Making their way around the blogosphere:

The RAND Corporation’s 1954 mock-up of what they thought a home computer would look like in 2004 - now with convenient teletype!

There are many geek religious wars - MacOS vs. Windows, Windows vs. Unix, Linux vs. *BSD, vi vs. emacs, Kirk vs. Picard, the Avengers vs. the Justice League, etc. One of the key arguments for the ages is Star Wars vs. Star Trek - in a battle between the Empire and the Federation, who would win? Many die-hard fans have made empassioned arguments one way or another on various newsgroups and message boards, but fortunately, someone has taken the time to do the math.
