I am not in America, but when she arrived, I was very curious to see how she could revived such a dying zombie. Clients and engineers were leaving as hell. IMHO, she has done a lot to reduce the hemorrhage and make it attractive again.

IMHO, yahoo has bad investors. One of the proof is the firing of Marissa Meyer. As soon as she was hired, the reputation of yahoo has started to improve. All the fights of investors against her until they make her leave had the opposite eff

IMHO, there is a market for desktop linux. My wife and my (old) mother have linux (ubuntu gnome). I provide the (remote) support. I think one of the problems of desktop linux is that it tries to much to mimic windows with its limitatiions.

If an Intel employee go broke and sell privates cryptography keys and IME documentation to a hackers group, how many computer have to be replaced in the world ? Security by obscurity has never worked in long term.

It is strange that I have the opposite experience. When a problem occurs in Linux, the investigation is like a trip in the unknown. At the end, the problem is clearly identified and definitively solved and I have improved my knowledge about

Yes. I am in France and IANAL. When you act as an individual, you are a consumer and as a result, you can always ignore EULA. But beware if you act as a company (even a single people one). It becomes a binding contract.
