Of course there are innovations on many Apple products, but ALSO there are many obvious patents (such recent "invention" of scrollbars in touch screens that hide when no use). Imagine if someone many years ago decided to patent a kind of generic "wireless communication device".

... and that's true for ANY other language. The main problem is about bad developers, not bad languages.

Love KDE too (y) ...

No, you're not alone. Fortunately for many linux users.

That's exactly what I say to many people: If you are comfortable with their current desktop, don't switch, because you will finish trying to mimic things. Linux desktops are not for everybody, but for people who enjoy to learn and understand things in deep. If you don't like to learn, linux is not for you, period. For me, linux has been a fantastic learning experience for almost 10 years. Not only linux itself, but many technical details about software, algorithms, hardware low level protocols, and a huge list of interesting things. What's the problem with an OS that motivates that?

And please, KDE is not a windows clone, if people say that clearly they are not using KDE since years. Of course, there are themes of community trying to mimic windows look, but that is another history, and part of the power of KDE.

KDE is a really good Desktop environment, with a lot of good things for power users... I mean, a *lot* of customizations options, which is not good for everybody, but IS a big difference for many others. But, at the end, the most important thing is that people feel comfortable with their own desktop environment, whatever the name is. Be free is, also, let others be free.

Meego is a great product... I love my N9 too

Actually, modern electricity transportation systems are the result of Tesla research.

It's clear that you've never written a document larger than 100 pages with multiple chapters and a lot of equations and figures. Yeah, I love LaTex.

For me, eInk screens are, by far, better than LCDs or others light emitting screens. I read a lot, specially on night, and my eyes are very thankful since I bought a kindle. OK, the screen is slow BUT the device is for read, NOT for playing or browsing.

Do you have a mac os x server license? If not, you can buy it, and you'll have a lot of services available, from podcast server to directory server, iCal server, and a lot of options.

Specially when I have the debugger with several watches; even more useful when debug JS code with FireBug or Chrome Developer Tools... I have two 25'' displays and I want another :D I tried with one big monitor with ultra high resolution, but personally I prefer two high resolution displays (1950x1080). So, the answer is absolutely yes

I forgot: thanks for the effort and very nice job!

As the matter of fact, I like the design, just with few issues: 1) Fix the font color in text boxes: if the system's theme color is using light color for fonts (usually on dark themes) the result is very problematic to read (just right now for me!) 2) Bad alignment poll's options with FF on Linux: the text is below the radio button instead the right side. I don't know why people say the site is slow, actually it's much faster than previous.

money

... on the other hand, this is a good thing (just only because other are doing better efforts, not because MS is standards' friend)
