Bentway, > Do you think Obama's DOJ might address Intel's monopoly position? Monopolies ARE illegal.

Monopolies are NOT illegal, but they are bound by special rules.

Of course, it wouldn't surprise me to see Obama interpret the law in a way that essentially makes monopolies illegal. Then they can begin the arduous task of dismantling Intel and Microsoft. Or levying a hefty "monopoly" tax.

Cause if there's one thing government does best, it's punishing success like high-tech and rewarding failures like the American auto industry.
