Another example of crony capitalism where the majority suffers to enrich the few.

A good piece on what is really one of the biggest problems we face in the United States and I believe Mr Stossel is right when he states that keeping government small is the best way to minimize this problem.

Interesting study results which adds weight to what many conservatives have been saying for a long time.
I have known several brilliant people who moved to the US from European welfare state countries because there were few incentives to work and study hard in their countries. They moved here to get ahead and as a result contributed thier tallents to our countries success. Now we are developing our own welfare state and I wonder where our most brilliant people will be moving so they can get ahead?

Microsoft should get used to giving Windows away for free

Interesting article which raises some good questions. Should Microsoft follow the author's advice? I don't know but I know several XP users that have moved their systems over to Unix rather than pay for an upgrade to Windows. To facilitate this they took the time to convert their data over to open source applications that are available on both Linux and Windows. IE using either Open Office or Libre Office in place of Microsoft Office, Thunderbird in place of Outlook, GIMP for photo editing, and Audacity for audio track editing.
Disclaimer: I still use Windows (7 & 8.1) and Microsoft Office though not Outlook. I also use the named open source apps on Windows and Linux and have used several other operating systems and office productivity applications in the past.

One Year Later, Unlocking Your Phone Is Still A Crime

This article raises quite a few questions about who is telling us the truth. Congress claims to be looking out for and protecting the consumer. The Executive claims to support allowing unlocking while secretly negotiating a treaty which would outlaw it.
My personal preference is for Congress to pass a law which allows unlimited unlocking after the initial contract period is over and makes provision to allow for paying a disclosed at signing time prorated fee to allow for early ending of the contract and allowing unlocking. it seems to me that the consumer owns their phone once the provisions of that contract have been met.
To disclose any personal interest: I have no knowledge of any personal ownership of any telecommunications stock and have been with the same cell phone provider (through several corporate name changes and mergers) since I bought my first one many years ago.
