How do you pronounce the following:

Thats all I can thing of at the moment, but I know I've had more of these on my mind recently..

Well... the creator of Linux has specified how to prounounce it. It's probably LIH-NUX or LEE-NUX.

And Intel's Viiv is pronounced like \"Vive,\" as Bill Gates cleared that confusion during his opening keynote speech during the Consumer Electronics Show this year. It was pretty sweet.

That's what I prefer, too.  But, I don't think that's the technically correct pronunciation.

Fer Nvidia, I say \"IN-VIDIA,\" and for SATA, I say \"SAY-TA\" or \"Serial AY-TEE-AY.\"

I contest that. You can't say to someone, \"You pronounce Linux, \"linux.\"\" You spelled it the same way. There's a reason dictionaries offer phonetic spelling... how can you possibly tell someone how to pronounce a given word using that same word as a guide, when that is in fact the word being defined? That's like saying the definition of the word tornado is... tornado...

Linux: lih-nux
SATA: S.A.T.A. or sometimes I get screwed up and say \"Say-tuh-say\"
nVidia: en-vid-e-ah (thats how I hear it on the worthless little startup movies before games).
