It's a bit long winded I'll agree.

Could have some huge implications for consumer freedom etc. though. Although I still say HP will come well unstuck.

Couldn't help reading this (http://theregister.com/content/6/32048.html) tho. Certainly made for interesting reading, and offered some facts, unlike many hysterical articles.

Missed that one.

None of this is very surprising though. We're seeing a move away from the 'old world order' of huge corporations dictating prices and markets to consumers - towards a newer one where the individual consumer can shop across the globe with the click of a mouse.

You can't blame these companies when they see how the Internet and I.T in general is taking the power away from them and putting it in the hands of their customer.

I'm still enjoying their futile struggle though mwahahahahahahahahaha :norty:
