Bully
The
rabid FTC aside and amok, the U.S. Justice Department has had little stomach to
enforce antitrust violations. The Americans let Microsoft off the antitrust hook
with a smirk, while the Europeans fined them $1.16 billion. Now Intel, its
corporate culture an apparent breeding ground for bully bullshitters, as
evidenced by
recent top brass opinions regarding "patent fairness," face their own
European antitrust swat. The European Commission, which is the executive arm of
the European Union, will announce Wednesday its fine for Intel's antitrust
shenanigans. One thing these little men don't do well is learn social graces.
