British Crown getting pulled through the muck more and more. First the Queen had questionable off shore investments in schemes to defraud the pool. Now Prince Charles has been exposed for lobbying for legal changes that benefit his secret off shore investments.

@mlnews Yeah, the British crown had such a spotless and stellar reputation before these stories... Truly a shining beacon of only doing the right thing for many centuries now.

In general. They were a decade late to computerize internally, they were still on 1970s mainframes well into the 1990s, they can't make software or outsource software to save their lives, they are famous for being antiquated and backwards internally, even their resorts were a decade late at getting wifi.

Oh, and Disney didn't have its own URL for like 15 years. They were the last large company to have a web presence for their company.

What would you expect from a company founded by a xenophobic, racist, anti-semite f@ckbag? Walt Disney wasn't exactly forward thinking, not sure why you think the filthy profit whore of a company he left behind would be.
