Suprisingly balanced article by a mainstream (i.e. non-geek) newspaper.

I actually consider The Economist to be a geek magazine, but not a s/w or h/w geek, but business/politics/economy geek news magazine. (Also a subscriber for many years.)

Yes. I also subscribe. I probably should have written 'non-computer geek magazine'.

I realized The Economist was a decent news organization when I started reading positive stuff about open source there in the late 90ies. I have been a subscriber ever since.
