Analyst: embedded Linux costs moreAnalyst: embedded Linux costs morePosted Jul 17, 2003 13:45 UTC (Thu) by ccchips (guest, #3222)Parent article: Analyst: embedded Linux costs more All you have to do is remember the Heinz ketchup commercials from the 1960's to understand where these so-called "analysts" get their data for comparison. For awhile there, back when very large numbers of Americans were getting really tired of false advertising, the Federal government actually had people on staff that *tested* the advertisers' claims. It didn't take the private media operators long to start discrediting these watchdog organizations, event othe point of claming that the workers never showed up for work (of course, they would pick some really glaring example, and the rest of the hard workers could go pound sand.) Maybe we need to start privately funding an organization that will watch the other privately-funded organizations and make sure they tell the truth. Note: One of my friends in college told me that he was in a marketing class where the teacher talked about the ketchup commercial. Apparently, Heinz was putting their competitor's product in the oven and their own in the refrigerator, and then demonstrating the thickness by dumping the bottles out at the same time.
