That's one point why I don't like Wikipedia and it's also the cause of the problems mentioned in the article as well as in the comments in this thread - it looks too much like a real encyclopedia because there is only one article per keyword/topic, which is not (or shouldn't be) contradictory. You can't express a point of view differing from the opinion of the mass or the "average" opinion. Only one of the reasons why I prefer multiple articles per keyword as well as global moderation like on Everything2.. (Combining the two systems would be the best, but the user system of E2 is probably too oppositional to the open wiki concept (The user system being vital for useful and fair moderation is another point..))
Do you really think the content of the interview will be exclusively available on zdnet and/.? There are a few more sites on the net (who will link to the article (though I don't doubt that most of them are run on Linux machines))
Is there actually a chance that any surface-scanning technology other than the rubber ball is ever going to work an all surfaces? (I'm currently using old newspaper sheets as a mousepad on my glass desk, I'd really appreciate such an invention..)
Matter, light, what else do we have (let's say, in the next 20 years)?
