Sometime ago I conjectured that Microsoft made certain changes to IE8 to force web standards forward and drop backwards compatibility as default (a very un-Microsoft move) because of the need for the web to break out of the blinkered IE6 / Desktop-Browser view of content otherwise Microsoft would find itself unable to compete in the mobile space. It's been over a year since that article and in such a short period of time it has become ever clearer that Microsoft's mobile offerings, and their overall mobile platform strategy are failing against the dominant iPhone, the newcomer Android, and a re-invigorated Palm with WebOS.

I do recall something about it, but can't remember the specifics. As I recall, he was just offering an opinion, and I think a boycott was not called for over that.
Honestly, only a single payer (medicare for all) makes any sense, and would lead to any real reform. The democrats took that off the table so early though, there was never any hope of reform. I guess we just have to wait until more people are denied coverage from their inability to pay their increasing insurance premiums.
Americans are downright embarrassing sometimes.

heard of the Whole Foods plan? and some idiots actually boycotted that store because the CEO dared to propose an alternative that made sense.
