if someone from ms could basically hire a couple of google people to figure out how to price their poo poo better it'd be a hit

cellphone/radio jammers are real and cool but will also get ur rear end arrested in the US

some countries install them in prisons/schools/legislature chambers (not kidding on the last one lol)

iirc a dude in florida got busted a few weeks ago for driving around with a cell phone jammer in his suv

they found him because metropcs noticed a lot of drops in a certain moving area over a period of time in the morning/afternoon, called the fcc, they set up monitors along the route and found him because he turned it on during his commute and took the same path each day

the funny thing is that the DOJ under bush did VASTLY more to investigate and prosecute companies than the DOJ under obama ever has

there was an article a while back in the nyt magazine iirc about why this has happened; essentially, after the big wins against Enron and their financial guys, the rulings got gutted/overturned by higher courts and the doj got gunshy about going after individuals, instead preferring to wring large cash settlements and fines out of the companies. this has worked insofar as they've gotten record settlements against banks and other corporate entities, but those settlements are barely a couple of percent of their annual profits so it's just an easy cost of doing business and nothing changes.

Google has the Apple and msft problem of being too big to actually fail, but in a structural way. long before poo poo got really bad the adults would come in, fire half the workforce, and focus on core competencies like search and Adwords and related techs.

btw, I have it straight from a Google employee that the official internal explanation of why Google Reader was killed off was:

1. The only department that would make sense for Google Reader would've been Google+
2. Google+ didn't want Reader because they didn't want machine generated content

which doesn't make any loving sense since most RSS content is directly created by humans, but whatever, NewsBlur is reasonably priced and wildly better than Google Reader
