The Contiki team has just released version 2.1 of the open source Contiki operating
system for low-power, wireless, memory-constrained networked
embedded devices that typically have as little a few kilobytes of
RAM. The major highlight of this release is a unique energy
profiling mechanism that measures where energy is spent, and how
much energy that is consumed. This is extremely important when
optimizing for low-power operation: to know where to optimize, one
must first know where energy is spent. Other additions to the 2.1
release are low-power radio protocols that increase system lifetime
from days to years, and improved data collection routing protocols.

It (SymbOS) may be fairly well done, but offering trailers of "Kink Kong" and erotic pics doesn't do much for promotional value. I can think of ten reasons why this is bad (and it's the third time this week someone has done similar: linking pr0n w/ normal software, ugh).
