  Low hanging fruit but...
  
  it's almost as if Eduardo is compensating for something...
  
  
  Isn't this statement an oxymoron?

  thought process... we don't need no thoughts

  on German Publishers Still Upset That Google Sends Them Traffic Without Paying Them Too; File Lawsuit
  It really makes you wonder about the thought process of the folks who run VG Media.
  
  I don't need to wonder about their process. It is greed... pure and simple.

  on T-Mobile Is Flat Out Lying: It's Throttling Video Even Though It Says It's Not
  How is it more difficult to read the widely used UDP protocol?
  
  I think the simple answer would be when you are squirting bullshit out of both sides of your mouth at once, there is little brainpower left with which to craft an honest answer.

  on Health Canada Threatens To Sue Doctor If He Reveals Whether Clinical Trials Data Shows A Drug Is Safe Or Effective
  "the commercials scare the shit out of me"
  
  The commercials do warn of anal leakage... so I guess they've CYA'd themselves for that as well.

  executive heads

  on Time Warner Cable CEO: Cable TV Pricing Is So High Because We're The Mercedes Of Entertainment
  "executives like Marcus are going to have to pull their collective heads of of the sand"
  
  Sand is not where their heads are, it is more like a place where the sun doesn't shine.

  on Apple Refused Court Order To Decrypt iMessages For DOJ; DOJ Debates What To Do
  When it happens we must join forces and provide very deep pockets to the company that finds itself in the receiving end of the lawsuit.
  
  The DOJ acting the part of the bully we all know them to be, will certainly wait for an easier target to go after.
  
  If the DOJ thought they had a real case against Apple that they believed could be won, then they should take on Apple and let the case be settled on it's merits, and not on who they can steamroll.
  
  When the time comes for a smaller company to stand up to the DOJ, I hope everyone capable will help provide financial assistance so the bullies will be put in their place.
  
  The government is out of control, and the ignoramuses in charge are hellbent on stripping away the small remaining privacies we have left.
  
  We must not allow that to happen. In this case, it would be wise to "think of the children" and the world they will be forced to live in if the government has its way.

  Well, it's not like he's expected to know the difference between various laws, am I right?
  
  They only need to act in "good faith" and SCOTUS will give them a free pass on their ignorance.

  on News Corp's CEO Bizarre Obsession With Made Up Lies About Google
  All of this seems to stem from a simple bit of (willful?) misunderstanding.
  
  
  There Are None So Blind As Those Who Will Not See.
  
  There also none so ignorant as those who will not educate themselves about the business world they inhabit.

  how to buy a president

  on White House So Desperate To Get TPP Approved, It Agrees To Whitewash Mass Graves & Human Trafficking In Malaysia
  Can there be any doubt what so ever that these grateful corporations which are going to make billions more as a result of TPP passing, will "repay" Obama after he leaves office by filling his pockets with a very high fee to appear at their functions as a speaker?
  
  Perhaps now his desperation makes a little more "cents".

  "stretch"

  on MPAA Argues That Sony Emails Shouldn't Be Used As Evidence In Google Lawsuit
  "The idea that these documents, widely discussed publicly and in the press, would magically be banned from use in a legal case that was brought on because of those revelations is a huge stretch."
  
  Everything else in the "reality" of the MPAA is a stretch for any normal person... why should this be any different?

  Let's be fair...

  on The FCC's Historic Day: Voting Yes For Net Neutrality, Voting No On Protectionist State Telecom Law
  you can expect ISP legal action on both fronts
  
  
  Too bad the ISPs and their ilk haven't been forced to sign up for binding arbitration like everyone else that has to use their services.
  
  Circumvent the entire court process with an arbitrator paid for by the FCC.
  
  Sounds fair to me....
