The code is bad, from all accounts. Making it cloudy or servicey doesn't really help, except to throw hardware at it - and there may be issues which hardware cannot help.
Oddly, many people found runlevels completely intuitive (although why XWindows is "5" starts to get a little hazy).
Unix is about getting lots of rope, typing it in knots, and optionally hanging yourself.
systemd, and Windows, and OSX is about poking a black box with a stick using only appropriate incantations for fear of going out of the One Correct Way to do things.
Why do you need to do all three? Many people use the Web as a data feed, and don't do any of this "Web 2.0" stuff - not I, since clearly I'm participating here. Why assume everyone is a 15yo girl on Facebook? Why even have a spec?
Just like CEOs who take the credit for the $ savings of outsourcing, then take the credit for improved service by bringing the work back, but somehow keep their jobs. Or the dorks who think centralizing IT assets (hello Mainframe) is good, then later decide that distributing all the computing (hello desktop) is good, claiming credit for being revolutionary twice.
The Chinese will move in like they did in Africa, bring in all the high and mid level people, import some cheap labor to supplement the local labor pool, then take all the profits back to Beijing. Cue Greenlandian outrage on 10-20 years.
Why listen to some hipster dbag who wants to be intimate and is "fond" of the trains when you can pack an extra 10% people on there for free? Who pays for her "fondness" ?
Yes I know she reconsidered, but why does everyone get a vote in this kind of thing? If they jacked the price up of the tickets and ran more cars, she'd bitch about that too.
Amazing how the public dialog is now "how to fix socialized medicine" when just a short time ago it was more like "should we have socialized medicine?" Well played, Mr Obama.
"The greatest shortcoming of the human race is the inability to understand the exponential function."
Nobody wants to die, but now that society is picking up the endless tab for life-extending medicine on people who typically are outside the years in which they're productive members, surely some decisions need to be made.

Why not just sit down and use a laptop rather than trying to be Star Trek? You might actually get work done, and save a ton of money in the process.
Being wealthy must be nice. You can't smugly buy expensive products without it.
But for all that work, why switch, when the current setup works fine?

Because it was never good in the first place.

Do people really fall for this?
It's NYC - the entire place stinks like ass.
Just like Google - YOU are the product, not the search (or other) services.
And why would have stepped ON Jabba's tail instead of over it?
"only" 550 dollars. Most people spend less than that on a whole computer, or don't HAVE 550 dollars.

"it will cause untold headaches for developers, admins and less-technical end-users"
Wait, we're talking about the endlessly incompatible point-oh-oh-one releases of the Java plugin, right?
Tablets are about being a consumer, or in many cases of "free" software, you're the actual product.
"A team working at Tampere University, Finland has discovered the virus that causes type 1 diabetes."
So everyone with Type1 diabetes has the virus? Not because they're corn-syrup guzzling fatties?

You realize that NFS and iptables have almost nothing in common right? Oh wait, you DONT, else you wouldn't have written such a crap post.
Buzzwordy market-speak summary pointing to the personal blog of an unknown company?
Thanks, Timothy.
Nice to keep beating the 'ACA' drum, but it's really Obamacare. You can't polish a turd.

and comes free with Windows. What other game has you endlessly clicking on things, hoping that something will do... anything.
No, it's that you're a slave.
You know if you have OS specific software that you need for work, there's a solution for that...
