I tend to purchase the paid version of any app I use on a regular basis. The money spent helps support the developer and hopefully leads to continued updates of the app.
"Secondly, it’s hard to read, since people don’t really understand URLs"
Do we always have to cater to the lowest common denominator. At this rate we will have nothing but a browser sidebar with predefined url buttons to the most popular social sites.
The biggest problem I see isn't the radical design change of Gnome 3 or Unit, but the lack of customization. We once criticized Windows for being fairly rigid in that matter, but Windows now looks in comparison to these new desktop a tweaker's dream. Someting I thought I would never say.
So, in a way I would have to agree they suck at the moment, but I hope the project leaders will come to their senses and realize people like to be able to customize their desktops to some degree.
People flock to social media sites to see information about friends, family and other people they are interested in. If they want news, they go to the news site or a news aggregate site like Google, Yahoo, or Drudge.
The once proud Slashdot who championed stories on beowulf clusters and kernel optimizations among others has become another Apple rumor site.
What's next? Cute kittens on keyboards? What software Jennifer Lopez uses?
I find it hard to view Unity as cutting edge when it uses the old gtk2 instead of gtk3.
Its really a new wrapper for a old base. It's like a homeowner that paints his house purple and moves all his doorknobs to the hinge side to stand out from his neighbors. It's the same house, but now it's an eyesore and annoying to get into.
Sadly, it's new on most tech pages now days.
With the influx of non geek people onto the internet, the bewoulf clusters stories, kernel compiling optimisation tips and motherboard tests are being replaced by rumours about shiny things.
I just never thought I would see Slashdot doing it.
I think the important thing to note is that publishers will not be able to simply adopt the Texas standard in all their textbooks in order save publishing costs. They will have to produce two separate textbooks unless they want to lose the huge California market. Meaning the smaller states will have a choice instead of being stuck with the Texas revisions.

Product in short supply. Crowds rushing to get shiny product and trampling others in the process. Poorly trained employees.
It's just like Black Friday at Walmart.
It would be the first Beowulf cluster to fit into a shoe box.

Oh come on, admit it. You watched BSG for the boobs.
News for non nerds. Stuff that really doesn't matter.
Microsoft has both of them beat with IE 6.

They need to be realistic about the price. The majority of Americans won't be willing to pay..... oh, it's for the iPad. Double the price.
