Apparently everyone else is having less sex so they can spend more time on the internet. The joke is on you JWT! I didn't have any sex to give up in the first place!
Don't get me wrong, I hate Apple as much as the next guy, but seriously - it really may not need an SDK. I know this may be hard for all you opinionated open source zealots who think you know everything to believe, but has even a single one of you actually built a dashboard widget in OS X? If you had and you knew what their real capabilities were this idea of a SDK-less embedded device that still allows for rich 3rd party development is not so asinine.
1) I see your point. Coming from your perspective you've been betrayed by GRUB and Ubuntu. I've had problems with GRUB in the past myself, and until recently have been a staunch supporter of LILO. Have you by chance tried picking that instead to see if it gives you better luck? Occasionally machines have firmware configurations or drive topology that GRUB still just doesn't seem to like. Its far more rare these days but still completely possible. Keep in mind you ARE using an operating system that was not pre-tested and pre-installed for the machine you're using. Unforseen complications can arise.
2) I'm only making a guess but it really *does* sound like you might have a bad harddrive. If the boot sector failed it really could have been working fine with windows for years until you tried to write something new to it, exposing the hardware failure by corrupting otherwise accessible data in the master boot record with a failed write. One way to check this would be to try re-installing windows of course, or any other distro/operating system.
3) I don't like Ubuntu either because its failed me the only two times I've tried it as well. Perhaps your machine is a "fringe case" like mine was. Issues and workarounds (or at least confirmation of non-working status) based on your motherboard's IDE/SCSI/SATA harddrive controller could exist online.
Anyway... Thats all the advice I have for you. I wish you luck.
Narcocide prefer mellow yellow over mtn. dew. Otherwise, song is late chapter in story of life. Anyone else?

Joking aside, it begs the question; whats so wrong with this guy's life that he'd rather live in an MMORPG? Maybe his friends shouldn't be asking how to save him from the game but rather what it is about his life that the game saved him from first?
Just for the record this man is responsible for Samurai Jack and The PowerPuff Girls arguably the most influential and creative American cartoon works of the post-anime era.
... the entire RIAA should be dragged out into the streets and paraded through town so we can jeer and throw rotten vegetables at them.
In fact, they should make a national holiday out of it. There can be a big parade... and thousands of vendors selling rotten vegetables. Yea. That's exactly how I dreamt it.
Hahhaha. No, we're disrespectful and threatening because you disagree with us and you're morons.:-P
Seriously though, while that's a very good point I often find myself wondering why these people don't spend more energy trying to figure out why there is so much negative energy directed towards them instead of just telling themselves that its "just becase we disagree."

No, you're not.
Its because they're all too busy playing Metroid and Zelda to go out and buy Galaxy yet.

Do your research kids.

WATCH Samurai Jack.
WATCH the PowerPuff Girls.
I mean *really* *really* WATCH them. This man is the man for the job. If you really see his previous work you will KNOW its true.
Just for the record this man is responsible for Samurai Jack and The PowerPuff Girls arguably the most influential and creative American cartoon works of the post-anime era.
Watch them all. Watch them many times. In order, out of order... your perception will be changed. This man is incredible.
