"Future" police state?

I don't believe he said it makes no difference.

"there is only who has the military power to dictate terms." That's generally how these things work, yes. What were you expecting?

Fairly sensible advice. One quibble I have is the idea that computer science departments are somehow shortchanging students by not teaching them business skills. If you want to learn business, take some classes from the business or economics department. Or ask for advice from a businessman. Computer science professors should be teaching computer science, not business. It's kind of silly to expect otherwise.

Should be interesting to see how they define "bad."

I guess this might be focused on the consumer end, but if you're looking for this in the enterprise, you can get it from IBM and Oracle. You can buy Oracle (Sun) hardware, Solaris, WebLogic, and Oracle database and never use a non-Oracle product. Same with IBM.

And maybe I'm cynical, but "unified ecosystem" sounds a lot like "total vendor lock-in" to me.

Are there better quality images anywhere? On the Antartic Heritage Trust site it's just a crappy Flash slide show. Would be nice to see high res JPEGs.

So doctors get paid less than, say, used car salesmen, pawn brokers, payday lenders, etc?

What exactly is the point of ruining their contest?

I realize this article is from 2010, but it could have mentioned AMD, which does have a 5 GHz chip available now. It requires liquid cooling however.
