I totally feel your pain, but this is slashdot.org. Pretty much like a Maccentral and Macnn.com for Linux users, so I really don't see why it's not right for them to bash every OS (and company that makes them) that's more successful than Linux. And so far the only OS that I see them giving positive reaction is BeOS (hint hint).
btw: does the design (not interface) of that RIO Thingy looks just like a Newton....

and before Linux win microsoft in the desktop market, there's no way Linux can win the server market.

Google is defending their rights, not your rights.
The only reason Google gets away with it is because they are helping Viacom take away your right.
fast forward to 2013.
After Google's mapping service failing to gain much market share in China, Google decides to pull out of China (again) because of censorship (again).
