Microsoft Antitrust FAQ – The Center for the Advancement of Capitalism<\/a><\/p>\n

– An interesting pro-business discussion of the topic, some pretty intelligent<\/p>\n

stuff here. Leave your bleeding heart at home \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

"In sum, Judge Jackson\u2019s condemnation of Microsoft is not based on the facts<\/p>\n

of the case. Instead, they are based on his hostility toward self-interest and<\/p>\n

toward business success. This is just another reminder that the ultimate issues<\/p>\n

in this case are not factual, but moral." –<\/p>\n

Altruism in Action An Analysis of Judge Jackson’s Finding of Fact and the<\/p>\n

Antitrust Assault on Microsoft – The Center for the Advancement of Capitalism<\/a><\/p>\n

– another discussion of the case, this time focusing on bias on the part of the<\/p>\n

Judge.<\/p>\n

\n

"Even worse than his slanted terminology are his substantive arguments, in<\/p>\n

battle.” After years of training, he would finally become, as he told me<\/p>\n

recently, a ”manager of violence.” An eight-year veteran of the Special<\/p>\n

Forces, he had never killed before, had never given an order to kill, had not<\/p>\n

The<\/p>\n

Advocate – Pencil sharpener Sculptor gets the lead out with miniature carvings<\/a><\/p>\n

– totally bizarre – this guy carves the lead<\/i><\/b> inside a pencil. Very<\/p>\n

cool, very small.<\/p>\n
