Never make room for bullies in the cloud
"Mr. Emerson and I discussed a variety of investment structures wherein Microsoft would 'backstop,' or guarantee in some way, BayStar's investment.... Microsoft assured me that it would in some way guarantee BayStar's investment in SCO."
The freezing (or blocking) of the deal has nothing to do with technical considerations. It's Microsoft's intervention that single-handedly suffocates Yahoo, preventing it from making sound strategic moves. Even if inevitable, the more it's delayed for, the more Yahoo! crumbles and the cheaper it is to acquire. Microsoft knows what it's doing, and it's truly despicable.
Based on today's news reports, Yahoo! is again being pressured to approach Microsoft, which denies wooing the Internet giant despite very recent and contradictory comments from Microsoft's CEO.
It is almost funny how quickly people forget what Microsoft has done over the years, labeling critics of Microsoft "intolerant" [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] rather then pursue the source of intolerance. ⬆
“The true hypocrite is the one who ceases to perceive his deception, the one who lies with sincerity.”
It certainly does seem like they receive money from taxpayers for nothing, or for IBM to do mass layoffs/closure at Albany under the guise of "making a new spinoff"...
If the election is run by platforms that have back doors "baked-in" and if the communications are overseen by GAFAM, you would not have to be a "nutty MAGAt" to dispute the outcome
"It means a situation in which somebody accuses someone else of a fault which the accuser shares, and therefore is an example of psychological projection, or hypocrisy. Use of the expression to discredit or deflect a claim of wrongdoing by attacking the originator of the claim for their own similar behaviour (rather than acknowledging the guilt of both) is the tu quoque logical fallacy."
