Wrong. ADT articles about something do not mean that it's officially supported, or part of OS X.
For example, there are articles about MySQL on OS X and Subversion on OS X, and neither of them are shipped with OS X, not is there any special OS support for them.
Nor is the fact that Apple may have helped with SWT development any indication that SWT is part of Java, or part of OS X, or supported by Apple.
Don't blame Apple for patchy SWT support. SWT isn't part of Java, and Apple never claimed to support it. It's up to IBM and the Eclipse project to get SWT working on OS X.
I contributed some articles to Wikipedia back in the day. Nowadays they would be rejected, or some jackass would add [citation needed] to every third sentence and say that original content is inappropriate.
Scrambling like crazy to change strategy after backing the wrong horse.
EA even came out and said that they'd made a mistake in backing the PS3 over the Wii, and were hurriedly trying to start new Wii projects. However, it'll be 2008 before we start to see the results.
So you don't like Zelda, Metroid Prime, Super Paper Mario, Resident Evil, Madden, or Mario Strikers. So, no sports, no FPS, no platformers, no adventures, and as you mentioned, no minigames. So what sort of games do you actually like, that the PS3 has had a steady stream of?
The rest of your argument would only apply if the Wii existed in a vacuum. It doesn't. It's being shut out of the software top ten, its hardware sales are only 10,000 per week ahead of the PS3 at this point...
Well, Thunderbird may not need integrated calendaring, but it either needs to support a standard address book, or have an integrated address book that works and will import data in standard vCard format. Thunderbird fails at both.
Perhaps the issue is that The Simpsons: Hit And Run already ripped off the core GTA gameplay and satirized it, and Rockstar think it's time for The Simpsons to do something different.
To each his own. I like 3D action-adventure platformers, and Ratchet and Clank has consistently been one of the best franchises, if you ignore the execrable "Ratchet: Deadlocked". The best thing about the games is the way the difficulty level is inherently self-adjusting. "Going Commando" was the best of the series, if you want to give it a second look.
Mono is required for the full official GNOME desktop release as described on the GNOME web site. Note the list stating what order to compile things in, and that tomboy is listed.
The fact that you can rip Mono out and still run most of the GNOME desktop does not mean that Mono is not part of GNOME.
Mono is the reason why I switched from GNOME back to KDE.
Well, I wouldn't hold out too much hope for the WordPro, for reasons I mentioned elsewhere in the discussion. I haven't noticed any startup issues myself, but then I run Linux.
I did get a massive boost in performance by replacing the bundled JVM with the OS one (Sun's).

[Opinions mine, not IBM's.]
Uh, buy a region-free DVD player.
But you probably knew that anyway.
(I suggest an Oppo. Good upscaling.)
I didn't have any of the problems you had, and I have my Wii attached to an HDTV.
You're sure you weren't playing the Cube version of Zelda? The Cube version wasn't widescreen. The Wii version was.
You're kidding, right? OS X has some beautiful fonts in the standard image. Zapfino, Helvetica neue, Futura, ...
VMware Workstation 6.0.1 worked fine for me in Kubuntu 7.10, with no patches or workarounds required.
There's also an upcoming Nintendo DS version of Viva Piñata.
It's putting me in a dilemma, because I've never bought any Microsoft software and don't want to start, but it kinda looks like a neat game.

For what it's worth, Metroid Prime 3 has substantially less backtracking than the two previous installments.

The control scheme makes a world of difference in Metroid Prime 3.

Lets look at some games sales stats for October...
DS 135,851
Xbox 360 129,986
Wii 95,800
PSP 91,966
PS3 29,718
And as for hardware sales: "Also worth noting - PS2 outsold PS3 2:1 this week, 360 outsold PS3 4:1, and Wii outsold PS3 3:1 this week."
Ah yes, surely victory for the PS3 is assured! The Wii is only outselling the PS3 3:1 in both hardware and games, Nintendo are doomed!
Well, clearly you're gonna bend over and take it, so why should they care?

Yeah, I'm really confused by the choices available.
I don't want vinyl. Vinyl sucks.
I do want all the music.
Neither option fits what I'm looking for. So I'm going to wait and see if other options become available.
The Mac Book Pro is made in China. I ordered mine from the Apple Store online, and according to the UPS web site it shipped from Shanghai.
There's no "vendor lock" for AAC either, just lots of crap vendors who haven't added support for it yet.
I'm happy with my salary.
What I'm not happy with is the lack of vacation time.
