Big fan and daily reader of both Tim Bray and Hugh McLeod's "Gaping  
Void" - warning, some language there not appropriate for some more  
sensitive offices or with children present.

One of the major reasons a number of my friends are moving from  
Winders to more cross-platform, open-source solutions is the *lack of  
passion* on the platform. Tim Bray blogged in another recent article  
that "Microsoft has lost its mojo" and I strongly agree.

Well, in the last year, F'n Cool has included:

You Tube
The OLPC - sleek, elegant in a Fisher-Price way, capable, low-power
MythTV, especially sleek front ends that fit in the stereo rack
Gigabytes in keyfobs
Screencasts - video presentations screen-scraped - easily done to  
demo HOWTO (cite: http://dabodev.com/documentation)
BitTorrent
CMSes grown up to be application-development platforms
Python
