Kraft Foods abandons “one computer fits all” policy

Now this was an interesting article until I read this line:

"Of course Apple users will probably not notice the subsidy as they will end up spending most of their salary on the machines"

Whatever happened to unbiased writing? While there is a kernel of truth here, what does this have to do with the article?

About time someone (now that corporations are even more "people") takes this point of view, and acts on it.

Should simplify security issues, too: just cut off DHCP for any computer that gets detected spraying spam or ARP spoofing or whatever. That sort of thing is probably already in place.

Sounds more like a "one computer OS fits all" policy.

Hmmm...

I wonder what would happen if someone brought an Intertec Superbrain to work.

Heh.

They'd hand them a twisted pair Ethernet cable (attached to a jack in the wall) and say "Have fun! Get back to us when you're on our intranet."

I would simply connect an OpenWRT router to my serial-to-usb thingie, run a terminal emulator on the Superbrain and Links on the router and call them.

"Guys... Is the Flash menu really required? Because, apart from that, the intranet looks just fine here"
