Nothing to do with quality of PSN vs Xbox Live community. CCP has flat-out stated that they couldn't do it on Xbox because microsoft's networking policies wouldn't have allowed the game to work they way they needed it to to properly interact with EVE.
Cisco definately does have name recognition amongst most consumers. I work retail at a location which sells a lot of networking equipment, and whenever people ask "What's this Linksys stuff?", I always respond that they're a division of Cisco. Most of the time, that gets a favorable response, and I see a good bit of Linksys hardware leave the shelf because of that fact. A good move by Cisco.
I work at an office supply store, and people have been asking about it a good bit. We'll see what happens, but for now, I'm going to hold off on migrating. I tried RC1 and RC2, and they just didn't seem worth it, in the long run. I'm going to reevaluation in 6-9 months, and see where things stand at that point.
With regard to what you said about My Yahoo, Google does have a Personalized Home service, that I use, which allows nearly identical functionality, and, in my opinion, an even broader slate of components that can be inserted into your personalized homepage. Gmail, a plethora of news services, weather, all sorts of things. I highly recommend it.
It's not about the fact that it was a user community, rather than the actual Mozilla.org site that was compromised. From a PR standpoint, the reports will concentrate, I suspect, on the fact that something associated with Mozilla was broken into, and thus will cast the Mozilla Foundation as a whole in a rather negative glow. Hopefully it won't last too long, or perhaps hell will freeze over and accurate reporting will prevail.
The only major news outlet sympathetic to the current administration is Fox News. I don't know where you got that information, but CNN, ABC, and CBS news programs are all biased towards liberals.
Perhaps I'm just not thinking this through enough, but it seems to me that this seems a lot like price-gouging schemes that crop up around gas stations a lot.
I'm not an accountant, but it sure as hell seems fishy to me that over $600 per chip is spent on accummulated research and marketing.
Otto von Bismarck once said, "Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied."
Well, now Microsoft has officially denied that it hates Linux. I guess it's time to start believing, then.
That data is not necessarily secure, however; if someone were to decrypt one of the files and you didn't use encyrption on it, your data would be their data.
Also, perhaps there's something in the TOS for Flickr that says something about use of their site fofr purposes other than storage of images. I don't know, just a thought though...
So basically what they're doing is using BitTorrent as their distribution system, ok. BitTorrent can perhaps now be shown as a legitimate tool used not just for illegal file sharing.
Oh wait, the media would never allow themselves to be wrong. Ah, there was a glimmer of hope...
So are they just gonna kinda wave their wonderful piece of software around, or might they release a binary, or at least source, so that those of us who might ever use it can see if it's any good?
I've never had a Windows XP install that hasn't BSOD at least once. Hell, I've seen the Windows XP Pro install application BSOD. It's really annoying, and as much as it is a dead horse, it's still an issue for many people.

Thanks everyone, that makes a lot more sense now.
That may be true, but in the case of a power station, you're talking about nuclear waste that could potentially harm thousands of people.
Oh. Right. My bad. Duh.
They compared the two because they're both government organizations, and as a demonstration of how simply stupid the bill is.
Isn't wrongfully causing a death the same as murder?
