Mergers like Broadcom and VMware were just stupid to have been approved. You don't allow two monopolies to merge. On the other hand HPE's merger with Juniper will be good for customers. Its obvious that this will introduce stronger competition against Cisco, and all the other networking companies. This will reduce prices for everyone.
That is a ridiculous position that Seagate maintained. They knew that they were in violation and intentionally fabricated a reason to ship the drives in violation of the ban. There is no excuse. Whoever pushed or approved that sale in flagrant violation of the trade law needs to go to jail. A message must be sent that you will go to prison if you intentionally make a decision like that.
If you look at the bottom of the google.com web page it shows hardly anything but at the very bottom it proudly says "Carbon neutral since 2007". Having Employees Drive to and from work, and the cost of heating/cooling these offices is the reverse of this kind of a policy. We need cleaner air and water. This is not the way Google!
All tools and technology can be used for good or bad purposes. The Indian government's law is reasonable. Holding people accountable for their posts, that can be traced if needed is a reasonable balance point which will protect people and help restore civility to the Internet.
You both are making good points. The basic problem on glasses is going to be what it has always been, vanity. People generally don't want to wear glasses, which is why to a large extent, the contact industry has been going strong for years. If people can be conditioned to think they look better with these things on their faces, as most people do with sunglasses, then perhaps this will have some success. I expect what will be most likely to happen is that the design will be a bit of an origami, where they can fold down flat like today's phones, but then change so that they can be used as glasses when desired.
Likely Oracle will use this lawsuit to request a delay in the resolution of the primary lawsuit from the US DoL. Hopefully the Judge will not grant a stay in the case as Oracle is not likely to win in its new case against the Department of Labor. Hopefully Oracle will be found guilty and be required to make restitution payments for its systematic abuse of its employees.
