Planet Ergo

I'm sorry, I have been reading too much crap on the net lately. Including, but not limited to, articles arguing the Linux  Desktop is dead, and most recently Improving the Linux Desktop: 20 Needed Fixes.

All I can think when reading these articles... in this blog post;

1. If the author cares about it enough to write about it, it has value to the author. Hence, the glass is half-full, not half-empty, even from where the author is sitting.
2. If the readers read the articles (d'oh!) this topic must be hot-hot-hot. The author, though, has most probably NOT been one of the people who got what he/she/it is writing about as far as to be a hot-hot-hot topic.
3. The more one writes about Linux, no matter in what negative -slash ignorant- terminology, the more one makes "most of us", as Matt Hartley puts it, realize what we've done is probably the best that could ever have happened to the world we live in - in terms of what *we* could actually make a small difference in.

   "We" is a registered trademark of "Us". You are Free to (ab)use "we" and "us" in any way (im)possible.

4. All these articles are being tweeted. Guess what Twitter runs.
5. Understandibly, articles refer to "the ability to Google", but as lacking amongst users. Well, this statement is just expressing a certain level of ignorance amongst the authors, because it would simply be near to impossible to have or develop an ability to Google without Google running the product of our labour.
6. I'm still set on December 12, 2012 ;-)
