• Microsoft to Sell Cheaper Xbox in Japan

  Fri Sep 8, 2006
  • I don't think it's the price of the system that is keeping it from selling. I think Japanese gamers just aren't interested. I read a while back that this may be so because the games available for the 360 just don't interest them.

• BellSouth to Eliminate DSL Service Fee

  Fri Aug 25, 2006
  • Once they start sending you a bill, they tack on whatever extra charges they can, because they "have to". I really like how Verizon wasn't going to give up this revenue. They just relabeled the charge to please the FCC. Lays bare how telcos really bill you.

  • I don't think it's code actually. As I recall, it's just information on how to interface to their software. An example is the protocol for connecting to Windows servers. As I recall the antitrust ruling asked that they make information on how to do this more public.

• EU Levies $357 Million Fine on Microsoft

  Wed Jul 12, 2006
  • Microsoft seems to think it's somehow going to just squeak by like it did with the US DOJ. I don't think that's going to happen. They may very well eventually become liable for these fines and even for a company that has billions, these amounts still matter.
