I never considered an occasional depression a disorder and this tends to prove it; depression would just be a state of mind to help you solve the problem that caused the state of mind in the first place. To me people that are always depresses or even always happy are probably the ones suffering from a disorder.
Pidgin crashed on me maybe twice in the last year. I actually switched from Trillian to Pidgin and found Pidgin much better. The only big downside I found with Pidgin is the MSN file transfer support. Then again, if it was such a problem for me, I would just contribute to the project to fix that:P.
As much as I hate Sony, I must admit that I think these numbers are somehow plausible. Before flaming me, her me out.
First, the PS3 is clearly the most powerfull cosole that will be available. Secondly, 2011 is in 5 years which might be MORE that the new consoles "lifespan" (according to wikipedia, the current cosoles are between 4-6 years old). So depending on how much COMPUTER GAMES evolve during that time, PS3 might be the only one being able to offer something closely similar in 3-4 years. Moreover, by that time it will have become much cheaper. In 5 years from now, Nintendo and maybe even Microsoft might have release a new "next generation" console and the only old "next generation" console stile widely used will be PS3 and XBox360.
Even if these numbers end-up right, I don't think the next few years will closely resemble that. If PS3 ever gets over the other consoles, it might only be at the end of its live (in 3-4 years). Until then, I think we might see PS3 in the 16-25% margin.
Anyway, in the end, what matters isn't the market share of a console that matters, it's the sheer fun you can get out of it. Based on that, I think the Wii will have a very bright future.

"Did I mention that our next model is going to be SO amazing that you'll think that our current product is crap?
Hey, I have good faith in NVidia, they already fulfilled half of that promise ... I think their current product is crap.
Mmmmm, made me think of this.

The power of choice: change IM client. There are tons of free IM client, just change it to something else like Pidgin.
- Small persistence layer in school project (Java).
- In custom Ant tasks to store metrics and various information.
- Even used it to replace the storage of an MS Access based application in C++ we were trying to port to other OS.
