MS Hacked

Published on February 22, 2013 By DrJBHL In Personal Computing

This via Reuters. MS stated that no customer info was compromised.

A small number of computers were compromised, and the attack was similar to those at Apple and Facebook.

@starkers re: "our" businessmen exporting jobs to China. The essential problem is that uber-businesses(men/leaders/major stockholders) are no longer tied to / loyal to / care about the country they are from. They have more in common with the uber-rich of other nations than they do with people of their their homeland. The world is their oyster, and we are the grains of sand that make the pearls they harvest possible. They are not "our" businessmen. We have become their wage slaves / servants.

Making the world smaller has put the elites of various nations into closer contact. Its not a conspiracy (IMHO) but the natural confluence of the elites' shared common interests - self interest.

It's human nature to associate yourself with "your own kind", whether it be social, economic, etc. Medieval nobles would fight each other with swords because it was very hard to actually kill someone wearing well made plate and chainmail armor with a sword, whereas swords went through peasants just fine. Nobles of enemy states/fiefs/what-have-you were seen as above serfs that fought for you. We haven't changed all that much...
