This is very untrue, on almost all levels, even if it is true for the poster himself.
I've been a techie my whole life, while my wife on the other hand, can barely work the tv remote. You could go as far to say that I'm obsessed with some things. However, she is also obsessed with something I can't understand; cooking. To me it makes no sense how someone could enjoy cooking so much! I'm sure she feels the same way.
However, were both fine with it, because we know it is what interests the other, and makes us happy. If you know who your spouse is before you marry them, you shouldn't have to change who you are.
And here I was thinking I had submitted a great story! Anyways, I use Linux primarily, and skype often with family members. I hope I don't have to re-setup everything as a result of discontinued compatibility. It's doubtful that they would continue to support versions of linux. I can see them supporting apple software as they do for Office, but I'd be willing to bet linux users will be hung out to dry.
I think it was apparent what I mean. But, I'll spell it out. Big companies will not be willing to open source everything while they are raking in profits. The comment was meant in disregard to those mentioned
I know it would be a question of retrofitting a stadium if not already equipped, but wouldn't a dome be much more flexible in its use? What if there is a strong wind, or rain? wouldn't that make the balloons unstable, whereas a dome would still work perfectly? With a dome, you could even have a massive HVAC unit to cool it down somewhat.

there will no be any "openness" of any kind. There is just too much financial gain at stake (not that it is a good thing).

Might as well beta test your apps on a B4 unit.
