Good point. The fact that he is leaving doesn't surprise me. The fact that he accept a job at Zynga instead of staying at home sure sounds crazy.

You do realize Win8 has a desktop environment and your Win7 apps will work just fine, don't you? Geez, I can't understand how much this crap gets mentioned over and over here.

This kid must be thinking so many bad things about society in general right now that when/if he gets out of jail, it would be no surprise if he actually plans to get even. Mr. Osama must be happy that the US authorities are carrying out his plan.
