fiesycal··on A Brief Explanation of Microsoft's Anti-Google Patent FUD
Dumping also means when the competition is wiped out the prices will be raised. Do you think Google is going to do this?
fiesycal··on The man you want to be does not matter
Isn't tying ones self worth to others opinion a bit dangerous. There's always going to be people who don't like you/think you provide value etc. It's surely not healthy to rely on others for your self esteem, or to define who you are. This is only a small point from the article but I thought it important to question.

I agree that computers could be simpler but I don't really agree with the car metaphor. A car may be complex to build but in the end it has one main function to get you from point A to B. In comparison a computer has almost limitless functionality. It's important for computers to be accessible to all but I don't think limiting their use is the way to go.
