Now they need to do something about UEFI!

Like having it renamed to "Microsoft UEFI"? ;) Wed, 05 Dec 2012 20:19:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Neolander) Comments RE: Comment by Kroc http://www.osnews.com/thread?544354 http://www.osnews.com/thread?544354

Your rebate? Whenever a company has to pay fines, they usually let their customers (i. e., you and me) pay the bill, and maybe adding them as "tax deductible" in their declaration. All kinds of "extra costs" are handed down through trading chains until they finally reach the consumer who cannot avoid paying them. In the end, some clever manager gets a bonus of "having successfully dealt with it".

Those responsible are probably going free.

You know what's horrible? For about a minute, I missed the mock tag and considered this to be a serious comment.

Says something about the current state of UEFI discussions on OSnews, if "discussions" is still the proper term ;) Edited 2012-12-08 07:16 UTC Sat, 08 Dec 2012 07:11:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Neolander) Comments RE[4]: Comment by NuxRo http://www.osnews.com/thread?544568 http://www.osnews.com/thread?544568 Oh hell, I missed it too my first read and voted him down for it. Sarcastic comments are hard to detect when others say the same thing without sarcasm.

Maybe "unnamed" is just taking sarcasm to the literal extreme.
