My impression of the article is that it is trying to get OSS developers to start putting in a little effort to having little "bells and whistles". I dont think Gaim, Kopete or any other OSS Instant Messenger should go out of its way and try to support Yahoo Avatars or anything like that.
What the article is saying is that Gaim/Kopete/whatever should try to create an environment which is fun and attractive to the younglings. Perhaps this can be done by encouraging younger developers to participate. If not for programming, at least engage them in designing some sort of attractive user interface.
The only problem would be, how to get younger people interested in this....
Once the female mosquitos see the male mosquito gonads glowing, wont they suspect something is wrong??? I know my wife would never have sex with me if mine were glowing.
At the risk of making this sound like an advertisement...
For the past 1 year, my company has been working on a solution for in-house knowledge management and collaboration/groupware for an organization. Our solution integrates the above with SMS notification, SyncML synchronization (calendar, contact list and todo list) for mobile devices as well as a web based email system. Since we develop it in-house, we are able to customize it for our clients.
If you're looking for a commercial product, you can find our contact information at langkah.com. If you're looking for something open source, then I guess you should probably go search for something on sourceforge.
Actually for me, I find it convenient:
1) Just whistling or humming the tunes I like.
2) When I get desperate to hear a real instrument playing, I use my PVC flute.
3) If I want to hear the real thing, I can stand by the road side and listen to my music from those loud window-shattering, earth-shaking speakers that people put in their cars.
That way I can avoid putting in a single cent into the RIAA/MPAA/Whatever-AA's fat pockets and yet steer clear of being sued.

Iran banning this game is just sufficient justification for the US to go in and invade them!

Astronauts discover squid-like aliens with elbows..
In a mission to Mars, for example, which would take up to 30 months, sexual conflict or infidelity could lead to a 'breakdown in crew functioning'.
30 months??? Who the heck can function properly without sex for 30 months?

Hey, we all watched Mission Impossible. We know this has to be true!
No, but you can use the soon to be released MILF 1.0 file system for your jpg and mpg needs.

yes and after the AI in the robots decide they dont need humans anymore and take over administration, I can just see the headlines now:
Combat Robots Got Seoul!
Oh, really? Can they sue me for playing my flute to the tune of Beyonce's "Naughty Girl" while taking a dump in my bathroom?
.... Oh, and sometimes I can hear the music in my head. Sounds better than the real thing.

Interestingly, some of the news items with this headline containing the word "baidu.com" is dated 29th August. Smells like old news to me.
No you are both wrong. Shown here is an artist's rendering of a Velociraptor in comparison to a human:

I think you're missing the whole point of this... Once this thing is approved for humans, this could mean new hope for Lorena Bobbit's husband?
Isn't it goatse.cx anyway? yes, he misspelled it because he was temporarily blind.
