"Many people are looking to Ubuntu to be something that it is not: A mass market ready operating system designed to work with the same level of compatibility as Microsoft Windows. Where people get confused is in believing that if Ubuntu, king of the Linux distros, is not able to take the marketplace by storm, then something must be broken with desktop Linux. In this article, I'll explain what it will take to dethrone the mighty Ubuntu and gain a market share so large that it will eclipse anything seen by Ubuntu to date." More here.

"Maybe some of you have already heard the rumor about Blizzard banning innocent people. Well that is really true. On november 14/15 about 50% of all Cedega World of Warcraft players got banned with the false accusation of having used "third party software designed to automate many aspects of the World of Warcraft game play experience". Since then banned players are trying to get their accounts unbanned with the help of Transgaming staff, but no real progress was reached. For the public Blizzard states that Warden - the anticheat tool of World of Warcraft - would never give a false positive just because of using Cedega.
All the banned users who tried to apply to Blizzard to unban their accounts just got an autoresponse corfirming their ban. In the background Transgaming staff seems to work with Blizzard to reveal the true reason behind the mass ban and get the accounts of their subscribers unbanned again.
