We would not.This raises the question: Is “consumer” another word for “powerless”?  When “planned obsolescence” goes from being an embarrassment to deliberate corporate planning, then we had better change our perspective.  Instead of the school districts mentioned in your article saying, “Gee whiz, this is terrible and a terrible waste” why don’t they (collectively) tell Google: “We are not going to accept this. Either you reverse the death date and open the code to allow us to continue running the machines where possible, or we will not buy anymore from you.”If school districts did this, what do you think would h...

Rookie Devon Witherspoon unsigned and absent from start of Seahawks camp RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Devon Witherspoon’s first training camp practice was going to be notable for being the highest draft pick in recent memory by the Seattle Seahawks to take the field. The opening day of Seahawks’ training camp on Wednesday instead became notable due to Witherspoon’s absence as he remained the only unsigned player from this year’s rookie class. Witherspoon, a cornerback from Illinois, was the fifth overall pick by the Seahawks, but he was still unsigned as camp kicked off.Seattle coach Pete Carroll sounded hopeful a resolution would come soon. “He’s not here today. He knows everything he needs to know,” Carroll said. “I can’t imagine he won’t be here very soon.”Witherspoon is due a four-year contract worth a guaranteed $31.8 million as the terms of being selected fifth overall, though there appears to be an impasse around bonus money he would be due.Seattle signed running back Zach Charbonnet, one of two second-round picks...
