No, speed does NOT necessitate that drivers run in the kernel. A GOOD microkernel architecture like QNX Neutrino is a perfect example. QNX powers Cisco's CRS-1 Carrier Routing System - a router which Guinness World Records has certified as the highest capacity internet router ever developed. It can handle up to 92 terabits/sec total throughput.
Also, the Mac OS X kernel, XNU, contains code which is based on Mach, but it isn't Mach - I.E. it's not a true microkernel.
Now, I'm not going to address every point the author makes, but here are a two comments:
1: I find the placement of the Command key much more ergonomic than that of the Control key on most PC keyboards. Furthermore, it's called the Command key because it's for issuing commands! CTRL-[some character] shouldn't issue a command. The control key is a modifier key.
2: While saving IS a very common task in some programs (like Text Edit... where Command-S is the way to go...), the problem with providing a toolbar button for it is designing an intuitive icon for it. A picture of a disk doesn't make sense because Macs haven't used floppies since the iMac first came out. Oh ya, did I mention Command-S? It's extremely ergonomic. Use your left thumb and index finger.
I submitted the exact same story nearly 6 hours earlier (a few minutes after Google launched the site)... Blast! Oh well, it's not like I actually expected my story to be posted anyway...
My first computer was an Apple//e clone (a Lazer 128). I've used Apples ever since. I now develop software for OS X, and it's by far my favourite platform to develop for. Though the PPC architecture is a much cleaner design, the fact of the matter is that it's the software which matters to me. As far as I'm concerned, Apple could switch hardware to ARM, dsPIC, or SPARC, and I wouldn't care, so long as they can still made the software run at a decent speed. So, to answer your question, yes, I'll be sticking with Apple.
If you increase the time between successive login attempts, you basically eliminate the threat of brute force on SSH. If someone is only allowed to try logging in once every 3 seconds, it's pretty unlikely that they'll get the correct password anytime soon.
There's no need to throw it out. Think of all the impoverished pple and geeks who could make use of the comp. Not to mention the impact on the landfills...
I bet you'll start seeing obnoxious pple going through all of a store's stock pushing the heat button on each of the cans so that the end customer gets cold coffee:p

Then how do you explain the incredible performance which QNX Neutrino sports? QNX Neutrino is built around a true microkernel, yet its performance is higher than a skyscraper.

Russia's previous attempt to put something into space?
It runs under X11
It's high time someone put out a decent alternative to Adobe Illustrator :)
Plus, it's build on SVG instead of PostScript, PDF, or Flash!
I guess they can't very well put an Intel inside something called a Powerbook, can they?
If the Manson family can do it, so can you :p

If by POS you means point-of-sale, it's because they can run Delicious Library on it :p

Are there plans to include Atom support by default in Firefox?
