>because doing so would challenge mainstream religions
Bzzt, you fell for their bait. What you really mean is "would challenge mainstream corporations," because as we're all afraid to admit, the most brainwashed person in the world today is not the American God-worshipper, but the American consumer. 2012 isn't a religion. It's a worldwide marketing phenomenon that is potentially 100x worse than anything even Jim Jones could do. Please, stop ignoring the threat that consumerism represents.
It always has something to do with visuals - GNOME wallpaper, GNOME themes, GNOME treatment of multiple desktops, etc. The fact is, KDE users are used to a higher amount of customizability, but of course all of it can be worked around in GNOME.
In the video, the girl mentions that for example, you can detach the screen while on a call, and then use the screen part to look through your address book or do other stuff. That's one case where I can see it being handy. Overall it feels like a gimmick, but maybe there's someone out there who is just dying to have this functionality. Japan's technology markets have always gone for this notion of technology fitting your purposes, whereas in the U.S., for example, you have limited choices to which you must tailor your use.
4 bangs are required because 3 would leave you with "sanpatsu," and everyone knows that giant reptilian monsters don't need haircuts. It's a matter of cultural sensitivity, my friend - 4 bangs or more.
The fact that you dont also seem amazed at the arrogance of the Japanese general staff, the German high command, etc. or any officers of those countries seems to indicate that you haven't had an in-depth study of the war. Or any war, for that fact. War is arrogance.
The axis forces of WWII made many arrogant mistakes, like not believing in convoys (Japanese), not believing allies had broken their codes (Japanese and German), not believing that their own governments could come up with anything like a "death camp," etc. Arrogance ran up and down the command structure on both sides of that particular war.
And even though it's more exciting to talk about secret Japanese and German technology, don't forget that the misuse of secret technology was a specialty of all parties involved in the war; Japan was making better suicide planes, Germany was mastering the infrastructure of genocide, and so on.
You can organize a tour group and get a tour of Bangor in Washington State. I went as a Boy Scout and it was an amazing trip. We toured a huge active-service nuclear missile sub and I believe our troop exhausted that particular sub's supply of soft-serve ice cream within about 20 minutes.:-) It was amazing to walk around and touch the big vertical missile tubes, too. Ever since then I've been fascinated with submarines.
And, looking at my gut, I'm guessing the soft-serve experience did something to me as well.
Have we seen any real cures via treatments lately? I honestly don't know, but there sure are a lot of maintenance-level medications out there. Is there a treatment or a pill out there that can just cure you flat out, when your body wouldn't do so on its own?
Here's my take: You've got to have a healthy dose of geek in ya to implement a decent site in Drupal. So a bunch of non-designer geeks are out there implementing these sites. Then Jenny from marketing totally goes all extrovert on the programming team in a development meeting, and tells them they need multimedia. OH CRAP, they think. We can do DBs, PHP, Apache, whatever. But multimedia?
Anyway, that's my take...better try this niche than "10 Days to a Drooplier Drupal!!!" etc.

You're right, Drupal is amazingly powerful. However I think it's deceptive to compare Drupal with other CMS's like Joomla. There's a reason Drupal's learning curve is so steep - it's so different from your standard CMS.
My point is: I don't think you have to be a PHP ninja to "get the most" from it. I think you have to be a Drupal ninja to do that, and the bare-minimum requirement to start down that path is deep experience with PHP.
So yeah, that's why I say it appeals to people who like to work from scratch: It's like learning a PHP framework from scratch - more like that than learning to use a standard CMS is, anyway.

>I am sick about all the misinformaiton about this game.
Misinformation? Oh, you mean PUBLICITY!
They are afraid that a game that slick, played on the iPod, might cause the universe to collapse under coolness.
Also, I hear Jobs is jealous that he wasn't the first one to come up with the phrase, "stay a while. Stay...FOREVER!!!"

Is there a FOSS CMS you prefer?
