Hi all,  
I got an article published in Information Week about how SteamOS and  
Steam Machines can disrupt the world. I even got a chance to mention  
SDL and Sam and sing praises for that too.

I think you?ll enjoy it. It can be found here:

> Valve's SteamOS and Steam Machines could have big implications for Silicon Valley and Hollywood.

It was supposed to go live today, but actually leaked out early over  
the weekend and already got mentioned in some places like:

But any additional PR is welcome (Tweets, Facebook, etc). (I would  
love to see this on Slashdot.)
