Can we PLEASE leave the "analysts" out of this?
Analysts are people who pretent to be the know-all, end-all experts in every topic possible, when in fact they just barely know enough to write clever little articles about it - or they would actually work in a field and get paid big $ per hour instead of being paid by word count.

There will NEVER be "the year of the linux desktop" as long as John Doe can't buy a machine preinstalled with ... ok, WHICH distro and WHICH desktop environment, anyway... as easily as walking into best buy and grabbing one off a shelf. Because THAT is what drives the windows majority: every tom dick and harry has windows preinstalled on their best buy box, and that in turn makes companies decide to base their DE around windows, because "everybody knows it already".

Comment Coinbase (Score 1) 63

I've dabbled a little bit in cryptocurrencies, until coinbase charged me a whopping 85% in conversion fees. They basically stole most of my money. ...thank gods it was actually only 90 dollars that I actually got as free cryptocoins for signing up with a few related services. Still, annoying as f*ck. They come by their abysmal BBB rating wholly deserved.

TL;DR: People, stay away from coinbase.

Kinda reminds me of that lawsuit in NY where some parents organization tried to shift blame for overweight kids to McDonalds...
