Still under the length of copyright... I could mathematically come up with every 5 note combination and copyright them all... then I'd have it covered for the rest of my life + 75 years... WooHooo!!!

If it's been > 6 months since any hardware change on the last install, it's generally painless... if you change your MB, expect to call MS as part of the activation process.
That was my thought.. I put together a 12x3TB NAS for around $2K earlier this year (20TB using 11drives with Raid-Z2 and a hot spare)... I can't beleive that they can't come up with a better solution for this... hell a couple 2-3TB external USB drives would be a few hundred and easily hold all the data in the case, and could be shipped to different locations for backup/redundancy. This is a total f-ing fail.
The sad thing is, the most innovative gameplay I've seen was a rehash on Mario Bros' the original with Super Mario War an indie game.. here's hoping for netplay release of that on Ouya. Though the website itself seems to be broken.
Did that once with my dad. Took forever to get thrugh their firewall config, download/setup vnc (interactive prompt, default refuse), and then whatismyip... not fun, not cool... teamviewer/logmein etc are far easier.
That was my first thought... if your game doesn't offer enough play/replay value out of the box to justify the $50-70 purchase, WTF!? why are you charging more to make it so? It's worht noting that I stopped playing games 6-8 years ago since DRM became so common... I didn't want to follow it... I have done a couple humble bundles, and donated for the ouya kickstarter though.
I skipped Lion, so can't comment on the differences.. I mostly don't like the big brother moves nearly forcing me into the MacStore for a lot of apps. I find the store cumbersome and really don't like a lot of the direction things are headed in, similar to ios, which I don't use.
How do you figure... giving 100,000 of income to charity is at most a tax break of 50,000 or so.... would 100,000 not be more than the 50,000 in taxes? I always hate arguments like this.... donations are not 1:1 deductible from taxes.
Allowing for a much broader communications infrastructure at far lower costs with commodity hardware... without floss, much of the world would still be without telephones, let alone the internet.
I'm bent out of shape because the *DEFAULT* option was enabled, and didn't provide a prompt to disable/change when trying to install... Beyond this, the fact that I went to several app's websites to get the latest version, and was forced to download from the Mac Store (seems to be the trend), then in the mac store, I *HAD* to login, for a "free" app. Then when I logged in, I wasn't taken back to the app page that I was trying to install in the first place. What *I* expect is a seamless experience from a vendor that prides itself on seamless experiences. I don't think the above (prompt for first non-allowed install, and taking me back to app install post login) is too much to expect out of the box. I also don't like the big brother feel that apple's closed environment gives me, which is why I don't own an iOS device, and may use something other than OSX if it gets any more like iOS.
There are *SEVERAL* applications that currently *ONLY* install via app-store, there's no separate download from that apps website. I went through this recently, I didn't bother backing up the apps I had, as most were free/open-source and figured I'd just download the latest versions... more than a handful had their download links going to the Mac Store...
Sorry, but do have to take a few exceptions to things you've said.
10 clicks vs. 2 - depends on what you are attempting to do, there are other ways, beyond mouse to make most adjustments in windows.
updates without reboot - unless the kernel changes, and often even if not, can have issues, leaks
Precise reboot state - I've not really seen this work well in either environment.. some apps specifically do okay, or better than others
Auto-login - admittedly it's easier in linux, but you can do it in windows too.
Movies for wallpapers - you can use an embedded html as a wallpaper, this can have movies in it, as well as multiple wallpaper selection. This doesn't include 3rd party apps/utils.
Embedded to Super Computer - windows does scale pretty well, and there are embedded/light versions, which is where WinRT actually started, which brings a separate issue, on windows the vast majority of applications written even 15 years ago can run on a current version of windows, without a source rebuild.
What can windows do that linux can't? Beyond the above-stated binary compatibility, which is imho huge, and a consistent binary API can't think of much.
All of this said, I tend to use Windows, OSX and Linux regularly, along with a couple single-purpose BSD installs.
I think he may be referring to the plot points surrounding timelines (alternate universe), more so than the two mirror universe episodes (which I found very entertaining, and think they could have changed to entire series to that universe and been more entertaining.
When I bought my MBP, it was the best option available in terms of hardware.. (that and I appreciate the aluminum case over plastic) It isn't always the case, and my ram/ssd were purchased separately (because of pricing).
For me the largest frustration, is the number of applications *only* available via the MacStore, and how cumbersome the MacStore is itself. Not to mention, the default setting for 10.8 (Mountain Lion) was to only allow app installs from "known" developers on the MacStore. The first few apps I installed were non-mac-store apps, and the new sandbox doesn't work for many developer oriented apps. One of the reasons I went mac for a laptop was relatively seamless software options, and it's less so imho now than before. Homebrew/MacPorts goes a long way, but just the same, at this point would nearly rather be on Mint/Debian/Ubuntu. If the next OSX release is *any* worse, I'm definitely going Linux.
After a week with Mountain Lion, I'm actually leaning that way for my Macbook Pro next OS release... It was somewhat of a painful experience for me, doing a relatively clean install, then getting the core apps I want installed. I do a lot of my actual work in VMs, and the host OS is really starting to cramp my style so to speak.

for over a decade (since atx iirc), the power button triggers a software based shutdown in the os.

the patent isn't on the hardware, it's on the shape of the hardware.
If you aren't buying the DLC and they aren't making money, it's because of all the pirates... arrrggh

most oses that have similar security prompts have an allow anyway option... this move was a big brother move period.
the difference with Apt, is it prompts you to allow anyway... not giving you a "f*ck you" dialog leaving you to hunt for the setting.

Of course there's also oldride, autobuy and autotrader classics.

If they'd all just use Debian, and drop the rest there wouldn't be an issue.
I've been using Mint's LMDE to install lately... I've got a coworker with a G5 who's thinking on going to Linux, Debian PPC is about his only option.
I'm finding that my interest in Node.js dev has me leaning that way...
