I recently visited a web page doing investigative work on an old American Car Magazine to find out who owned it. To my surprise, it's owned by a group of Asians. I wondered why American Cars were not selling as well as imports. Duh...Overseas Asians own half of American Magazines...DUH ! Foolish Americans !
My privacy was invaded by just looking at their web page....I received 2 junk mails at my home address in Michigan 2 weeks later to buy subscriptions to 2 of their magazines. I never entered any information to their web site, but they got all they needed to Spam me through the U.S. Mail. How that for invasion of privacy? Trusted Computing my butt! I use Windows XP... :( ......I sure would like to sue someone!

When General Motors reached 60% of the market 35 years ago, the U.S. Government threatend them with having a Monopoly and was going to require them to split. Where's our Government today with respect to Microsoft and their Monopoly? When the corruption gets cleaned up in Washington, maybe someone will get off their fat butts and do something thats been on the books for a long time. I too am looking at PClinuxOS. Tried it and it works great!

The music industry has taken half of the fun out of computing. Everyone is afraid of using music on their computer or in their own movie creations in fear that it could be posted and become a smash hit on the net and someone would want to sue them. What a shame that beautiful sound is something to be afraid of. We spend lots of dollars on the latest sound cards, speaker systems, and Ipods and then don't get to enjoy them because we are afraid. Works great doesn't it, fear....Just isn't the same anymore is it? I wonder how much radio stations have to pay to play music over the air waves or how often they get sued for making someone famous. Guess we should stop buying music and just listen to free radio. What a novel idea...LOL...oh! and who you gonna sue when your CD gets a scratch or just fails because CD's shelf life sorta sucks? or a hard drive crashe$ that has all your downloaded mu$ic on it?...ain't life grand these days...they can go after you but you can't get them...LOL
