Trouble has been breaking out at the north pole ever since Mr. S. Clause was alerted that KDE 4 will not be released in time for Christmas. Although no official statement has been made, the speculation is that there may not be enough time to order replacement toys for all those geeks.

In a further worrisome development, the coal industry announced a price increase in response to unusual demand from a north pole buyer whom they declined to indentify.

Despite these grim circumstances, there is still hope. Mr. S. Clause plans to give all of his elves one-week courses in computer skill and programming. He hopes that if all his elves assist the KDE team, they can still pull off the release of KDE 4 before Christmas and save the day!

The Real News
The KDE team has decided to delay the release of the much anticipated KDE 4.0 until January 11th, according to KDE Dot News. This is not the first time KDE 4 has been delayed and it seems like the KDE team is, understandably, having trouble meeting the level of the excitement surrounding KDE 4. Still, I believe that the KDE team made the right call. Would you rather have a half-baked version a month earlier or a really incredible desktop a month later, or even a year later?
