Leaked Video Shows Google's Leaders Disparaging Trump Voters, Scheming to "use the great strength and resources and reach we have to continue to advance really important values"
Private monopolies can do whatever they want. I mean, sure it's illegal to use a dominant market position as leverage to advance another business product -- Microsoft was sued for using its dominance in operating systems to try to give its Netscape browser an advantage over competitors -- but our well-paid-off "conservative" shills will tell us it's no problem for an outright monopoly to scheme to use its power to squelch some businesses and competitors and an entire political movement.
Tucker Carlson reported on an email which shows that Google tried to Hack the Election for Hillary. Specifically, a senior Google employee bragged that she had used Google's power to try to boost Hispanic turnout in some states, in order to help Hillary win. She called this a "silent donation." Google will not clarify what she meant by making a "silent donation."Comments

"An eye-opening documentary, The Creepy Line reveals the stunning degree to which society is manipulated by Google and Facebook and blows the lid off the remarkably subtle -- hence powerful -- manner in which they do it.
The Creepy Line is a title taken from the words of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, when during a 2010 interview he explained Google's code of conduct: 'The Google policy on a lot of things is to get right up to the creepy line and not cross it.' However, as Dr. Robert Epstein explains in the film, 'Google crosses the creepy line every day.'
Containing interviews with Jordan B. Peterson, Peter Schweizer, and others, The Creepy Line offers an explosive look at the meddling and intervening done by Google and Facebook on their supposedly 'neutral platforms'."

In the very early days of DOS 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 etc. when things moved along at a fairly brisk pace, there was a little poem about how MicroSoft would screw with the competition and make certain functions no longer worked;
DOS isn't done, till Lotus don't run
is one I remember.

Only after they were sued for illegal tying did they start melding IE with explorer to make it seem functionally inseparable, as if the tech development followed the legal argument.
Seems backwards, unless you are facing the potential breakup of your monopoly on OS for illegal tying.

Not quite.
The way Windows works, the user is 'browsing' the computer the way you browse a website. IE was always used for internal UI browsing and interactions. So MSFT would 'prefer' IE for most actions, including web browsing.
It may have done other shenanigans to make Firefox et al work less efficently, but Internet Explorer always WAS part of the OS. It doesn't differentiate between 'file explorer' and 'internet explorer' or it didn't back in the day. Same program, more or less, was used for both. Just skinned differently and pointing at different stuff, internal vs external.

Yeah, the architecture for FF is primitive. It worked well for a limited period of time but it isn't adaptive. There aren't a lot of employees working on design and bug fixing for it.

Are you certain this applies back to Win 3.1 days?
I am open to the fact that I misunderstand technical details, but there was browsing the web before there was Internet Explorer. And in that time, Netscape was king, then along came Windows 95, the shenanigans, the suit, and then even more close tying of the Explorer/IE functionality, which never made sense, from a technical standpoint, why you would want to do such - browse local files same as internet - when it was heretofore separate protocols and needs.

For Win 3x, the GUI was just a mask. It was still actually all command line scripts behind the screens
All 'clicking' on anything did was execute a command line operation.
Win 95 was different, though still based on DOS of course, in that the operating system did more than just hide the command line.
IE's function has changed in later OS, I think starting with Win 7? Definitely with Win 8 and 10.

So DARPA/Google may be its own DeepState operation now ... and then there is Elon Musk and rocket tech, Hillary selling Silicon Valley access to Moscow (Skolkovo deal) ... it is really hard to imagine how much they have sold us out.

And I'm just a user, sharing historical user perspective, as flawed as that could be accounting for loss of detail over time and mixing time lines. I followed the case closely, and I have a distinct recollection that some of those improvements were ex post facto technical changes that lent support to the legal arguments made in the case that the "browser" functionality was inseparable from the OS functionality.
I seem to also recall that after the US settlement, MS was forced by pre-EU authorities to release a version without IE.

There is a linux phone due out or out and there are always old dumb phones. Apple is no better, IMO, and in either case, you will likely lose access to each' apps, if that is important to you.
Otherwise, it is an uphill battle to de-evil-spying-ify yourself. The hardware is cheap, because you are the product.

I was at MSFT during the lawsuit but I wasn't in the Windows division. But there was a lot of lunch talk about it. I may be wrong too. I am old now, so very old...
The EU version of pre-winXP just 'hid' IE. Which, considering the mental horsepower of EU politicians, was good enough. IE was still used behind the scenes and, unless they blocked the process, typing 'iexplore' from the Run line still would launch it.

Let the market decide. Leftists don't want the market to dictate success, because it opens the curtain to the little man hiding behind it pulling the levers. I recall finding it funny that Zuckerberg seemingly invited government "regulations" to protect data integrity and content on social media, that I am sure he would have helped write. Of course, the ultimate goal would be to ensure that FB remained an untouchable monopoly.

As a software developer I was obliged to try different phones constantly for a few years. The best phone OS I've had hands down was the windows phone (Nokia 96
. The operation was flawless, it connected seamlessly with android and apple, and worked a treat with my PC.The phone actually went for a swim in the ocean and dropped into a hot bathtub and came out unscathed both times. The Androids always gave me issues after updates, and most apps or software would balk at some point. Apple's iTunes are straight out of the friggin' stone age. To have to use a separate app to sync/backup is ridiculous, as is the inability to actually access files on the #$% phone. The windows phone was like having a small version of my PC. All photos, videos, files were on my PC or vice-versa instantly.
M$ screwed the pooch with the public, ruining their chance at being a player. The OS8 tile system was cool and different, a much cleaner idea than all the crappy little icons on the other 2.

Like NYC Mayor David Dinkins, LA City Mayor Tom Bradley, Massachusetts Governor Patrick Deval, NYS Governor David Paterson, once history is made by electing "The First Black (whatever). . . " the motivation to elect a black politician goes away.
Especially when Dinkins and Patrick and Obama screwed things up so bad and people realized they were willing to sacrifice quality for history.
Well, Obama is the David Dinkins of the federal government and now Trump is the Rudy Giuliani cleaning up his mess and proving how bad his predecessor was.

It also integrates stupid-well into the rest of my Mac stuff, much more so than the Windows and Linux stuff. Which leaves me more time to do my actual job, which, as far as I know, is trolling the breakrooms in the building for leftover bagels.
I am very good at my job.

I dumped my IPhone when they made it virtually impossible to use with a computer unless you owned a Mac.
Not to mention the stupidly proprietary com/power ports when there were perfectly suitable (and smaller) industry standard mini USB ports available.

This is true for just about any product. It is worth exactly what the market will pay for it. Apple didn't create this, ask any kid who is wearing $300 sneakers that cost about $8 to make.

i dunno. i'm a bit of a techie, having made money from programming since that meant COBOL on a B800 while I was still in high school and i like apple.
mind you, i didn't get involved with apple at all until the MacOS 8.mumble days, just in time for the original fruit-flavored iMacs to appear. i gather that i'm one of the few that liked the hockey puck mouse.
got more heavily involved when macos x came out because i've never been a windows fan; i'm a cp/m nut and thought the worldwide takeover by ms-dos and the ibm pc was a horrible tragedy.
but i didn't really become an apple fan until i started studying russian and found that i could work on homework by simply firing up vi in a terminal window and nattering away in cyrillic. including combining diacritics (marking accents). wrote myself a simple flashcard program in Lua using just plain old vi and just plain old Lua. and the system had no difficulty handling files with russian filenames.
yeah, the hardware's closed; my first mac was a beige g3 with actual *gasp* pci slots. my current mac is a trusty mac mini that i dearly love and have never needed to open.

Not at all, at least not for me. I use the hell out of my Mac, my iPhone, my Apple Watch, and my Apple TV. They are products that easily do what I want them to accomplish, with a bare minimum of fuss and bother.
Heck, I just open my Mac and my watch logs me in.
Easy. No virtue signaling here.

I'll always be grateful to Susan Sarandon for her standing up to the Clintons, campaigning for Jill Stein in 2016 and being an actual "honest liberal".
She light years better than Messing. They aren't even in the same galaxy.
Sarandon has redeeming characteristics. She attempts to promote her ideology (right or wrong) in a forthright and fair manner.
Messing is a fascist through and through.

Yeah competitors really don't have anything that compares yet. Things like the integration of iOS devices and appletv through airplay work so well and so easily.
Amazon is the only company even trying to catch up right now, and they still aren't close.
Posted by: Sjg at September 13, 2018 02:21 PM (gDSJf)
Messing has wanted to kill Susan Sarandon since she campaigned for Bernie then Jill Stein in 2016 because she thinks Sarandon is responsible for Cankles losing voters to Stein.
Sarandon posted recently about maybe it was a good thing that Trump won because apparently a lot of lefty woman have run for office because of Trump.
Messing is guilt shaming Sarandon again for allowing Trump to win over Cankles.

I opened mine (mac+). Just required a long enough torx blade. I enjoyed the performance too. When I switched from one spread-sheet page to the next, I had time to go down and make a pot of coffee. It was useful as a terminal for my wife's 9600 baud modem though.

It's not just about email and search - few of you understand how much of your daily lives are affected by Google data.
Here is a dirty little secret; quite a lot of Google's empire was built upon rampant lawbreaking - they outright stole vast quantities of data while driving competitors and former partners out of business. Entire categories of data-gathering industries are simply gone.
This is a one-time deal - you can't repeat it, because the entities they killed off aren't around anymore to pillage, and that which they stole has not been maintained properly because like a lot of lefties, they have the shit-midas touch.
Conservatives can start up a new web search, or a free email client, or a video hosting service. Nobody is going to successfully launch a new panopticon under Google's watch.

From Concentrate, that's a great summary. I'll just add that in the Variety article, Sarandon was implying that the increase in women running for office is due to them pushing back against Trump. Messing did not read the article, thought Sarandon was giving Trump positive credit for something related to women. Which caused her mind and her Twitter to explode in silly hate.
