TL;DR: Even if you're clueful and security-conscious most of the time, all it takes is one momentary mistake, and nobody can be perfect. Phishers and scam artists know this, and attack constantly and without cease, so that even though they fail 99.9999% of the time, those few successes yield great returns.
Except that it isn't. According the GnomeShell page on Gnome Live, "Much of the code of the shell is written in Javascript and Clutter and GNOME platform libraries via GObject Introspection and JavaScript bindings for GNOME."
GObject Introspection is actually quite cool IMO, it makes it much easier to create bindings from dynamic languages libraries that use GObject, like the GNOME platform, GStreamer, etc.
AFAIK, the processor in iPod generations 1-3 isn't fast enough to decode Ogg Vorbis in realtime. However, that changed with the 4G, so once that generation is officially supported in iPodLinux, you should be able to play Ogg Vorbis on an iPod (albeit only some iPods).
What was it like working with Yoshitaka Amano? Did you correspond with him directly, about what the pictures should look like, or did you just let him have free reign?
Actually, Shuttle doesn't produce a mini-ITX machine. The do produce a line of so-called XPCs, with a custom form factor. Some of these can use C3 processors, just like some mini-ITX mainboards.
If you're disappointed with the noise level, I'd recommend checking out the SS51G1, SB52G2, SS51G, or SB61G2, all of which have heat pipes, which are capable of cooling the CPU much more quietly than fans.
hmm... not to troll here, but you could say the same thing about Zope. I haven't yet found an easier language to use than Python, and Zope seems well-organized. And yes, there's a speed/memory overhead in comparison to PHP, but you'd get that with Java too.
Plus, Zope is open source:)
I've been doing this with Mozilla at my school for awhile now. Whenever someone comes to me with an issue about malicious ActiveX controls, or browser-trapping popups, or whatever, I help them get rid of it, and then say, "By the way... you should check out Mozilla. It lets you turn off popups."
Most people end up trying Mozilla and never going back to MSIE.

Cory Doctorow had an essay that speaks to this point recently: http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2010/05/cory-doctorow-persistence-pays-parasites/

I just tried it against nginx 0.6.37. The attack appears to work there as well.
I can't speak to your other points, but I just clicked on the upper-left corner of my menu bar, and the Apple menu came up.
Berkeley? I'm pretty sure you mean Cambridge.

Funny you should mention this. The GStreamer folks currently are working on getting the infrastructure in place to replace ESD with GStreamer.
See this page for more details.
It's been my wife and my internet computer... You're married to an iMac?

IIRC, you can change the DPI in XFree86. There should be a setting for it in your display manager's config file.

It was a great story, as always. Thanks.

The bar on the right side of the front page says "Win32/Direct3D support but porting trivial." I'm assuming that's meant as an invitation :)
