Wake me when he signs up for Twitter.

  Linus is exactly the type of person I'd expect to never Tweet.

"... Linus Torvalds starts blogging ..." He's been blogging for years in the kernel change logs. Sample ~ http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.20 for instance. Worth a read though as you can gauge what hardware is coming up that runs superior on linux. And there's more software to take a peek at ~ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/tracker

how can you be sure it's him? from the tone of the writing, I am skeptical!

  30 seconds in Google finds him mention it in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/6/300 http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/6/300

This is either very good or very bad..

  Why did I get downvoted? It was probably too short to be meaningful. What I meant that this can be good because it can show to people the "human side" if you like to open source. I see many people think Linux is only for slightly crazy fanatics and I believe that LT can do a much better job at representing the diverse movement than RMS and ESR (don't get me wrong I kinda like both of them). On the other hand LT can be a bit insensitive and turn people off (do you remember that GNOME controversy?)

    I didn't vote for this post or your original post. But I can tell you if you hadn't already been downvoted to 0, I would have downvoted you because your comment added absolutely nothing to the conversation. It was no different than saying "It might rain tomorrow, or it might not."

      how do I downvote you, then?

I actually found the entry on the Intel SSD rather exciting. I found it on Amazon but it seems like it's either not shipping yet or just started...couldn't find it on Newegg.
