Saturday morning geek observations

Interesting that Linus Torvalds, the father of Linux, received more votes than anyone in the Top 20 software people in the world poll at JDJ. This article is for the serious geek or geek wannabe; it's 41 pages long. Thanks Slashdot for the heads up on a very interesting article.

Cringely has a different slant on the IBM/Lenovo transaction that still lingers in the news. Check out his view of this merger/sale/venture/world domination move by reading The China Syndrome. Written for the bizgeek AND consuming public at large.

Keeping up with the latest shenanigans of the present Hitler and Nazi incarnates? Read about the RIAA and company over at File Sharing Goes to High Court. These scumbags are almost as low as the spyware jerks. At the very least sterilize them so they cannot procreate. So simple; sell music online at a fair price and quit favoring Darth Jobs and iTunes.

Now is the time for all good hair dryers to come to the aid of their computers. The flood last week has had a lingering effect.
