"There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat, there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits." {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outer_Limits}
Welcome to Total Business Domination
The Microsoft Octopus will monitor and control your every business decision, financial transaction and purchase, what you can publicly say/claim/opine, eventually, even what you think.
Fools will assign all control of web site editing/display, computer system maintenance and security, data storage and access over to: "Us". (Note: "We" and "Us" means Microsoft, "You" and "Fools", self-explanatory)
We will tell you what operating system and browser to use and ensure that they are only compatible with software that has met our specifications and delivered unto us a nice fat tithe. We will modify and upgrade at whim thanks to the pervasive use of persistent cookies, backdoor programming hacks, and cryptic, unidentifiable CSLID keys. We will require you to provide and confirm personally identifiable information AND to obtain our custom ID cards, Passports, and Wallets, all of which we will have absolute access... for your own good and for the good of our god, Bill Gates. Obviously, We indemnify ourselves in advance & in perpetuity for claims resulting from the loss, theft or corruption of any stored data. For our purposes (and because of our less than stellar record of security, functionality and user-friendliness), nothing can be blamed on an "act of god."
We will act on behalf of the IRS, law enforcement entities and virtually any inquisitive pencil-necked bureaucrat, by servign up any and all of your financial data to them in return for a modest processing fee billable to the taxpayers.
We will act on behalf of the FCC, ensuring that nothing you display on your web site runs counter to prevailing ideas of political correctness or blasphemes our god.
We will act on behalf of third party vendors who will keep you entertained while you keep the consumer economy running.
Free Speech does not exist here. Free Thinking will soon be but a fuzzy memory.
We will act on behalf of you, fool. Resistance is futile and will bring upon you plague, pestilence and the BSOD. As any good Soma dealer knows, lure 'em in for free and bind them. Welcome to the brave new dystopian world of monopoly rule. Bwahahahahahahah
