You should consider that Brazil has almost 6 times the canadian population (180 million for Brazil and 30 for Canada) and that these voting machines have decreased the time it takes to display results greatly. We have results with 90%+ machines accounted in less than 12 hours. So far this hack has been the most significant issue and it can be prevented now that the information is public.

Well, considering that I had no idea what that guy said until I read it here, I'd say MS is putting more fuel on the fire by saying that. Would it have ended up on slashdot even if MS hadn't issued the denial? Maybe, but by denying it, it ensured it ended up on slashdot.

Who said Microsoft cares about whats on slashdot front page? Nothing really "good" from Microsoft is likely going to be news here anyways.

He's just saying that most iPhone sales ought to be in US. Here in Brazil an iPhone costs around 800 US with 1 year contract* so one might say they are not the most popular phone around.

* Excluding eBay derivatives which import the phone from somewhere else.

Seriously? I work for Vivo (a Telefonica & Portugal Telecom company) in Brazil. The estimated cost of a normal call is next to zero inside your own network (less than 0.02 USD) and for landlines and other operators is something small .Personal 3G costs 50 USD (_every_ single operator charges the same), but we offer enterprise 3G unlimited access at 20 USD. Do you really think they sell 3G access at a loss? And if they do, where does the commission (~60USD for each 3G modem sale with 24 months contract) from? Come on!
