Comment Re:Good move on their part (Score 1) 343

And I still prefer "potentially violating individual's civil rights as well as privacy laws" than protecting a bunch of fuck ups that use any damn excuse to loot and burn! How about shop keepers rights to not have their business burned down? How about peoples right to walk down the street and not be beat up by a bunch of assholes? Where are their civil rights you fuckwit?

Comment One big reason it will not work (Score 1) 316

As someone who has worked in sales most of my life and managed sales support teams I see one flaw in the plan. Watson is logical. People are not. Anyone in sales knows the vast ocean of illogical reasoning that comes spewing from peoples mouths during the sales process. Anyone in IT has their favorite stories of dealing with people who either are clueless or just temporally insane at that moment.

When you have a budget as big as they have whats to lose? Go ahead and make it and see if the market bites. Some certainly will so it's just a matter of how many. Yeah its a follow the leader mentality but so what? I don't think MS truly cares about a flop here and there as long as they keep in the game. Did Zune or Kin really hurt them much? In this forest even the blind squirrel will sometimes find an acorn.

Comment Where the buck stops (Score 1) 312

When it comes down to business and making a buck or human rights business wins every time. It's always business as usual no matter the human rights record. This has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with human rights and companies making poor choices.
