There is a very big difference between hardcore developers / computer geeks (us) and the rest of the world. Linux for many is just not as dummy proof as Windows is. (Windows crashes and is buggy but rebooting the thing fixes things, where as if you mess with the kernel on a linux machine, you can cause big trouble).
Do total usage of power really matter that much? Isn't it more efficient if Google needs 100 servers that uses 100W of power than me needing 10W of power to run 1 server?
Why do studios care whether the movie is sold through DVDs or downloaded? All they care about is total revenue and profit anyway. An additional revenue is always good, and the people who would buy/rent a DVD vs the people that will download the movie probably wouldn't overlap that much.
It is probably a good move for them because:
1. Lower the cost as they don't have to spend as much in development (eventually) for their own OS.
2. They are in a niche now since Linux has a great following
3. Did I say we are all Linux lovers?

So the question is: How is Google planning to get away with selling this information to companies?
That's why the national savings rate is negative in this country.

Why does everyone complain about Microsoft's software while using it? It never makes any sense.
If they get hacked it's our money anyway...

Great for you and me (I use TaxAct), but what's preventing from other companies into being sloppy too?
Companies should be penalized for something so severe to let them know that they need to do a better job in the future.

HD-DVD Hacked (again)... This is just going to be a never-ending cycle.
You just know it's coming....
If it's internet radio, why would whether it's hosted in US and Canada matter? It's played online anyway right?
