Why Are Computer Hardware Vendors Such Snoopy Control-Freak Weirdos?
,----[ Quote ]
| It's reminiscent of Microsoft CEO Ballmer's Australia tantrum over mod chips
| for the Xbox:
|
| ""If there are aspects that are not allowed, it would encourage us to
| require a change in the legal framework. Otherwise, it wouldn't make
| economic sense."
|
| Translation: Make everything that threatens our business model illegal, or
| we're outa here. No, we cannot possibly try to make attractive, fairly-priced
| products that people want to buy because we never knew how and aren't going
| to learn now.
