For some reason I had it in my head that tomorrow was the 18th. Hm. Anyway, are we expecting much from the tribunal meeting? I had assumed that was just a formality of pausing the appeals process and that any negotiation with the CMA was happening outside of it. I guess unless they have something more definitive than a pause to tell them about?

If that’s true I hope it is flat. I’ll throw my current one out and replace it. I hate the design of it so much.

Good stuff. I wonder what the price will be and how much smaller it will be.

Damn. I haven’t touched in a year and they’re making a slim. I really need to start buying and use it asap.

Don’t be afraid for Xbox Live server crashes. Blame this when it happens.

There is a reason why the merger agreement does not require countries like Australia to approve it.

Translation: We know that Microsoft could yeet us out of existence, so we are gonna allow others to make the decision for us.

I don’t think this is accurate. The meeting is about the parties’ recent application to pause the proceedings, not to give permission to the merger.

We could see an agreement with the CMA that could speed up the merger, but I don’t think that’s the job of the CMC and CAT here.

Waiting for the UK to tell them how to decide…

? Aus and other commonwealth countries (Canada) were wailing on the CMA, not US

I know. My apologies. It’s a generalized frustration rooted in the workings of Australia as a whole.
