The problem with young Americans is that they have an attention span equal to the time between two commercial segments on TV.
USA will never again become a world leader in anything, get used to it. The time for America is over, USA will over the next decade see a steady unemployment around 20% and it will not drop.
There is still time to avoid becoming a full fledged third world country but I do not see any work being done to avoid it, quite the opposite.
This is incorrect.
Even before Apple launches the Mac, I ran a graphical environment much like Windows under CP/M-86, it was called Gem and was used by amiong others, the British computer Apricot. It was made by Digital Research, the same company that made CP/M
But I have never and will not ever, buy any Apple products. I have been in the business since before Apple's birth and they are no better than Microsoft, just smaller.
If I encounter such a webpage, I simply move on as I am running Linux and have no interest in any web sites that think they need to force me to run any Windows crap.
I've been working from home for over 7 years. I have two USB drives I use for work, a 1TB and a 2TB FreeAgent drive which have been encrypted using TrueCrypt. My/home/xxxx directories are also encrypted.
We are a large corporation 50,000+ employees and all our development of our software products are done under Linux and then ported to the various OS'es. Windows releases are months after the initial releases under Linux, Solaris, HP-UX and AIX
Luckily I decided to drop Windows completely with my new laptop rather than delve into more Microsoft nonsense.
Ubuntu 9.10 is working like a charm and do all the tasks I need to do better than on Windows. What is there not to love?

CWmike writes "Mozilla has shipped a release candidate build of Firefox 3.6 that, barring problems, will become the final, finished version of the upgrade. Firefox 3.6 RC1, which followed a run of betas that started in early November, features nearly 100 bug fixes from the fifth beta that Mozilla issued Dec. 17. The fixes resolved numerous crash bugs, including one that brought down the browser when it was steered to Yahoo's front page. Another fix removed a small amount of code owned by Microsoft from Firefox. The code was pointed out by a Mozilla contributor, and after digging, another developer found the original Microsoft license agreement. 'Amusingly enough, it's actually really permissive. Really the only part that's problematic is the agreement to "include the copyright notice ... on your product label and as a part of the sign-on message for your software product,"' wrote Kyle Huey on Mozilla's Bugzilla. Even so, others working on the bug said the code needed to be replaced with Mozilla's own."
