About the thing about video games: Thats a broad generalization. I mean, I currently play Portal 2. That certainly does not rot your brain. You quite have to bend your mind to be able to play it! You have to understand more than the 3D space.
About Barack Obama: What about the miss treatment of Bradley Manning? That certainly happened under Obama. They made him stand naked in front of his cell for minutes! And there never was a trial. That's not a democracy in my book.
I use Linux. I need my KDE and Yakuake. Can't understand why one use an OS where you feel like one of your hands is bound to your back (by which both Windows and Mac OS X... maybe less Mac OS X). To pick one feature at random: Virtual Desktops is something that was there in Linux in the bloody 90ies! Only the newest version of OS X has it, and not implemented as well as e.g. in KDE.
@aikighost I wouldn't call Virtual Desktops a technical superiority. Its a usability feature. But yes, the state of audio is a mess under Linux. (I curse you PulseAudio!) Also the graphics driver subsystem of Windows seems superior to Linux: The driver can crash and Windows still continues working. With less colors/resolution, but it is still working! Still, I chose Linux because of the shell, Yakuake, kioslaves, KDE in general (except for solid), virtual desktops, ssh, "yum install postgresql".
Her comments about Barack Obama were surely naive even 6 mos. ago -- and today, to any informed person, are laughable. Obama's fought for almost none of the things he pretended to believe in, including the things she lists here, and so not surprisingly they didn't happen.
how funny! i did a program at uni writing a carpool application and here is one on TV! amusing that the very first thing she says is something rather aloof : "well done". is she an aristo?
And here I am Listening to you, looking up dyson spheres on Wikipedia, playing a strategy game and talking with friends.
Apparently this is rotting my brain.

@blenderpanzi The reason is that people in the real world choose their OS by what sofware it runs and not how technically superior it is.
For example even though I am a unix admin by day I use windows 7 at home because the music software I like to use works best works on windows.
