Sorry dude, but you totally missed it with this composition; Intel was forcing buyers not to carry competitions’ products, have been trying to sue others (legitimately operating within valid agreements) out of existence, and yes, stifling competition, on both sides of “the pond”. You should do yourself a favor and delete this dribble, (and I agree Obama is worrisome). Take Microsoft as an example–they litigate legit business out of existence all the time, and they break their own APIs to prevent interoperability: they weren’t ordered to “give away trade secrets”, they were ordered to stop abusing a monopoly position, to document their specs truly and stop breaking and changing their own protocols to prevent competition–they’re not just an OS company, you know; some of orders weren’t legit consequences (like un-bundling the media player that’s freely downloadable), but they weren’t undue some dealing with. Basically you’ve tried to marry two non-issues. In nerd terms, “fail” (with love).
p.s. I admire Microsoft.
p.s. again, did they actually bar companies from merging that are out of their jurisdiction? Seriously? Write something on that! (Though please, please, please, have it checked by various people in the know in various areas of in-the-know before publishing.)
