I have as well... one interesting thing I noticed is that most of the new features they just added (see the sidebar links as well... embedded UPS/FedEx tracking... mmmmm....) seem designed to draw your eyes towards the advertisements.
For that reason (and others, I dislike reading "snippets" of feeds... give me bloglines any day), I'm not using their RSS reader, since I would constantly look at the top bar to see if it was a new news item.
So, does misspelling "Unics" (as in "the very first Unics application"), mean that the author of the article is an ignorant PC user? Or does it mean he's an elitist Mac/Unix user trying out his own creative spelling of an existing word? Hmmm...
There are two situations here. One is the case where IBM contributes their own code (possibly containing patented stuff) to GPL products/distributions, and redistributes it. In that case (which is extremely rare...pratically non-existant anymore), IBM would have lost the right to require extenders of that GPL'ed code to license their patents.
In a second situation, company XYZ infringes on an IBM patent, and contributes that infringing code to a GPL'ed project. If that project happens to be included on a RedHat CD which IBM ships, that does not mean that they have lost the right to enforce their patent. However, once IBM learns of the infringement, they must cease distribution of the infringing GPL'ed code if they wish to pursue patent infringement claims. That is where SCO screwed themselves. They claimed that GPL code was violating their rights, even as they continued to distribute it.
If you look at the open source IBM distributes, you notice that very little of it is under the GPL. Most of IBM's distribution is under the CPL, which states in paragraph 2b (bolding mine):
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.

Those screenshots are awesome...takes me back to the days when the cover art was beautiful, and there was a reason there were no screenshots on the outside of the box. Phooey on these new game engines :
In the same vein, I saw this article yesterday about a school in NC that requires students to own a Palm IIIc and a portable keyboard. It certainly saves money to use PDA's instead of laptops, and I thought it was a neat idea.

The one time "All your base are belong to us" is actually an on-topic comment

Yup, brodcasting is where the future is at. People in the future will say things like, "Don't you remember when brodcast had an 'a'?"

Upper-case (i.e. UNICS), maybe ... as it is, I'm gonna have to call misspelling.
