Great post; completely agree. I feel a lot of us associate "things" like programming languages with our identity. So if our identity is attacked, we take it personal.

Generally you'd think new ideas would win out on old ideas. But you hope the new at least learns from the old. No need to repeat mistakes. This is the criticism I usually see from BSDs towards Linux or programmers towards Golang. Not that I disagree/agree, just an observation.

Such a good article. I believe "Ethical implications of social VR and AR" would be an accurate title.

Hopefully we .42 will inform our fellow 4.2ers when they come to us for advice when buying a new laptop/anything Lenovo makes. I don't think it will be so hard to explain it to them. They already know what adware is. Just mention it comes installed ready to track you. Always listening while you're visiting bank.com.

Indeed! I was leaning towards this thinking myself. But the optimist in me keeps refuting it.

>> There is also the separate-but-related political reality that the Internet, as a vehicle of basically free information, is opposed by those who depend upon their influence over the flow of news and information in order to maintain political and economic power. This policy shift will make it more difficult for them to keep their influence, and will therefore be fought against by very powerful people who face a long-term threat from its continuation.

Sorry couldn't resist this quote. Any one else see the similarities with MGS2?

Seeing as I was in my own world today, I just heard about this news. I was(still am) ecstatic and excited by the news just to be bummed down by the comments. I'm with you on this.

radioact1ve | 12 years ago | on: What is the worst thing about working at Microsoft?

Exactly what I was thinking. It might just be me tired and not thinking clearly, but where do we draw the line? Tire manufactures for the ambulance? Tools manufactures that built the hospital?

Other than this, everything else made sense. Microsoft does play an important part.
