Comparing "KDE 4" and "GNOME 3"

There is small trend currently to write a blog entry or article comparing "KDE 4" and "GNOME 3". Now, I'm not involved in the least with the GNOME 3 efforts (no big surprise there, I'm sure :) so I can't and won't comment on what they are doing now or ...

choices and punishment

With all due respect Aaron, I've seen this go on too long. At the start, I believed in 4.x a lot. Eventually, I too moved to gnome. If you read Linus's comments, it's not about "precisely one" user. He says that he doubts he's the only one that KDE ...

Dear Glyn Moody

Plasma backgrounds

But can they make coffee? I'm going to take a leaf out of Zack's book and admit it - I actually touched myself while reading that post (although I did not - quite - rub my nipples). People often have an obsession with playing movies in the part where ...
