I watched the video on their site, and afterwards YouTube showed a video for this:

They look identical except for the logo. Is one of them a clone?

You'd still be able to do that with an X server running on top of Wayland, and there are various ways Wayland apps can be displayed on a remote server, avan on top of X.

Wayland should be able to support remote applications, it just probably won't use the X11 protocol. I've read that some of the possibilities for remote applications in Wayland are more efficient than the X11 protocol (though that doesn't mean they can't be used with X).

What's motivating Wayland-adoption is, I believe, a desire not for fancy animations and useless effects, but for smoother graphics. Nowadays there are all kinds of glitches and other imperfections. Also, Wayland is supposed to make the process of drawing graphics on the screen more efficient somehow and simplify the graphics stack or stuff like that.

It would be good if there was a practice of entrusting the code and all game assets to some foundation that would release the full game under an open-source license 20 years after release.

The premise does not support the conclusion.

Most people I know don't want to customize anything, they just want to use their computers to accomplish a task. The difference between an ordinary user and a super l337 hacker who goes as far as adding panel applets is huge.

There's no point in pirating software on Linux, since almost all the worthwhile apps on it are free. If someone wanted to pirate software, he'd use Windows, since the selection is much greater.

It's especially good for a name like KOffice. I never knew if I should pronounce it Kay Office or cofis (as in cough).

I think it has been somewhat fashionable since KDE 4.0 Alpha to use C instead of K.

To a certain extent, I agree. KDE's goals and future are breathtaking, but in terms of implementation not all the planned features have been implemented yet, and UIs are still being redesigned from scratch. I think of it as still being in development, but putting on a brave face on things by putting out the most usable and polished product they can manage under the circumstances. To me, KDE 4 won't be "ready" until all the major features have been fully implemented and integrated and the UI and interaction models stabilize. Nevertheless, I want to start using it ASAP, so I'll go for the first release I feel comfortable with, regardless of "readiness".

Then why not have GNOME reimplement itself atop KDE? GNOME UI, KDE tech, perfect combo, no?

I think it works because I is a word, and is incorporated as part of a somewhat descriptive name. I work. k work. Not the same.

Why would Canonical pay to have Dell preinstall Ubuntu? That doesn't make any sense. If anything, Dell might pay Canonical to help them to properly set up Ubuntu on the Dell machines.

How does an anonymous counting of active installs violate privacy? All this does is say to the server "I exist" without specifying who you are. The worst case scenario is that the server records the IP address the info comes from, and therefor knows that at date such and such IP this and that was used by an Ubuntu machine of a certain HW model. Where is the violation of privacy? There is no *private* information here.
