I fail to see how that ruling has any connection to running OS X on non-Apple branded hardware at all. If Apple was preventing you from running an OS other than OS X on Apple hardware then I could see it. On the other hand this article seems to be quite applicable.

No that simply means it's not the most accurate.

Hackers target the platform that is the most valuable to them. In the case of traditional operating systems or computers the market share numbers are so vastly different that the number one platform is target.

In the case of consoles, the numbers are close enough that hackers have chosen the platform with the most likelihood of having credit card information stored on them which happens to be number two.

I will leave the comments about which platform is easier to hack for someone else.

I believe it's actually Why build one when you can have two for twice the price. The twice and the price kinda rhyme so it rolls off the tongue a bit better and is more movieesque.

How much land does that 50 MW wind farm take up?

More important how much land will those 58 (8.9 billion / 153 million) 50 MW wind farms take up? Not to mention what is the cost of building conventional power plants to supply the power on days when it is not windy. Did you factor that in to your price =)

I'd also venture a guess that maintenance costs on 58 wind farms (+ supplemental power)would actually be more than the one nuclear plant just due to the quantity of them.

I'm all for alternative energy as supplements and for using it where it's practical, but at our current state of technology we can't depend on it yet.

The only one that I can give any level of dependability to is geothermal and obviously you can't build those just anywhere.

The U.S. needs Nuclear power plants, but I fear it's not going to happen until it's too late.

Anyone think that's it's a bit too coincidental that this was announced on the same day the stimulus bill was signed and troops were ordered to Afghanistan? Pretty much guaranteed to not get a single lick of major press.

Not true actually. He has 1 year to file the patent from this date. At least that's how it's supposed to work. With the patent system the way it is today who the hell knows.
