It's not that a PHP developer sees the double forked hammer and a normal hammer sitting side by side, ready to use to get those 3-nails in, and foolishly chooses the double forked one. It's that the normal hammer in question will take forever to configure before you can start using it, you have to read a complex set of instructions to learn how to use it, and then if you don't use it perfectly the right way, it won't work at all. I agree with most of the article author's points... and hell, go ahead, build a better language that keeps in mind the reasons PHP is still so popular... but if you summarize your whole argument with a flawed analogy, then maybe you won't ever quite hit the nail on the head. Granted, maybe I took my analogy into flawed land... Analogies are hard.
... seems to blow all that other crap away, even if the news was released in december. evidence of water once being on mars is big... but hardly surprising enough to rank at #1.
...couple weeks ago. super small. wow, srs, etc. fm-tuner, voice recorder, multi-color backlight on the display. looks very similar to the eratech emp100. available at bestbuy and circuit city for $150 ($120 for 128mb).

size is the biggest selling point for me. other than that, the controls are confusing, battery life (AAA about 10hrs) disappointing, playlist options weak, and though it's loud enough -- i don't like the fact that i generally have to keep it at the maximum volume or close to -- would like some volume to spare.
wasn't there a whole theory putting atlantis farther north... w/ explanations of the pillars of hercules etc. all i could dig up from my vague recollections is this:

trying to place the works of homer in the baltic. but i believe other have gone on to use this theory to postulate another candidate for atlantis -- near england.
