Do you actually have to get rid of the original? Calvin would have a field day! http://aa.1asphost.com/dlazechk/ch900108.jpg

A better question to ask: what happens to their "soul"? A few years ago the Catholic church decided that human clones have unique souls and are not part of the orinigal person. So now that we have an exact physical copy of a person (well eventually we will), who gets the soul? I can't wait to see the religious debates over this. In fact any religious debate over a new technology that screws with their worldview is usually entertaining.

If there really is a "brain drain" on the rest of the industry. It should send a message to the rest of the industry that in order to compete they need to create work environments similar to the environments at Google and Yahoo.

In addition to making a more stable OS only allowing two weeks to make changes cuts out people trying to submit changes that haven't been completely developed and tested.

This is a common misconception about the capabilities of SVG. Many people think that it can do only one thing: Scalable Vector Graphics -- it's in its name, isn't it? And you cannot blame them for that: this is how they see SVG used these days. But, the same way Flash is mostly used for banner ads and site intros. Does that say anything about the real capabilities of Flash as a application development platform? I used to build apps and small games back in the old days of Flash 5 and I already know that it can be done (probably a lot easier in Flash MX). However, after being involved in real programming I no longer think it is a very good platform for the development of most games -- but it is still a valid choice for most arcade and kids games.

Returning to SVG, with SVG+JavaScript you can do EVERYTHING you did in Flash. Yes, you can develop full fledged applications or games, and a friend of mine is working on a widget library for a SVG editor written in SVG. Can you do a Flash editor in Flash?

With SVG not all things are as easy as they are in Flash (yet). It is a lot easier to build "crappy banner ads and stupid site intros that serve no purpose" with Flash. But, for real application development the complexity is similar. The difference is that with SVG you get to use a collection of open standards and are not tied to one particular platform, vendor or authoring tool while with Flash you are tied to Windows, Macromedia (Adobe Systems now) and Flash.

PS: Yes, I know that for "crappy banner ads and stupid site intros that serve no purpose" you can also use SwiSH and others. You are still tied to Windows though.
