If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.

Nothing to lose, the present moment to gain, the integration with long-delayed Now.

Spencer Waller

I had expected there to be some more hearings. I would have expected him to entertain witnesses, but not engage in the full-fledged discovery that Microsoft wanted.
