All I have is my own experience.
I stuck a new disk in my 5 year old vaio laptop and installed the
latest Ubuntu. Graphics, wireless network, power management all

I am surely not the only one who geeks out over silly putty - its non
newtonian (I think that is what its called) characteristics. Flexable

I think the phrase is Vertically integrated - just like the most
successful drug cartels in the world, Apple is extremely vertically

Nintendo have always been nice and vertical. They even control the
publishing of software for their machines. (Third parties can write

In the Java Posse podcast #266, Dick mentions he has been reading a
new Clojure book. He says he thinks it is an O'Reilly book. It is in
fact a Pragmatic Programmers book titled Programming Clojure by

Is there a good way to get iTunes port on Linux yet mainly for ipod
and iphone syncing? That would be a biggie for me to recommend Linux
or even Chrome to 'grandma'. Almost everyone I know has an ipod if

Yep. I started way back when Dreamweaver was too expensive for

dynamic JSP into the code generated by DW.
