"...maybe do a followup story later. " Ahh! So when things are reposted several times, they're actually followup stories. Sorry to be so critical, Taco.
I believe this may mark the birth of the first podcast actually worth listening to!
What would be sort of hilarious is if I got modded down by angry podcasters. Not THAT hilarious though...:-(
I don't think this should really be much of a surprise. It is impossible to trust the reviews that you read. The only person who benefits from truth is the consumer. Everyone else benefits from praise, false or not. The fact that Amazon had a great many reviews of their books posted by the authors or people related to the authors/publishers should give some insight into whether or not "customer reviews" are a good way of judging a product's merits.
Life, Liberty, Some Property, but not TOO much, Healthcare, French People, The Word "Eh", Maple Syrup, Mounties and now, I-PODs. Perhaps it is time to move north! Wait... French People... I'll bide my time.
Don't you just love it when a number as incomprehensible as 45nm is finally put in a graspable framework such as 1/1,333 the width of a human hair? It's like the insight given by the statement that a mole of marshmellows would cover the US 512 miles deep.
It is amazing how fast this technology has been commercialized. Just earlier TODAY, my wife knew I was at work and called me to remember to pick up groceries tonight! Not only did she know where I was, she knew I would be driving by the grocery store this evening! Incredible!
Really, the selling of it isn't ridiculous economically. They can make extra money charging premium prices for something that is really no more valuable than the entry model. It is cheaper to hobble a product and sell it at the "entry-level" cost while selling the unweakened version at more than it really deserves. And indeed, buying it may stick in ones craw, but sometimes one doesn't have much of a choice. In this case, luckily, you do.

At least it's not democracy we're exporting this time. Crazy laws are less likely to get people killed.
Now, if we can manage some open-source food, perhaps we can actually feel better about ourselves with regards to sub-saharan Africa.

I just hope we don't see those of us supporting Open Source thinking we have won. This feels sort of like a "Peace in Our Time" (http://www.wwnorton.com/college/history/ralph/wor kbook/ralprs36.htm) kind of moment to me.

It's biggest advantage is that it gets to start off several years ahead of any windows machines... Ha Ha... hmmmmm :-(
