Hubris - definition: Microsoft's Passport

Written by Stephen Bucaro


Continued from page 1

If you sign up for Microsoft Network (MSN) or for a free Hotmail email account, you will be forced to sign up for Microsoft's Passport wallet service. You can sign up for a Passport account with a non-Microsoft email account at Microsoft's Passport website.

To sign up, you need only an email address and a password. After you sign up, you can choose to add personal information to your profile. Then you can indicate if you want to share your information with companies that use Passport. If you choose to share your personal information, be aware that Microsoft shares it with every passport website you visit, and those websites are not required to adhere to Microsoft's privacy policy.

The Internet does not need a master account repository for users personal information. Users don't need to remember separate usernames and passwords for each website. Every Internet user has memorized two or three different email addresses and half a dozen different passwords that they use everywhere.

If an Internet master account repositiory is desired, it should NOT be owned or operated by Microsoft. A repository of personal account information must be operated by an honest, independant company.

Note: In April 2000, U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson ruled that Microsoft violated two sections ofrepparttar 1890 Sherman Act. He concluded that Microsoft was an illegal monopoly that used anti-competitive means to maintain its dominance in Intel-based operating systems.

The final step taken, was to decreaserepparttar cost ofrepparttar 104408 books, instead of drop shippingrepparttar 104409 orders, I negotiated low prices for my best sellers and ordered more at wholesale price, these books when ordered were shipped by from my home office and not drop shipped as before, of course I had to reserved an extra room for book stocking but it was worth it. The advantage of shipping yourself is that you have more control ofrepparttar 104410 postal cost and better tracking ofrepparttar 104411 orders.

I also decide to sell books of my own which doesn’t mean books written by me, but books and information that I had reprint rights. I started buying books with reprint rights and soon a whole section ofrepparttar 104412 bookstore was dedicated to these informational products. Every time an order came in for one of these products it was practically 100% profit, little or almost nothing was spend onrepparttar 104413 cost of printingrepparttar 104414 book.

Currentlyrepparttar 104415 bookstore has two permanent employees and sometimes up to five part times working atrepparttar 104416 high season. A high steady annual income inrepparttar 104417 last five years andrepparttar 104418 fascination ofrepparttar 104419 bookselling business has been tempting me to abandon my current job as a science teacher and take selling books online as a permanent job. Will see.
