You have got to be kidding me. I've never bought an Apple product, so I can't comment on the packaging, but my Nexus 7 arrived a couple of days ago, and I thought it was quite nicely packaged. A couple of scissor snips and the dreaded taped sides were open. This post is Apple fanboi trolling at its finest.

I've tried several releases of Ubuntu over the years, only to give up in frustration at all the configuration needed just to (for example) get wireless to work. Finally, with Precise, Ubuntu "just works" (pretty much) right out of the box. Per TFA, Quantal will rely on fallbacks because AMD Catalyst and NVIDIA binary Linux graphics drivers won't work with Wayland. Huh? Why shoot themselves in the foot when they've finally gotten things right, just for something that's primarily cosmetic?

If you rip out the binding, most bookstores are going to frown on returns.

Microsoft worked late last night to get us access to the code that will be used during the inauguration so we could test it with Moonlight.

Aaron's code will also be powering MacOS/PPC streaming.

Linux users today tend to be more tech savvy

You've heard of Ubuntu right?
