I didn't realize that a corporation had feelings. MS has made its
"feelings" and plans to counter OSS clear.
What about the "low blows" that MS perpetrates on the OSS-using public?
We are not talking about what MS's or any other entities legal rights are,
we are talking about the right thing to

I think it is a legit opinion. If MS doesn't like it, they can sue. I

The study meant to evaluate the usefulness or effectiveness of laptop in

Seems to me that the laptop (or desktop) computer is but one factor in student
learning.
For instance, if the kids play computer games on their laptops, they'll
perfect their video game skills. This is going on all daylong at every library

I've emailed Andrew a response, and cc'ed this list. I'd suggest that
those who disagree with his views on network neutrality contact him
directly, also with a cc to the list. It'd be interesting to hear his

I wonder why, if microsoft has a hand in manipulating barnes & noble
offerings, so many LINUX books are available at B&N? Seems to me that would
be a much greater threat than openoffice. And what about PlayStation 2 tips

Andrew,
I recently received a link to your article revisiting the network
neutrality question, and I thought I'd point out a few things. You
correctly identified the bogeyman in the MySpace issue, but appear to
have fallen for a similar trick with the network neutrality debate.
I'll point out the

Here is an important thing to keep in mind: One study answers absolutely
nothing. This needs to be drilled into the heads of every journalist

Fact: Microsoft has resprted to a lot of underhanded tactics in the past. At
least the courts ruled so.
Opinion: the rest of Phil's comment is his opinion. That opinion isn't
either slanderous at all. If it were *anything*,
it might be libelous, but it isn't libelous on its face. Microsoft is NOT
I haven't read the full study, but there's nothing surprising about
the findings described below, and they are consistent with what has
been found in other research (see, for example, my own book, Laptops
and Literacy, soon off the press from Teachers College Press).
