"Billy Mitchell has long been one of the gaming industries most recognizable players..."
Really? Maybe I'm not that clued in, but I can't find anyone who knows who this guy is-- and we do a lot of gaming around these parts (and most of us can remember Donkey Kong when it was 'in the arcade'). That doesn't mean they can't make a documentary about him or whatever, but a little more context would help.
I think people are hoping that the Google OS would be a bit more user-friendly than most Linux distros; I know Linux has come a long way in that regard, but GoogleOS has the potential to be "the thing" that breaks Linux out of its percieved 'geek-only' status.
No one out there in the real world gives two shits for a player that "runs Linux". I'll repeat that, for emphasis: No one out there in the real world gives two shits for a player that "runs Linux".
All it did was demonstrate that Wikipedia is capable of defending itself from obvious vandalism. It does nothing to further the argument that Wikipedia is anything more than a big bag of trivia, edited by people who argue endlessly about whether captain Kirk wore a yellow or marigold shirt.
It's not just $600, either-- there's games that have to be bought-- another $150-$200 for four or so to "get started"; and since it will likely still be "bundles" sold at Christmas, you likely won't get one of these for less than $800-$900.

Yeah, let's continue on with this sad fantasy that seems to pervade the Linux world.
Duct tape will manually close the shutter. And a tinfoil hat will keep those nasty thoughts out of your head a little better.

"shorter, and quicker"? If your time is that goddamn valuable, maybe you shouldn't be reading an article about old videogame ads.
...who knew that Furries and Cybersex freaks were in the market for Sun "Solutions"?
