    Surely, if MSFT's BoD were smart enough to toss Ballmer on his keester, they'd have done so already. If they were smart enough to stop farming programming to the third world to save money, they'd have done so. If they knew how to put Windows on top of UNIX without breaking thousands of legacy DOS programs in Enterprise, their core market, they'd have done so. Heck, if they knew how to make a competitive MP3 player or a game console that didn't catch fire, they'd have done so.

    Just recently China launched a pdf-based malware bomb to spy on Tibet. The Tibetans are the most peaceful people on Earth and they have suffered under brutal Chinese occupation for 50 years, ignored by the world, because our fat-cat executives want to buy lead-tainted, toxic Chinese trinkets a few percent cheaper than they could get them if they used American labor, and gave jobs to Americans! The world is broken. So-called "free trade" screws Americans and oppresses people in poor countries.

    Help me with my math: zero (Zune) + zero (Danger) + zero (Live networks) = duh, I don't know?
