Next time someone talks to you about monolithic companies, ask them if they remember when IBM made computers and Microsoft was locked in a death-struggle with it biggest rival, Lotus; and a New York Times article about Microsoft would mention Apple's products only in passing.

Guessing, but I don't think this will play well in Gadsden.
While mourning Malcom Young, let's not forget about Malcom and Angus' brother George, who just died a few weeks ago. George was the guitarist for the '60s band The Easybeats, and he helped his younger brothers get their record deal and produced their first albums.

IBM still makes computers. Granted, it is just Big Iron now running one of z/OS, Linux or AIX. They sold off the Lenovo PC product line & name some time ago. Looks like it was about 3 years ago the deal for Lenovo was finalized.

He who pays the piper calls the tune?
This is a common refrain from the rich to the poor throughout history: they pay for something, so they must be allowed to control it, and to control the people that receive it. Indeed, that it is so consistently demanded shows why massive spending is incompatible with a free people. As long as other people pay for you to survive, they will demand to control how you live.
Oh, NOW you think doing identity politics is bad for America?
... Van Jones said, "Bannon is trying to create this sense of an aggrieved identity, frankly, of a white aggrieved identity group that’s under siege by everybody. And this is that in its worse form. So, you’re not supposed to vote as a father, you’re not supposed to vote as a woman. You’re supposed to vote as a member of this identity group against the world. And if that works, that is very, very bad for the Republican Party and it’s very, very bad for our country."

Oxygen is supposed to be toxic to such microbes, called methanogens, but the newly named Candidatus Methanothrix paradoxum thrives in it.
In fact, 80 percent of the methane in the wetland under study came from oxygenated soils. The microbe's habitat extends from the deepest parts of a wetland, which are devoid of oxygen, all the way to surface soils.
"We've always assumed that oxygen was toxic to all methanogens," said Kelly Wrighton, project leader and professor of microbiology at Ohio State. "That assumption is so far entrenched in our thinking that global climate models simply don't allow for methane production in the presence of oxygen. Our work shows that this way of thinking is outdated, and we may be grossly under-accounting for methane in our existing climate models."
More work needs to be done before researchers can determine exactly how much more methane is out there, but the microbe's habitat appears to be global.
Merkel fails to assemble a government in Germany. The CDU and the CSU were counting on the Free Democrats, a center-right party, to help them assemble a majority, but the Free Democrats will understandably not enter into a coalition with the Greens What happens next is unclear -- Merkel will probably not call for another election since recent polls indicate that the CDU will suffer further losses if there is an election now, but that means a caretaker government for the indefinite future. The populist AfD, along with the Free Democrats, are pretty close to being able to assemble a government on their own if another election is held soon. Hang on to your hats; things are about to get wild on the Continent.

"Genocide! We've been here 10,000 years! It's ours! We got here first! What did YOU do to deserve this continent?!".
*We arrived with firearms, horses, wheeled carts, clocks, compasses, the printing press, a common alphabet, and powerfully-intertwined religious and governmental leadership, and noticed upon our arrival that in 10,000 years you had neither developed nor integrated any of these society-strengthening developments. Why do you ask?*
