    Funny stuff. Apparently Google has been getting badly hacked by the Chinese since their refusal to comply with the Chinese government's demands for censorship. Facebook, on the other hand, rolled over for the Pakis by blocking the "Draw Mohammad Day" pages in Pakistan (The pages are still very popular in most other parts of the planet). Yet another reason to like Google, and yet more evidence of what a craptastic platform Microsoft Windows is.

    Good read. What OS are you using? I'm on Mac OS X right now but I do hope to get a Linux machine set up soon :)

    Windows 7. Yeah, I know, craptastic but I still use it. It doesn't stop me from complaining about it though. I had to completely skip Vista and went straight to 7 from XP. I've tried several times to settle into KDE, but I just cant do it. As a server platform I run nothing but Fedora. I suspect Android will be coming out on the PC platform soon which should be interesting.

    Windows 7 I have never actually used, although from the TV ads it looks like a nicer, "friendlier" interface than previous versions - although the dock, or whatever Windows is calling it, is a total Mac OS X rip off.

    Good going on the Fedora, too :)
