The most desirable jobs in the private sector are also filled by graduates of the same few elite universities, and this elitism is perpetuated by all of academia (not just the top few universities). The elite class has constructed this syst

Sony subsidizes the cost of the hardware, in order to sell games. They were not happy with the Airforce doing this and it probably played a role in Sony pushing out an update that disabled Linux on all PS3s.

The exact same thing (auditors cheating on ethics exams) happened at KPMG a few years ago [1]. In KPMG's case, I recall that the ethics exams had been mandated by a regulator after ethics violations had been found at the firm. The most
