Re: The unfullfilled promise
Ok.... my slap at the fries was over the top -- I sometimes like a burger from a fast food joint.
Still, I think this is deeper than irony. Most people don't know why they should go the extra mile to look for news outside the mainstream or to use something besides what 90% of the rest of the world of computer users use on their desktop. They simply don't care.
Perhaps it is just the back woods of New Orleans where I live, but I've come accross an extrodinary number of people who simply don't like to think and don't understand why they should expend any energy to do otherwise. No, I'm not assuming. People have stated openly "I don't like to think."
It is because people don't like to think that Windows has such a stong hold on the market. It is the reason that alternative sources for news will remain on the fringe.
Or perhaps I'm just in a bad mood.
