'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The computer was buzzing, chrome ready and waiting

In hopes that a great website soon would be loaded;

The parents were nestled all snug in their bed,

While anger of my school marks danced in their heads;

And dog in her 'kerchief, and I in my chair,

Had just settled down for a long web surf,

When out on the google search there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from link to link to see what was found

Away to the adress bar I flew like a flash,

to take note of the location.

The page so clean and crisp

Gave the lustre of great things below,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a giant N, and a bunch of text,

With a little old nav bar, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be Neowin.

More rapid than eagles the site it loaded,

And it flickered, and flashed, and showed me the options;

"Go to, Forums! Go to, News! Go To, Gallery and More!

Great, News! Great Information! Great, Look and Speed!

To the favorites bar! to the top of the my list!

Now click away! click away! click away all!"....

It's been so long I don't think I can even remember. I think it was down to problems with a bit of a CPU / Motherboard / Graphics Card issue and I either followed a link from another forum or found it on Google! Been here too long! :)

Cripes - in fact just over 10 years. Scary.

I don't remember but I think people dislike me here because I do not connect Neowin to Facebook. Seems like almost everyone here does it. Not that I care. I just feel it makes a difference. Even if a little. From what I seen and tested.

What??? You think people here dislike you? Because you don't link your FB account with the site? That's pretty funny stuff.

I honestly don't remember. When I joined I was known as "Lain" LOTS of speculation to if I was male or female. This place has stuck with me since 2004....

    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
    • The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
