#3Mark Pilgrim's was interesting.
I also liked Richard Stallman's and Jason Rohrer.
They were nice departures from the standard '15" macbook pro connected to a 30" inch cinema display'
I know that The Setup aims to interview interesting people and not interesting setups, but these three were the ones I can remember that were different.

It's quite humbling to see the hardware he is using (9" display) just because it's all that runs entirely on free software.
In almost every other article people seem to love gadgets and have a lot of cool ones, but they only measure the convenience of owning one (hence all the Apple gear I'd say).
Stallman is the only one that looked at the implications of owning non-free software and he's showing that all his campaign isn't just talk.

#6None really. Something I found surprising about this site is the minimal use Linux/*NIX get from this personalities. I found surprising tha most people used Mac OS X exclusively. I like Mac OS X but I don't think I could use only that.
