1) Windows 7 is arguably the best desktop OS out there right now for the vast majority of the public. Even many of the Apple fans I know, myself included, have been forced to concede that Windows 7 is better than OS X in many ways.
Your "arguably" is an early contender for "Understatement of the Year (2013)". You must be very proud.
Am I misunderstanding something about what you are saying? The article has one or arguably two examples of companies that didn't use one of your "blessed three" models.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation is non-profit. I suspect the glut of stories is to do with the number sold and the perceived gap between price and capability. Certainly where I live (UK) supply is not a problem. Even RS, who couldn't fulfil my order in reasonable time, have now cleared their backlog (or so they claim). I cancelled my RS order and got one overnight from another supplier. You can buy them in store now here (eg at Maplin).
RS components have had serious delays. I cancelled my order with them and instead ordered from CPC. It took approximately 48 hours for RS to refund my money and almost exactly the same amount of time for CPC to deliver.
I cancelled my RS order on Tuesday morning and ordered from CPC (this was at 10:01am). I received my Pi at about 11am this morning. approximately 49 hours from order to delivery!
If you're in the UK, order from CPC. I ordered mine (having cancelled my RS order) at 10am on Tuesday and it was delivered at around 11am this morning.
The issue is that we're all different. As an example, in the old days, when I went on holiday on the continent I used to take six or seven paperback books with me. There was no point in carrying them back to England, so I left them in hotel rooms or coffee shops when I finished with them. A few years ago, I decided to have a clear out of books that I had read and would be unlikely to read again. I probably took five hundred or so to charity shops, but I still have more than a thousand books lying around in my apartment. I wouldn't call myself "lazy" but I possibly read differently to the way you read.
Having a Kindle has revolutionised my reading, but of course using it a lot means that after I die I'll be leaving some of my property to Amazon rather than to my family. This is an interesting problem - other people will have the same issue relating to music. It's not just a question of being "lazy".
Slashdot isn't here for your specific requirements. Raspberry Pi is an interesting project and some people like to read about it. Therefore, why don't you just ignore articles about it, just as other people ignore articles that they are not interested in?
1. They put a tracking device on his private vehicle. That is a crime.
2. He does want his job back. He says that he was fired because the enquiry used evidence from the GPS device, which was installed illegally. His view is that that evidence is inadmissible so it should not be taken into account.
The teacher still has to judge the ideas but most undergrads would not be expected to originate new ideas anyway. Turnitin compares words and phrases and passages of text.
Well, I too would prefer to read a transcript, but the video takes 1 minute and 24 seconds to watch. It's hardly worth the trouble of asking for it, I would have thought.

Lots of non-profit organisations have employees. What point are you trying to make?

Your comment is certainly irrelevant. You didn't even read the summary!

In today's announcement about UK manufacturing, they stated that the Model A would be available before the end of the year.

Why do you believe that your experience is definitive? 25 years ago when i was a SW engineer, the majority of the people I worked with were female.
£123 is only if you don't book in advance. If you're planning to travel in March, you can do this journey for £23.
How do you mean "the price has grown too high to bear"? Has something changed to make it higher?
The article does explain this.
I think that LOHAN on theregister is supposed to do that. Initial announcement

"They pile up"? What do you mean? You get some, then they expire a few days later and you may get some more.

3. You should read the article more carefully.
Who said anything about ideas?

The article states that Amazon are working on an e-ink device with a multi-touch screen but that is nowhere near ready yet.
