There's Light In The Tunel For Linux
Valve announced the limited availability of Steam for Linux. This is indeed great news for the Linux community. In fact Linux users are never considered in the plans of the making of games in other gaming companies. If Steam for Linux get's released, more and more titles will get added that will support Linux, we'll see a lot of PC users turn to Linux ( because Linux rules :) ). There's currently a free-to-play available for Linux gamers, with the game Team Fortress 2 and a few other titles. Valve received 60.000 requests for participating in the Steam for Linux beta and most of them were from the Ubuntu distro community. That means that Steam for Linux will be available only to that distro for this beta, but they promised to expand and include other popular distros as well (please, please, please, support Mint)

Biased Results
I saw this video today of a guy drop testing a Google Nexus 7, an iPad mini and an iPad3. Well, my first thought was that the dropping test done on this video isn't really a comprehensive test. To get real results you should drop test more than one of each of the devices and gather more data.
Here is the video by the way:
Even the conclusion on this video is bad, "...the iPad mini held up best." What? How much did apple pay you? The only one that survived all tests was the Nexus. Both apple products had their screens shattered completely, while the Nexus took minor damage. My conclusion from this video is that the Nexus is the best, durability-wise. But I will say it again, you need a lot of drop tests and water submersions to truly get conclusive results.
