[i]* OSS advocates complain about the lack of innovation coming from Microsoft. Often, these posts are written from KDE using an integrated filesystem/HTML browser, a taskbar, a start menu, and more.

Large buttons are always better when it comes to the hit/miss ratio. You don't want to be in a typing/mousing fury and hit the wrong button! Keyboards could be made to an unusable small scale, or made gigantic, but the current size was picked because it fits the average human fingers, I assume MS did the same thing with the GUI, found what worked for most people, but you have a lot of outliers (Grandmas, Dads, kids, etc.) throwing the curve off.
I like the blue Luna theme but use this instead, but I think you and me are the only two people who like the new start menu.
Not using flash is not an option for some people. Atleast FireFox makes it super easy to block any flash element with a small "Ad Block" tab it attached to it.
"relevant" "not annoying" Google's ads may be both of those things but that still doesn't mean I have to look at them. I block *.googlesyndication.* on my adblocker in FireFox and never see the damn things. But I guess that makes me a bad person for questioning the all might Google-Gods.
In all honesty I really do agree with number 8. That's exactly the way I feel about music.
No, I really am not kidding.
(8) I believe that artists should be compensated for their work -- preferably by someone else. I mean, they can sell concert tickets (which someone else can buy) or sell t-shirts (to someone else) or something. As long as someone else subsidises my free ride, I'm coooooool with it.
What if you use some of the same tactics spammers use and scramble words you know would trigger ads? Inserting superfluous letters into words, or just type in 1337 5p34k could get around the ads. If Google can't recognize any keywords, how can it serve you an ad?
The number 2 guy was on the daily show I think. Funny shit, he was complaining about anti-spammers clogging him up with e-mails he didn't want to try and stop him from sending spam. Then he blames the USPS for the anti-spam laws, because he's sending so much mail they need him to start buying stamps. Then they posted his e-mail on the screen.

Would you like some Olde FORTRAN Malt Liquor while use your caps lock?
Wow, insightful, this is worse than the pro Nazi posts getting modded up.
Are you calling Weather bug mildly useful?
Only impacts (stupid/old) Microsoft Windows users ^ would be more accurate. I've never had a problem.

Right, because we all know how well lobbying and litigation worked to stamp out sharing music...
