The MSFT INTC situation reminds me of this story...

underthesun.cc

The clerk nut-shelled the contrast between the former time and the present, thus-

'Boat used to land--captain on hurricane roof--mighty stiff and straight-- iron ramrod for a spine--kid gloves, plug tile, hair parted behind-- man on shore takes off hat and says-
' "Got twenty-eight tons of wheat, cap'n--be great favor if you can take them."

'Captain says-
' " 'll take two of them"--and don't even condescend to look at him.

'But nowadays the captain takes off his old slouch, and smiles all the way around to the back of his ears, and gets off a bow which he hasn't got any ramrod to interfere with, and says-
' "Glad to see you, Smith, glad to see you--you're looking well-- haven't seen you looking so well for years--what you got for us?"

' "Nuth'n", says Smith; and keeps his hat on, and just turns his back and goes to talking with somebody else.

So where is all the power and money now? MSFT, INTC, DELL.

We know who the INTC killer has been and still is, what about the other guys? Who's going to nail them?? The very desperate state the world economy is becoming says these guys have to be taken down.
