Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

I would say that's a good guess, though the NSA has had some of their nefarious methods of spying exposed lately as well.

and then publicly mock whatever Apple was doing any chance he got.

This literally made my day. Thank you for the image of an ant with a Steve Ballmer head crawling around a maze yelling "Developers, Developers, Developers!!!"

At it looks like M$ is taking steps in the right direction, which is more than we could have said during the Ballmer years.

This is something that has worried me more and more as we dig deeper into the net neutrality discussion. How are we going to force Comcast's hand when the two people at the negotiating table are going out for a round of golf afterwards?
