Microsoft Joins President Bush’s Science and Technology Council | |
|
||
| Time: 08:29 EST/13:29 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Microsoft has joined a diverse set of leaders from industry, academia, the non-profit sector and government selected to assist the administration of President George W. Bush with some of the difficult challenges the United States faces in the realm of science and technology. The President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), which convened its first meeting on Wednesday in Washington, D.C., includes 22 leaders from such companies as Intel, Lockheed Martin, and Dell Computer; universities including Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Georgia Institute of Technology, and North Carolina State University, and such non-profit groups as the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Semiconductor Industry Association. The council will assist the administration by developing recommendations on a wide range of issues -- from utilizing technology in the war on terrorism and investigating new ways to reduce energy consumption to reducing barriers to broadband availability. | ||

There should also be typical, non-corporate computer USERS on this board to keep everyone honest and consumer oriented.
The last thing we really need, as consumers, is a handfull of these big corporate 'policy setters' together in one room without we, the consumers, being represented. But then again, this is the Republican Bush administration. Consumers aren't part of the picture. TL |

#3,
I said what I said. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't read anything into it. #4, If you aren't concerned about corporate influence on our Government, including what goes on behind closed doors and during elections, then, well, let's just say I DO care... As for the rest, I don't really need a refresher in US Government, but thanks :) BTW... I AM a republican. That doesn't mean I have to turn a blind eye to everything or accept everything I see, or have a desire to have the CONSUMERS (I purposely did not say Citizen) of the US represented in such matters. Happy Holidays! TL |

#8, sure, you have a million things to say and spread your liberal BS, heck, I can respond with a million things to shoot down your BS, and add my own views.
The point is, it's just YOUR view, and you obviously have a very limited one at that... try opening your mind a little bit, ok? |
