently and independently of the operating system and runs on almost every version of Android out there allowing Google to add functionality to Android devices without having to go through the OEMs so having an up-to-date version of Android is looking like less of a necessity.

Martin Lindsay said that had a two-hour long meeting and he parked his car on Eastcheap in the afternoon. When he came back, only after two hours, he found that his car was ‘melting’. He could smell melting plastic and the damage was clearly visible.
That may be true, however I fail to see how conservatives would like strong government involvement in the economy. If they do, they aren't real conservatives.
hackingbear writes: Yang Yuanqing, founder and CEO of Chinese PC maker Lenovo, will share $3.25 million from his bonus with some 10,000 staff in China and 19 other countries. "Most are hourly manufacturing workers," Lenovo spokeswoman Angela Lee said. "As you can imagine, an extra $300 in a manufacturing environment in China does make an impact, especially to employees supporting families." In its annual review last year, Lenovo raised Yang's base pay to $1.2 million and awarded him a $4.2 million discretionary bonus and a $8.9 million long-term incentive award. Yang owns 7.12% of Lenovo's shares, equivalent to about $720 million in stock.
Conservatism is opposed to controlled economies and collectivist programs such as public schooling.
Facism, seems to align more with the liberal/progressive ideologies like social welfare, forced public education, state controlled economy, and giving more power to the state.
Therefore, facism is more like progressivism than it is like conservatism.
