An abuse of power or authority over a market to prevent consumers from buying or using the product or service of a competitor. See conflict of interest and monopoly.
When MyCrudSoft first rolled out sWindles, they made sure that it produced an error message while installing onto a better version of DOS than their own, leading consumers to think the better DOS was flawed, even though sWindles worked with it just fine.
Kneejerk Corruptions, Incorrigible will do anything they can to prevent the owner of a domain from transferring it to another registrar. They did it best when they were also the register with which all the other registrars had to register domains.

An archaic car part that has been made mostly obsolete by tubeless tires. These days an inner tube is much more useful for floating on water, or for sledding on snow. It's a lot more fun that way too.
It's soft, inflated, donut-shaped, usually black, and frequently has patches glued to it where it had leaked.
Smaller versions may still be found in many bicycle tires.

I was shocked when I took that tire off the rim, and found an inner tube inside it.
Watch out for the stem of that inner tube. If you break that part, there's no patching it, and it can leave a nasty scratch on your skin too.

Made to seem less awkward or rude, or to seem politically correct by changing terminology. Frequently amounts to outright lying.
sWindles is frequently euphemized as Windows.
