Apart from the annoying fast food comparisons, what do you think about the basic point of the article?

Hmmm ... sorry but :
Photoshop can run on a netbook.
Some netbooks have very good keyboard, enough to write a novel.
Some netbooks actually runs OSX perfectly, with all the effects.
I believe that for most people with light computer needs, a netbook is enough.

...I'll just note that the pies at Jester Burger are no longer served at a temperature approximately equal to that of the surface of the sun. ...maybe I will like those Intel-powered phones ...

The article makes an implicit claim that netbooks can't do what most people do with their laptops.
Sure, it doesn't run Photoshop and you can't write a novel on it and it won't run shiny OS X flyout effects. But that's not what netbook buyers would use a laptop for, anyway.

I have often thought that the environmentally conscious among us should be figuring out ways to heat our houses with the heat generated from desktop CPUs and GPUs, or at least figure out some way to capture that heat and use it, maybe make a small steam engine to power USB devices or something?
