Did you think about what you were trying to say?

If I wanted to read the daily male I'd go there.

UKTIP has no memory of brilliant Britain getting its ass spanked by a single, lone European [teehee] currency speculator a few years back?

None at all it seems...

The saddest thing is that you think you are being rational.

OK, I'm assuming you assume you are being rational.

how?

I'm no longer sure if you aren't just hawking this for your own amusement.

Do you not see any flaws anywhere?

For example; does it not strike you that 'long tail' might also have to apply to consumers and purchases.

Or; that by their very nature not everything can be no 1.

Please do not mistake opinion for cogent thought.

Stop hijacking news stories...

SUSE has long been associated with KDE.

SUSE has long been associated (vilified even!!) with a more relaxed view on competing license interaction. The fundamentalist approach to license intolerance as championed by genomes and youbuntus is tempered in OpenSUSE.

That is another of SUSE's USPs - alongside its preference for KDE...

Headlining changes to doctrinaire and inflexible [by your own admission] user interfaces when reporting a beta is not objective news reporting – you're devising an artificial agenda – like the 'mainstream media' you criticise..

Some consumers might consider complete inflexibility and a refusal to permit customisation as doctrinaire, off-putting and a deterrent to adoption. Not you.

This kind of me-too reporting is one of the prime factors in pushing consumers away. By all reliable accounts most OpenSUSE consumer use the default choice, [I know I do]

Why not pander to the mass-market?

Could you not force yourself to admit that OpenSUSE defaults to KDE?

befuddled guy or silly person goes shopping.. Anyone interested?

Could you keep personal excuse systems out of a news reporting and analysis site..

This piece is offensively self-indulgent and the absence of sense and reason does not add to charm or interest you think it had..

Still, I might be wrong - perhaps your shopping choices truly are fascinating given the amount of essays on shopping you provoked. Sad.

only your kind of nostalgia permitted...

Jeez, what is the point of this piece...

Given a neverending stream of narrow-minded rose tinted nostalgia consciousness - any craptacular psion just gets the drool going...

Why so hard on other Canutes?

oh god oh god oh god but thanks

you are right, there were a lot of ubuntu fanatics. It was quite unpleasant. They made a lot of noise.

They went away to fanatic about something else. They are done. They are not coming back.

Ubuntu was never friendly, it was not easy, it was not coool.

It's too locked down to be a consumer/geek friendly netbook thingie

I mean, how do I get a widget on the desktop?

Even an icon perhaps? No? Change the taskbar?

If you wanted the desktop then you canoncomical people lost the plot about four years ago.

Just do secure server computing or something like that. whatever

and as above said we don't really care, if we ever did believe the hype..

it's all going to end well - really.

Once upon a time in the olden days Palm also decided to use winnows when it was under similar media fire.

That turned out well didn't it?

No similarity?

No ringing bells?

Any organisation hiring former MS execs should find out what they are really getting.

read your own stuff first, then post your gem

What is it with you? Still in 'hive mind' mode?

Even reg reports that apple phones are tanking - see stuff on same page [as of today]

Not you - still banging away promoting a brand and conception that has peaked.

On the other hand at least you reported that Nokia still sells the most

Was that so tough?

wrong saving...

Town councillors? So, are they a target market?

Not exactly renowned for their sense of style or good judgement.

A bit of a backhanded advertorial.

These things are so laden with aspirational PR guff that one way to save money might have been to ask the company for a fee NOT to disclose this little nugget.
