If you have to use Adobe Reader for its unique functionalities I guess it's better, I won't argue.
The only thing I want to do with PDFs is to read them and eventually print them. I can perfectly manage to do that with xPDF/gPDF. They load in 1 second on my computer, compare that to about 10 seconds (maybe I exaggerate) in Adobe Reader. Rendering is probably better in original but I have yet to see badly rendered PDF in readers I use.
I don't see Macromedia and Adobe being against Linux. There is a flash player and Adobe's PDF reader, they suck, yes, but they are out there. It's just a matter of time until we see Photoshop on Linux, right now it's just not profitable enough for them, I guess. Microsoft is another case.
Adobe Acrobat is not the only program that can open PDF. At least on Linux there is vast choice of PDF readers, all of them are much faster than Acrobat, I guess it applies to Windows too.
OMG, I can't stand all those iPod lovers. It's just another mp3 player that doesn't have anything to offer except pretty looks. Where's OGG, FLAC support? Where's possibility to change battery? The truth is that Karma and iRiver are much better products but they fail at being well advertised:\
Probably there will be very few officially released games. This console is entirely depending on homebrew software. Its precedessor has proven that it is possible, look at all the stuff that was released for GP32 - countless emulators and other nifty apps. Now that it will have more powerful software it will be able to emulate SNES and some arcade machines. And it doesn't require that user knows how to hack and mod his console. Compare it to difficulties that PSP/DS users have to run homebrew software.
Why bother using some ubersecurity when it can always be cracked. Microsoft figured out that they would at least cut the costs and discourage some people from using pirated Windows since they won't be able to use it (my dad for example;)).
It's in the best interest of those who had to comply to Intel's terms to help AMD. Thanks to this they will be able to offer wider range of hardware and therefore be more attractive to customers.
Man, this talking about unions and stuff is what will get western countries nowhere and let them fall behing China and India in next 30 years. You are used to earning a LOT from a perspective of a polish guy. Do chinese or indian people complain about low salaries? Maybe a little, I guess a lot of people would like to get 65K. Of course life in their countries is much cheaper but still they can't afford as much as citizens of, for example, UK.
I mean, hello, this is real world, with competition everywhere and more and more emerging masses of people who will fight to live decent life. Either adapt or loose.

So if they start using 3 cores it will crash even more often! ;)
Ubuntu Live CD includes all apps from normal Ubuntu AFAIR. I don't have to compare CD capacity to 3gb drive :)
It would be cool if ISPs proposed some anti-malware strategies to their customers, maybe send some Linux distro :)
No, it was just a good idea.
The worst nightmare of Microsoft involves pizza and pencaces. And mustard, lots of mustard.
Now everybody will have to catalogue their music

artist->title->album or
album->tile->artist or
album->artist->title
easy!

Personally, I welcome our new genetically modified near-unkillable regenerative mice overlords.
Wait! There's still hope!
The only organ that did not grow back was the brain.
Basically they're as easy to kill as zombies, we just have to aim for headEven if you had to buy new hardware it would be upgrading, not getting entirely new computer.

I don't think they would be accused of being evil after stopping Wine from downloading updates.
Seriously, what's the point of installing DX under Wine?Lik Sang will come to the rescue.
Producer won't screw you with firmware updates that make using homebrew stuff more difficult.

Third, stocks don't go up just because the company has a good future.

Probably they didn't count people using internet cafes.

Source code for Quake was released in 1999, I doubt it was the Red Box emulation :P
My mother got back from vacation in China and she says it's about 750$ / YEAR. Gotta love this country ;]
