After time and time again being total jerks, even to the point of Linus Torvalds giving them the middle finger, Nvidia now does a 180 on their policies regarding open source drivers for Linux.

One might somehow suspect that this is connected to other recent announcements regarding Linux... Hum-de-hum..
"I saw [Twilight: Eclipse] in theaters with a girl I was dating at the time. I spent more time staring at my toes and wiggling them than I did watching this abomination. When Edward proposed to Blank Face, I finally looked up with a revelation.
I blurted out loud, in a dead silent theater full of teenage girls on opening night "Wait a minute, Edward has no blood flow. How does he get an erection?" I heard several men laughing, and had several girls turn and stare at me.

I did not get laid that night." - Berengier817

it is actually funny when smaller companies force bigger ones to move.

Nvidia are pretty much just playing it safe and not taking any risks with their primary market, seeing as they are far from dominant in the mobile market and have no hand in the next-gen consoles at all.
