Joe needs an editor. I am serious.
For the most part I like Joe's work. He's done a decent job. But every now and then something completely unrelated to the story creeps in.
I suppose Saudi Arabia is "news" because he was there, cavorting with the enemy. Sorry, not enemy -- they are rich and proud sponsors of the US political system.
It would be better I think to hear about Linux in second- and third-world countries where for example the entire nation is not firewalled from the Internet. Saudi Arabia is hardly a hotspot of Linux or "IT" no matter what some unelected dictator "decrees".
I can think of many reasons to cover Linux in sub-Saharan Africa, South America, Russia or South Asia/Pacific. There are 2,995 reasons - at last [body] count - to avoid any flattery of SA.
