IMHO the problem Apple is bunging 5400 RPM hard drives into the latest generation Macbook Pros by default to get the battery life. The first thing I would do after ordering the smallest possible drive is to put in a nice fast 7200 RPM spinner. Or an SSD drive if I had more dollars than sense.
In more words, can it run apps written in PHP, Ruby, Python, Java, etc. with SQL server database back ends? No.
Can it be load-balanced, clustered, etc. on servers in a data center? Well, maybe if you tried hard enough. Heck, you do anything if you try hard enough. But in one word, No.
This reminds me of Nero. Once a nice, light-weight CD burn software product, it is now so full of other cr*p that you have to spend 10 minutes going through the install menu pruning almost everything off.
Thumbs down Opera. Those that needed it, already installed IIS or Apache on their machines. Those that wanted to share sh*te already installed Limewire or some other evil P2P product.
The Motorola 68000-series of processors. No segments (32-bit addressing), plenty of registers -- acknowledged by all as the superior processor at the time.
I must be that "some other lifeform". I can't stand or use curved or "Ergonomic" keyboards such as the Microsoft un-Natural keyboard.
I'd rather have my wrists rest flat on the table since I find that far more comfortable than having my hands rotated slightly, thus resting my wrists at an angle (which starts to hurt after awhile).
Good luck trying to sell an operating system product with "Windows" in its name. Your Google Fu is very weak -- citation is here: Microsoft vs. Lindows.
As more and more people have gotten on the Internet, the median IQ has come way down. Thus the explosive growth of MySpace, FaceBook, Digg, and especially now, Twitter. After all, just what sort of knowledge, wisdom, experience and depth can be uttered 140 characters (or less) at a time?
For example, the Twitter version of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace would go like this: "Some sh*t happened to a bunch of people in a foreign land."
We're sure you get in-depth and very useful feedback in 140 characters or less. Why don't you setup an online support forum for that kind of dialog with your customers?

Even worse, Top Gear Australia rates engine power in kilowatts...
You mean what Microsoft has been doing since 1990-something?

Is it a threat to other server solutions?
In one word, No.

They'll use it as an excuse to take even more of your money every month. Don't want that now, do we?
Given the choice between a 256GB SSD and a 1.5TB HD, I'll go for capacity every time...
When was the last time a passenger airplane flew at 80,000 to 100,000 feet?
Correction:
iPhone + iPod touch: 40+ million.

blow everything up
That opening scene in 2001 with the apes smashing the cr*p out of everything is just so apropos to the human 'being'...

More like blindingly intense blue LEDs period on all current hardware. Give me back my soft red LEDs...

Don't fool yourself. Google search for English results blows as well. Thanks to SEOs, spammers and bloggers.

Well, they got a trademark on "Windows", so getting a patent on "voting" or "opining" is a next step...
It's up there with "Blogosphere"...

That's called "smoke signal mode". I believe indigenous North American peoples have prior art on this...
Amazon's definition of a "cloud" is a whole bunch of XEN-based VPSes running in less than a handful of data centers here and there.
Resilience is an exercise left to the customer.
All you need now is a 7.4 mile long extension cord that can survive the ravages of the open sea to plug the dang thing into a power grid.
Maybe it is time to end this man-made idiocy of nations and borders?
Not until you can develop Pre apps in something other than Javascript/HTML/CSS...
