Parent article: Ubuntu, non-advertisements, and spyware

The last sentence in our editor's article was very well said. Of course, as Free Software gains traction in all levels of computing, there'll be lots more people/organizations/companies trying to monetize/profit from FLOSS, but perhaps I'm just restating what our editor described.

I'm gonna have to get the latest Ubuntu, run Dash, and then search for "vib" just so I can find out what other kinky items the search may turn up! (Sorry, I just had to share an uproarious laughter moment.)

Trying to run any of those old Xlib apps would make your session NSFW.

Seriously, I think this is an issue for slow typists, that type a letter at a time and confuses the partial searching.
