From what I can tell from the screenshots, it looks like it utilizes SkyPlayer, which is available in the UK for £10 per month, and you get Sky One, Sky Sports and a few other flagshiip sky channels (32 in total) If you already have a Sky subscription, it is free to use.

You articulated what I was trying to say a whole lot better than I originally did!

I'm going to get modded down as flamebait here, but lets face it, unless it pretties up the OS, Apple will ignore it. Security hasn't exactly been their strong point

As much as I am thankful for discovering Linux for my laptop, adding a drop down box won't make the difference people are hoping for. Linux is so alien to the average person who would buy from Dell that people would immediately overlook it regardless of price drop. To most of the average Joe users, Windows is a PC, the only other alternative is a Mac. What Linux really, really needs is to hit the average user where they are most susceptible; in front of the television. A few adverts on US TV would have a domino effect on other countries' markets. I know that most Linux distros don't have the money to put an advert on TV, but it's where the average Joe gets the majority of his/her information about new products. I'd love Shuttleworth to get his hand in his pocket and put some Ubuntu adverts on US TV. Driving user adoption via advertising = Uptake in users = Support from other big companies who want to jump on the bandwagon

The number of people being fired for people posting things about work have increased ridiculously here in the UK. We hear stories of people getting fired because they say they've had a sh*t day, so this is the next logical step for corporations, as they will no doubt be expecting a major, trend setting lawsuit soon enough. Signing something protects them.

I personally also noticed and instant improvemant in boot times, performace and feedback from the OS compared with Vista Ultimate and Windows XP.

I've abandoned my upgrade as I was informed by Ubuntu's installer that the FGLRX for my ATI graphics card wasn't available anymore, so it's not just nVidia, it's ATI as well

The point you're missing is, even those "Grandmas" that bought Mac or Windows machine didn't have to set up their system either. There are plenty of PC builders that will preinstall Linux on a machine with drivers etc, so your argument isn't really valid.

The apple fan boys haven't arrived yet, so I'll fill in for them We don't need obvious functionality that is available in the most low end phones, like MMS messaging and video recording. Oh no. All we need is a sexy interface with a glossy product and we're happy. In fact, we'll pretend our phone is the best phone in the world simply because it has the apple logo on it. Oh wait, hang on, Apple is introducing those features in it's new product? Well praise the lord, we've been waiting for those features for so long. Never mind the fact we said we didn't want them, now they're here our phone is AWESOME

Unfortunately, the social networking society we're in now, where the norm is to accept anyone who 'sends a friend request' will make darknets unworkable for the majority
