    Actually Linus is holding a 3D holographic Tux postcard from the future, you can't see it though because someone has to write a kernal patch for it still... #linustorvalds

    Maybe Torvalds isn't a douchebag and likes/appreciates other Operating Systems. #linustorvalds

    @VenomIreland: Well, when you consider the juxaposition of the article with the "more about #linustorvalds" box on the RHS--where the second article is "Torvalds Family Uses Windows, Not Linus' Linux," I'm thinkin' you pegged it.

    Well, it wouldn't be pirated - that pic's from Yodobashi Camera, a big legit retail chain.

    Also, is it just me, or does Japan seem to be the place to be for Windows 7 launch hype? Weird... #linustorvalds

    Inspires me to do a Sistine Chapel depiction of Gizmodo's editors and commenters all entangled, in the nude, at their ivory-toned laptops and desktops.

    Quibbles:


    Why does Jobs have man-hands?

    Was this drawn by the artistic director of Fable?

    Why is Jobs in violet?

    Why isn't the MacOS 8 wallpaper or the Aqua Wallpaper the background?

    Why not have the rainbow Apple logo in the background?


    And Gates belongs in the center. Discuss.

    @OMG! Ponies!:





    Jobs is in a black turtleneck. Blacks tend to look purplish in stained glass.


    And I'd argue "Bliss", the default XP background, would be most appropriate.

    Correct me if I'm wrong. Is this not somehow blasphemous?
