Comment google's brilliant strategy (Score 1) 280

c'mon! china will do anything to catch up to the west including spying. what's google's share of market in china? their best shot at catching up to a gov't lapdog like Baidu is to offer uncensored content. recognizing that advantage, the chinese authorities moved quickly to threaten 3rd party suppliers that might work with google. How's that for gov't involvement in the marketplace?

At SXSW no one could use their iPhones until AT&T rushed in a fix. Then the Fire Dept couldn't communicate. AT&T says it was unrelated but they sent their software people to the Fire Dept to help solve the problem. I'm so glad AT&T doesn't waste its money on infrastructure. It's better they spend it on marketing and hype and fighting net neutrality.

That's interesting - what can they do for office 2007? You'll love this: I'm in a hotel and can't get email with my new Vista laptop running Office 07. My old laptop (I have to take it with me for instances like this) running Office 03 and XP retrieves my email just fine. My ISP determines that it's Microsoft's problem. When i explain to the rep that I'm still running the trial version of office 07, she tells me they won't support it unless I BUY it. But it's not working. I asked why I should buy something I've been having problems with - her response: install the Office 03 version from my old laptop - it will run on another computer. Did you ever...?
