iTunes seems to work fairly, but don't get your hopes up getting the software to actually detect your hardware. Windows USB driver support is actually out of WIne's scope, but surprisingly enough, still being implemented. It's just not in the official release yet.
Hm. I myself find it running a lot just for the interesting games I encounter. Wine works more than adequately for those. Of course, you may not be a gamer, or have enough of games in Linux itself to be satisfied. Or have a console.
"Every other source game" as in, about half of them worked. That's how I read it, anyway.
Portal certainly works a lot better than a year ago, though still not great. Anyway, a LOT of commits were made to the DirectX side of things, so that stuff will probably work better now.
HTML5 will remain a cute and fun buzzword for marketing and sales... and a headache for the web developers.
Honestly, HTML5 is designed to remove headaches. It's even rather easy to add support for HTML5 on old browsers (rendering errors excluded, of course). If enough developers, or at least big enough companies (like Google) use it, browsers and users won't have a choice other than to upgrade. And heck, IE9 supposedly does have much better HTML5 support.
That doesn't make sense. Since when do cross-platform apps *have to* be any slower than platform-specific apps? Sure, they may run better or worse among different platforms, but that's a different comparison than the one phizi0n was making.

Can't Compiz do this? I'm pretty sure it can.
Do they force an ad down your throat when you're trying to access some of the OS's core functionality? If not, this isn't comparable.
Worst. Idea. Ever.
the idea is to thank employees for all their work
You mean the idea is to have less employees use a certain competitor's phone.
Please, no more exploitation of technology to display ads everywhere.
Of course, nobody's going to listen to me.
Quotes work well around (parts of) error messages, but I guess you already knew that as well. Anyway, ichthyoboy seems to have posted something great.
Google "R language", or "R code", or something similar. It's search engine searching 101.
File a bug to the Rhythmbox devs?

It is able to use .NET 2.5 at least partially, so maybe? Your best bet is to just try it out, and file a bug on Wine's Bugzilla if it doesn't.
I really can't see any point in this anymore, it takes forever to get the configuration correct to run crud like notepad.exe.
How many years has it been since you've tried running Wine?!
I mean, sheesh, sure, it doesn't run anything and everything. But the project certainly made leaps and bounds in compatibility and what *can* be run.

Skip the Cheetos, they just dirty your keyboard and mouse. ...Actually, I'm not sure I want to see the state of your keyboard and mouse, now.
That spam is called humor, you know.
I could have gotten first, and yet I didn't comment. You know why?
Because I'm not a jackass whose only interest it is to get "first" posts.
He probably means the self-closing tags. "Do I or do I not close an img tag?"
Of course, experienced developers are well aware of these, and know why they're self-closing in the first place.

Yup. And the other OSes are doing the same thing. Are you trying to make a point here or what?
Why are they still trying to sue the main people around Linux? It just costs them money, with nothing in return...

Euugh. I'm sure that demo could be a lot faster in other browsers. Aren't they doing anything sneaky in the background code?

How's that work?
Well, you can't expect to get away with more than one girlfriend.
Why does the gamers distro have to be unavailable at a time like this?! I was kinda looking forward to seeing what that is all about. :(
Vorbis is actually up to snuff, but you're right about Theora.
