Depends on the definition of desktop. In 1899, people were still using quills on their desktops...

I will certainly crow about the fact that Linux has serious traction in one of the most vibrant markets in the world today, mobile devices. What is wrong with people making money off apps running on a standardized OS?

Cool apps are cool; getting paid to make them is even cooler.

But it is on a plurality, if not a majority, of mobile devices.

Causing an algae bloom is good now?

So how many people are even going to be able to change their MAC addresses? Think mom and pop. Or my lazy ass self. I'd get tired of trying to remember which MAC matched which website.

Yeah, probably too paranoid...

Hear Hear! Well said.

Because someone has to pick up the dog doo. And stuff like this that reminds you it's about more than shekels.

But perhaps I only feel this way because I'm not an asshole that assumes kids are a status symbol?

Vs the launch and recovery of SpaceX's Dragon system?

Well I'm not sure if you have kids, but mine watch way more youtube, Netflix and online games (I know, technically they don't watch the games...) than they watch TV or radio. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is and will continue to be more and more user generated online content as people become more savvy. This process will continue to expand the market, and the idea of asking our pathetic political class to 'fix' the problem with more regulation scares the crap out of me. I believe they need to keep their stinking hands off the Internet. YMMV.

Yeah, the Government should decide how we listen to music. They sure have had some great ideas about Internet privacy. Power to the government! Sorry I couldn't resist a little snark :P

I'm unconvinced. Myself, I'd rather not have regulation that says we need to regulate the Internet like a series of tubes. How about, we all just listen/buy the stuff we like, and ignore the lame? It's not like we don't have literally millions of entertainment sources. When you involve regulation and Government you get the politicians and Big Money involved. I don't think those guys have our best interests at heart...

Want that!

Zero Day Exploit that KILLS PEOPLE.

Your Move.

Arguably, yes it was. According to the NYT, it was designed under George Bush.
