Failed companies are pathetic trolls trying to steal money from companies who rightfully and successfully use what is available. Oracle, you're irrelevant now. Leave Java to the community, accept that OOo has been taken over, and let everything else you are hoarding go as well, and find some other thing to do.
When companies make such desperate acts to gain money and fame, they deserve neither.
If I went blind, I wouldn't expect to be able to use computers and the internet, a primarily VISUAL medium. Why limit what can be done to half-ass a method for blind people to stumble around on?
I know this sounds very un-PC but damn, when you have a disability, deal with it, there are going to be some things closed off to you. You'll just have to do what you can.
Start something that promotes open software, open ideas, and open standards. Take on Microsoft and other companies head on. Show people what quality software and open standards do for everyone.
That's what I'd do.
I will never buy any CFL bulb from you or any other company. If you want my continued business, restore your production of incandescent bulbs.
You now join LCDs on my shitlist of useless, inferior technology being forced on consumers for no goddamn reason.
I hate you all.

THIS is the Neo-Geo song.

Am I the only one that sang along to it like "Neeee-ooooo-geeeeoooo... Neeeee-ooo-geooooooo..."
As someone that is extremely left-eye dominant, 3d does not work for me. Period. I always wondered what the big deal about ViewMasters were when I was a kid, not realizing the things should be 3d (I saw them as two images of the same thing, well, one adjusted for the 3d effect everyone else was getting). If TV, movies and everything else starts following this the way everyone followed HD to screens that weren't compatible with my eyes either (any motion makes me sick, as I see horrible tearing and delays with LCD and plasma displays, even ones that are apparently the highest quality), I'm going to have to give up watching anything new.
Oh wow. Oh, fucking wow.
Not only did someone get so defensive about this as to MOD DOWN AN AC DOWN TO -1, but have flooded this discussion with replies that only show how corrupted people have gotten from Microsoft's way of doing things.
Let me tell you kids how things work in the real world, instead of Microsoft's imaginary fantasy land come to life:
Video cards are made that can do X and Y and Z. THEN -- as in AFTER THE CARDS ARE MADE -- APIs are created that give programmers the ability to access the video card's ability to do X and Y and Z.
The concept that it works the other way around -- that Microsoft creates an API that says "we want programmers to be able to do X and Y and Z" then TELLS VIDEO CARD MAKERS -- THE COMPANIES THAT CREATE THE VERY HARDWARE AND LOW-LEVEL THINGS THAT ENABLE GRAPHICS TO EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE -- to create cards that implement X and Y and Z -- is completely backwards and proof that we have really stopped understanding how things are supposed to function.
Here's a hint -- look up what API actually MEANS before spouting your Microsoft-centric garbage. I wouldn't be surprised if you were all Microsoft-paid trolls and marketers that are placing your twisted spin on things and making people continue to believe in your garbage. I know Microsoft hires people for this reason -- I've had people inside Microsoft admit to me that they do.
So either you're a bunch of paid trolls, or have been brainwashed by them to believe things that are completely backwards from the way things are supposed to be.
No wonder gaming these days is a horrible mess.
Now can we really make M&Ms (and tons of other foods) better by getting rid of the awful yellow dye garbage (tartrazine)? It's been shown to affect tons of people negatively and some even link it to childhood obsessive-compulsive disorder and hyperactivity.
Seriously, we can do without yellow foods or find something much safer, can't we? Why do we continue to put use this as a food dye when there are so many issues with it?
It's a real pain in the ass to analyze ingredient lists of every single thing I buy to make sure it doesn't have that in it, and it's in very non-obvious things as well (things that don't even look that yellow). Plus they don't draw attention to it like other food allergies, it's just hidden near the bottom of ingredient lists. And I'm sure I've accidentally had it at restaurants causing me to feel like crap and get headaches and feel sick afterwards.
Ban tartrazine.
If hating a company that lies, cheats, and steals its way to the top is a "disease", then I don't want to be well.
Just don't use cookies. Or at the very least, allow people to opt *in* rather than out.
What a concept, right?
All of them. Any company. Anywhere.
Greed and stupidity has absolutely taken over our society and made dealing with anyone nearly impossible.
It's the end of our society as we know it. Thanks a lot, everyone.
Your cheap little Linux netbook just got a boost in credibility, or will get a boost when Microsoft drops the web app version of Office 2010 next year. To date, Linux netbooks or anything else running the OS had to rely on non-Microsoft programs to read, edit and save in the familiar
