Verily I say unto thee, that Linonut spake thusly:
Poor Roy gets dinged, though:
Roy Schestowitz got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning:
Nice publicity stunt, but everyone already knows that Intel doesn't
give a **** about open source (unless it means money) ... Doesn't
Intel have another charitable not-for-profit project to sabotage
today? And trust me, I say this because I know. Intel deserves this
treatment because it has earned it over time. Not to mention monopoly
abuse and many misuses that directly hurt rivals, destruction of
E-mails (court evidence), fake benchmarks... [more]
Roy's right though, regardless of which side Richi Jennings (Ferris
Research analyst) thinks he got out of bed.
I find it curious how some people apparently have a blind-spot for
certain kinds of immoral behaviour, like sabotaging charities for
example, but miraculously develop 20/20 vision when it comes to seeking
out and chastising those who criticize such behaviour. The fact that
Jennings presents this in a humorous light is all the more condemnable,
IMHO. Why does he think this is funny, I wonder? Is it because he thinks
Roy is mistaken, or because he thinks Intel is justified in sabotaging a
charity in order to exploit the third world for profit?
