I guess we all - people who pay attention - knew for a long time that Miguel is Microsoft's shill. People who drink and laugh with people like Ballmer don't deserve much trust, IMO.
IMHO, they use GNOME by default in the vain hope that commercial software developers will have easier time releasing closed-source binaries for their distros (which is quite disgusting, of course). You need to buy a QT commercial license to do that stuff (at least the payments are used to support QT development). Anyway - few people _do_ that stuff. And I think that's basically the only reason GNOME is by default.
As for "all" popular distros, the word "commercial" is missing. Or at least "commerce-oriented" (and, yes, yes, Ubuntu is one of these). PCLinuxOS, Mepis are very popular and nice KDE-based distros. PCLinuxOS is particular, I find it has a healthy, free, even "scene"-like attitude to it.
... I hate to say it, but the most practical secure kind of IM right here right now is probably Skype. Well - you read that story about German police and Skype's chat traffic (like other kinds) is carried over the same encrypted p2p transport as its voice traffic.
Web-apps, terminals... Universal streaming of TV, radio, phone, etc signals over IP. You're like an IBM rep in the 50s about 5 computers being top for the world.
Why not? Moderately overclocked CPUs generally don't consume much more power (they're still on idle usually, and when they are not they finish their tasks _faster_), they are not louder, they are not less reliable even. Usually overclocking these days is just reversing "market positioning" and restoring proper, designed CPU speed. And if you ever do video encoding or play CPU-bound sims you can never have enough.
But I like silent systems too. But overclocked ones could be silent as well. The days of PIV and early Athlons are long gone thankfully and modern CPUs are pretty energy-efficient again.

Eees are missing.
That's the essence of cellphones - doing a million things but SHITTY.
... your predictions always sucked and they do now. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Oh, and thanks for nothing!
Their page says:
Apple: 1st through 5.5th generation iPod, iPod Mini and 1st generation iPod Nano
(not the Shuffle, 2nd/3rd gen Nano, Classic or Touch)
So - only really old iPods are supported, right?
How is MacBookPro not a Linux laptop?

I'm sorry, but it looks really fugly. Even with my dislike of thumb qwerty-keyboards aside.
Apparently it smoked it.

... Microsoft to close their software business.
Allah akbar!
One of the most wow-inspiring comments I've ever read on slashdot.
I suppose there's no IT involved in modern "agriculture". OK.
$200 buys one for you, one for a kid.

No "PC"s on "backbones" I think.
...someone in MPAA just shat himself.
Who cares whether they have "always been" friendly or not? Current lines from both manufacturers are very OC friendly.
