Misleading article. Conveniently, they didn't mention in the article which
question that was actually asked in the survey. If I'm not mistaken, it was a
question of which new device people intended to buy (PC, Mac or iPad), not if
they were going to switch away from Windows.
The survey results found on the Avast website seem to have totally different
numbers from the article:

HTC's CEO got upset at media reports that it was being forced to pay Apple top
dollar in a settlement.
Peter Chou (the man who regularly hangs out with the likes of Dr Dre) was
speaking at a Japanese product launch when he was asked about the mooted $6 - $8
(£3.50 - £5, AUS$5.5-7.5) figure HTC was paying Apple for each Android phone it
sold.
"I think that these estimates are baseless and very, very wrong. It is a
outrageous number, but I'm not going to comment anything on a specific
number," said Chou.
"I believe we have a very, very happy settlement and a good ending," [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

<blockquote>a loss could harm the FTC’s credibility</blockquote>
Really? More like it harms the reputation of those responsible for this mess and
those currently in charge at the FTC. The FTC will survive regardless of how
successful or not. What we need to take note of are the people who allowed this
farce to get so far.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Maybe Google chould provide an option for a user to pick Google's search
algorithm or the algorithm defined by FairSearch. I'd guess 10% of Google users
would try that algorithm for grins and giggles; about 0.00001 might use it going
forward (i.e., forget to un-select it).
FairSearch would probably throw a tantrum about needing to know exactly how
Google operates and the derivation of all its metrics, but those are trade
secrets. If FairSearch is so smart and knows so much they shouldn't need more
than they already claim to know.
Hosting other organization's algorithms might actually be a way derive some
cool, domain specific results. Of course, hosting isn't free....

Doesn't this guy read the news? Doesn't he follow the
debate? This guy is an Egyptian. He is living in denial.
He needs to go. All he cares about is preserving his
own fiefdom.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
