Well, that one was fairly content-free, Keith. I liked this bit near the end. "Does the government have the foggiest idea what to do about Microsoft?" Levy wondered. He spoke of US District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's much-publicized courtroom demonstration when a clerk easily removed Internet Explorer from the operating system. "Do we really need the elephantine resources of the federal government for a 90-second task?" he asked. He reminded the audience of President Nixon's pursuit of "the goddamn television networks" to illustrate how the Justice Department has abused governmental power in the past to achieve political ends. Non sequitur city there. Remember how derisive everybody was about Jackson and the add/remove button when that first came up? Then, it just proved how dumb he was, to think he was really removing IE. Now, in this particular context, it means something else entirely. The bit about Nixon and the gd TV is even more "totally random" and "beyond bizarre". Nice that they got Friedmans father and son together, though. Cheers, Dan.
