| schestowitz | [12:52] <lightpriest_> hey roy, a class action lawsuit against MS might be formed here in Israel (a friend of mine). nothing official yet, but if so - I'll report. | Oct 17 13:18 |
| schestowitz | [12:52] <schestowitz> maybe techrights can help | Oct 17 13:18 |
| schestowitz | [12:53] <lightpriest_> thanks, I also offered help. He says he has enough money :) | Oct 17 13:18 |
| schestowitz | [12:53] <lightpriest_> and enough time on his hands for it ;p | Oct 17 13:18 |
| schestowitz | [12:54] <lightpriest_> basically he's suing them for not being able to purchase a laptop without windows pre-installed | Oct 17 13:18 |
| schestowitz | [12:55] <schestowitz> They would risk by by settling | Oct 17 13:18 |
| schestowitz | [12:55] <lightpriest_> he's not a settler :) | Oct 17 13:18 |
| schestowitz | [12:57] <lightpriest_> he sued a bunch of sites (~80) for falsifying public auctions results | Oct 17 13:18 |
| schestowitz | [12:57] <lightpriest_> systematically, that is | Oct 17 13:18 |
| schestowitz | [12:57] <lightpriest_> they all wanted a settlement... | Oct 17 13:19 |
| MinceR | it would be nice | Oct 17 13:20 |
| schestowitz | [12:58] <schestowitz> If he doesn't hurry up, Microsoft will run out of means to settle with | Oct 17 13:20 |
| schestowitz | [12:58] <schestowitz> And they are better off complying | Oct 17 13:20 |
| schestowitz | [12:58] <schestowitz> I.e. unbundling or allowing it | Oct 17 13:20 |
| schestowitz | [12:59] <schestowitz> Same problem in the UK | Oct 17 13:20 |
| schestowitz | [12:59] <schestowitz> Dell hardly stocks Ubuntu on the site | Oct 17 13:20 |
| schestowitz | [12:59] <lightpriest_> it'll be interesting to see it here in Israel | Oct 17 13:20 |
| schestowitz | [13:00] <lightpriest_> we're basically a Microsoft country | Oct 17 13:20 |
| schestowitz | [13:00] <schestowitz> UK is the same and Australia too | Oct 17 13:20 |

| schestowitz | Re some law | Oct 17 13:20 |
| schestowitz | Apple thing... | Oct 17 13:20 |
| MinceR | IANAL, but my mind is available | Oct 17 13:20 |
| schestowitz | [13:00] <schestowitz> Germany and France are opposites | Oct 17 13:21 |
| schestowitz | [13:00] <lightpriest_> but Australia has that law on bundling software with hardware, no? | Oct 17 13:21 |
| schestowitz | [13:00] <schestowitz> Not that I know of | Oct 17 13:21 |
| schestowitz | [13:01] <lightpriest_> apple sells the OS appart, in Australia, no? | Oct 17 13:21 |
| schestowitz | [13:01] <schestowitz> Bundling is common there too, AFAIK | Oct 17 13:21 |
| schestowitz | [13:01] <lightpriest_> perhaps I am confused ;p | Oct 17 13:21 |
| schestowitz | [13:01] <schestowitz> Never heard of it | Oct 17 13:21 |
| schestowitz | [13:02] <schestowitz> Apple-branded PCs will only run binary BSD with fancy icons (Mac OS X) | Oct 17 13:21 |

| schestowitz | Apple selling OS X-less macs?! | Oct 17 13:25 |
| MinceR | haven't heard of that | Oct 17 13:26 |
| MinceR | it might even be that they sell them OSX-less in their stores and talk the user into buying OSX for them on the spot | Oct 17 13:26 |
| MinceR | better ask the people from oz | Oct 17 13:26 |

| schestowitz | too political for me... | Oct 17 17:50 |
| schestowitz | gore and stuff | Oct 17 17:50 |
| schestowitz | I lost some readers for it | Oct 17 17:50 |
| FurnaceBoy | wikileaks is too political for techrights? | Oct 17 17:50 |
| schestowitz | No | Oct 17 17:51 |
| FurnaceBoy | for whom? | Oct 17 17:51 |
| schestowitz | Long story.... | Oct 17 17:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | i guess the campaigns are working then | Oct 17 17:52 |

| schestowitz | Or "Terror" news | Oct 17 17:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | well, sure, many geeks like to keep technology separate from politics, that's a reasonable policy | Oct 17 17:52 |
| schestowitz | Or British/US/Israeli/other occupations | Oct 17 17:52 |
| schestowitz | It's divisive | Oct 17 17:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | is this new? | Oct 17 17:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | i assume you're not objecting to discussing it | Oct 17 17:52 |
| schestowitz | people of certain nationality find it insulting | Oct 17 17:52 |
| FurnaceBoy | so what? | Oct 17 17:52 |
| schestowitz | Or religion | Oct 17 17:52 |

| FurnaceBoy | hm, i meant to write to @joanwalsh | Oct 17 17:54 |
| FurnaceBoy | oh yeah i remember now | Oct 17 17:54 |
| FurnaceBoy | they've had a long-running series This Week in Crazy | Oct 17 17:54 |
| FurnaceBoy | there's too much material, though, it's like shooting fish in a barrel | Oct 17 17:54 |
| FurnaceBoy | so they started a new series, This Week in Sanity | Oct 17 17:54 |
| FurnaceBoy | which is a really good idea | Oct 17 17:54 |
| FurnaceBoy | focus on those occasions where a public figure uses their brain | Oct 17 17:54 |
| FurnaceBoy | i was going to compliment her on the brilliance of it | Oct 17 17:55 |
| FurnaceBoy | doesn't fall intot he trap of letting the extremists and Fox set the agenda | Oct 17 17:55 |
