I just went to citeseer and searched for "spherical earth": 149 documents found. A search for "flat earth" gave me 231 documents, so the Earth must be flat!
"He coined the terms "hypertext" and "hypermedia" in 1963 and published it in 1965. He also is credited with first use of the words transclusion, virtuality, intertwingularity and teledildonics."
So what next? He'll tell us that humanity is doing sex the wrong way and teledildonics is the way to go?
With the Osborne 1, people got introduced to the world of programming and were able to actually learn and produce something. With the iPad 2, people can post on Facebook what they did eat for breakfast (does Jobs still allows posting on Facebook, doesn't he?)
Millions download latest Firefox Mozilla celebrates more than five million downloads of its latest browser, however Firefox's market share is declining.
The article goes on to say that the 5.5 million downloads is short of the 8 million downloads Firefox 3 saw, that it has gone from a peak of 24% to 21% now etc. Those are at least reasonably supported facts, until the ZDNet crap which in one sentence goes

But of course nobody is forcing you to be able to see any content on the web, you're free to keep your principles and reduce your possibilities.
Another option is going back to IE. I use the browser that gives me more features/performance/whatever (I went years ago from IE to Netscape, then back to IE, then Firefox and finally I'm using Chrome). If I'll find both FF & Chrome lacking something I "need" in everyday internet surfing, I'll simply switch browser to one that have the missing feature.
Well, it reached 12 million of players in October and the last expansion, Cataclysm, sold 3.3 million of copies in the first 24 four hours (the previous expansion sold "only" 2.8 million the first day). Not exactly what I'd define a dying game.
Then do it. If it's better than Google, users will use it. If it's worse, they won't.
RMS is advocating for a free OS since forever, but the year of "Linux on desktop" hasn't come yet. Anyone wonders why people choose functionality over freedom when they actually need a tool to do something?

According to Ted Nelson entry on wikipedia:

Now, what kind of marvelous and innovative language the author of the article will propose?
GPL is not free as in beer and is not free as in speech. It's free as in RMS definition of freedom.
Then do it.
If it's better than Google, users will use it.
If it's worse, they won't.
