Why are linux users scratching their heads?
Because they are the ones paying for software that they do not use!
Regardless of whether the machine they buy is set up with MS or Mac software, they have to pay for a preloaded OS that they have no intention of using.
How bout an article on how buyers should not be forced to buy ANY proprietary, expensive, unnecessary, software with their hardware purchase?
How bout giving consumers the choice to keep $150 of their hard earned money in exchange for not recieving software that they have no intention to use?

Who's afraid of a camera phone? 1. cops 2. sluts 1. cops should get their act together 2. sluts should put on some clothes Oh wait my bad, I just asked the people who are the potential problems to do whats right in the first place. On second thought I suggest stripping everyone else of their freedom so you can go on beating (presumably until proven guilty) innocent citizens and flaunting your half naked bodies for every eye other than that of a camera.
