I'm still not sure what exactly the fatal flaw was in the test version that got everyone all in an uproar. This article clears up some things but not that.
I find your statements amusing considering if you replace "Ubuntu" with "XP" and "Win7 x64" with "Ubuntu" you pretty much have the outcome of my latest dabbling with Ubuntu. I've been having strange problems I would never have on XP, including monitor sleep just not working, and suspend logging me out, when keeping me logged in is part of the point of suspend for me. The UI even seems to indicate I should be kept logged in. Then there's the fun times when Ubuntu loses the ability to power down my hardware, making suspend simply lock the session and shutdown hang on the splash screen. And my attempts to configure startup applications are not working, while such things are trivial to get working in Windows. Lots of fun. I had great plans for an Ubuntu media server but most of them are stalled now and I still keep most of my media on my new Windows 7 box and hardly interact with the Ubuntu server (it doesn't help that I'm only getting 4MB/s instead of the full 100mb/s which makes file copies slow and video strea!BUFFERING! but I'm not ready to blame Ubuntu for that yet, dunno what's up there).
Now did Mr. Appelbaum post a detailed review somewhere that isn't limited to 140 characters? I would like to read it. The linked blog posts don't satiate me.
Who said they included that functionality? I assume there are QuickTime API calls on iPad already, they can just use those... VLC for PC includes QuickTime codecs for PCs since who knows if the users are going to have QuickTime installed (and AFAIK there's no Linux QuickTime). Wouldn't have that problem on the iPad, right?
Addendum: Actually I was thinking of taxes when I saw "IRS". I've never actually dealt with them apart from filling out my tax forms and having my tax automatically deducted from my pay. Just to clarify *cough*.

According to a bug filed, Google Instant is coming to the Chrome omnibox... I personally like Google Instant. :)

I'm waiting for the song and accompanying youtube music videos.

AFAIK this is pretty much how every compression algorithm works. No need to give it a fancy name.
Perhaps, but you shouldn't need to do all that just to play a video game.

Northwestern.edu hasn't been paying their internet bills...
Hmm his twitter account has some more tidbits that shine some light. It will do for now I guess.

I can't wait for THIS number to be turned into a song!
What if we don't count bundles but only stand-alone sales?
Programmers' Day, the 256th day of the year. Quite a coincidence.
Must have been a slow news day for the article author.
*cough*
Well then they just need to reverse the polarity!
It's my understanding that feature freeze is tomorrow.

Yes, but there are a LOT of bullets and a LOT of shooters

I don't use any of the listed services*, I'm not being targeted!
* - Before you ask, yes, except for the IRS. But there's not much I can really do about that one.
Hey, my ancestry goes back to Austria! You take that back!
The summary stops a bit short... they already unsuspended him, the article even says so at the end.
Is this the link you wanted?
I wish Slashdot would fix clipboard paste not working in Chrome, this is getting really annoying...
Doodles have never been on the HTTPS page since it launched, so no surprise there.
