Simon Phipps's personal commentary

Tsunami warning [WebTech]

Having been excused with a slapped hand and thus effectively told that there's no problem with ethically suspect behaviour under the Bush administration ("Don't you know there's a war on?"), I'm expecting to see a wave of dubious practice like the TMC Java Petstore fiasco (so subtle that even The (normally sharp) Register got suckered - time they fixed that, surely?) breaking on the industry. Heck, it started just before the verdict was announced, with the court of all things setting the precedent (personally I didn't see it until just before 4pm PST). Those of us who have been vocal critics of Microsoft need to batten down the hatches, we can expect targetted attacks like the ones Rickard Öberg is already facing and worse.
