"Though most people don't know it, Microsoft has, not one, but two new operating systems that it is working on. The first, Vista, many people have heard of. Currently scheduled to ship just after the second coming of Christ, Vista has garnered most of the spotlight. However there is another OS lurking in the basement in Redmond and its name is Singularity (.pdf). So what does Singularity look like? A joke, at least at first glance. But taking a moment to analyze the situation I came up with some interesting observations which I will now share with you."

I say blame the DOJ for breaking up Bell, and thus absolutely and totally destroying the most important and inventive research facility during the 20th century (if not of all recorded history).
Now we have Lucent Technologies... A company that used to be Bell Labs, the research arm of Bell, trying to stay afloat because they have to come up with products to sell (like a damn answering machine).
So Lucent, formerly Bell Labs, is trying to make money by selling answering machines (and other equipment) instead of researching new technologies (like the transistor).
How different would our world be if Bell had not been broken up? Today we still have a monopoly on phone services (Verizon), and phone service which is STILL of lesser quality than what Bell used to offer. We have Verizon with it's insanely high prices (rivaled only by Time-Warner's digital phone service).
Sorry, for some reason the whole failure in computere science line brought out some emotion!
