      I'm personally glad that Google+ is no Facebook. There's a lot of very bright people posting on it, especially from the Linux development world, without being drowned out by a billion 12-year-old Miley Cyrus fans.

        What's it like working for the Chocolate Factory? I used to enjoy how there would be like 27k FB likes of a news item and like 17 +1 or whatever back in the day. That said we can agree Farceb0rk sucks ass but well Google+ is not even relevant enough to have an opinion about these days.

    We ever going to see V5 with some fresh thinking?

    For a moment I thought there would be a new Linux - rather than an insignificant minor version release.
