Comment Planned Obsolecence (Score 1) 226

$MSFT makes money on the OS when it is pre-installed on new PCs. So make a OS that is only on new PCs and does not work on old PC's as an update. All part of the plan for millions of PCs to be obsolete in a short time and long before the hardware wears out. Forcing people to buy a new computers and pay $MSFT their percent. Then do it as often as one buys new shoes so the OS and PC is a service.

Comment When was HQC given. (Score 1) 236

It would be interesting to know if it make a diffrence when HQC was given during the course of the illness. Anecdotal evidence said earlier the better. The anti-inflammatory properties of HQC is what is helping. If the virus is to far along the anti-inflammatory properties are of no help and the person needs a different treatment. When the person is already in losing lung function is too late.

Comment Severance package. (Score 1) 1116

What kind of severance package did Eich get. Somewhere in a contract of a multimillion dollar CEO has to say they will lose millions if they leave by quitting before the contract is over but, if they are fired/removed by the board they get the full contract plus a severance package. Would not put it passed that based on contracts they say he quit in the PR spin but at the bank he is still on the payroll.

Comment What about Healthcare.gov (Score 1) 303

Reports have it that when people can sign up they get quoted a price with subsidies only to find out after 3 letters from the state the price is 3 to 5 times more than what the website said and you don't get any subsidies. It would be funny if someone sues the government and insurance companies for changing the price after they completed the purchase and are waiting to pay.
