My view of the world

According to an article in the NY Times M$ strikes again, this time they shut down a chinese blogger’s site because the guy pissed off the Chinese government.
Their response was:
“We think it’s better to be there with our services than not be there.” Translation “we’re in it for the money”, the Chinese buy M$ products and therefore the currently favorable import climate must continue, uninterupted.

The question arises, how long before they do the same here, just because one of our Government Agencies asks them to?

It’s all about the Benjamins, any large company, when they feel the most minor of threats to the smallest part of their profit structure, current or future, turns into the world’s worst “brown nosing, back biting weasel” and capitulates, after all, if the people running these companies had anything but profits on their minds, they’d be down here with the rest of us, actually working for a living, and anything, except greed and avarice on their part is just posturing

Don’t ever expect honesty, much less honor from any major corporation, because, the only thing that ever gets to the top of any food chain is a predator.
