this just proves that Microsoft doesn't get it. For all there R&D dollars and for all their marketing dollars, piggybacking off of Apple places them in a poor light, a "hey look, we are relevant too" kinda light. Apart from the OS space and the occasional Windows phone, Microsoft and Apple are no longer the direct competitors they once were.
1. According to IRS data, the Fortune 500 paid an average tax rate of 17%.
2. However, since taxes are merely an input cost, one can argue that corporations do not pay taxes on income.

Betelgeuse could have blown up in 1411 CE. News sure travels slow in our part of the galaxy......
I am afraid the data doesn't back you up on the claim that "many peoples psychosis is triggered solely by their [sic] use of drugs". Studies have shown that porlonged drug abuse may inflame psychotic outbreaks and other aperiodic abnormal events but causation is not highly correlated. Indeed, the correlation with respect to marijuana use is below that of other exogenous factors.
And this becomes a non-issue. After all liquor stores publicize their locations. After all liquor is a more addictive, more harmful drug by orders of magnitude yet it is regulated and legal.
You mean the Newton?
Sarah Palin just took down her USA Map with targets drawn over democratic leaders, one of them was for Gabrielle Giffords.
If your car fines you every time you go over 65, then don't drive or 60 or so. Problem solved.
...something is to be said for unenlightened self-interest. I am just not sure as to what.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
