#3What have I expected? He really says it and gives the finger.

#4TLDR: Linus at a Q&A, a woman asks why Nvidia still isn't providing any support for Optimus on Linux, Linus responds that Nvidia is being really difficult about that without good reason and "Fuck You Nvidia!" (flicks off the camera).
Her question actually starts a minute earlier than the link:

PS - Bravo Linus. This is issue is a real PITA, and a bit incongruent considering the historically awesome driver support Nvidia has provided for Linux.

#5It's a shame he doesn't go in to specifics, just saying "Fuck you" makes him look like a child, which I am sure he isn't.
What is the problem?

#6Aside from the FU, its a nice and interesting talk with an engaging Q&A that spans: decision making, being blunt by choice, micro-optimization, licensing, commercial interests, limited success on the desktop....

#7From "If you like subversion, you are ugly and stupid" and now this. I always enjoy this man's talks.

Unlike Intel and ATI, Nvidia doesn't play nice with open source developers.

Presumably he said that because nVidia makes it difficult for developers to develop open source drivers for nVidia devices

#10I'm behind the times here, but it took me a second to realize this was really Linus in the video. I still think of him as looking like the now-10-year-old photo gracing his Wikipedia article (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Linus_Torvalds.jpeg), but he looks a lot older here, possibly accentuated by the business attire.
