Maybe this isn't intuitive for me, but logically doesn't overclocking increase cpu power usage hence decrease battery life? how does it increase battery life?

Please search the forum for that one... basically, the higher clocking doesn't increase power consumption that much (certainly not when running at lower voltages), but overclocking lets the CPU go to power-save mode much faster because the work is done faster. More idle time = less battery use.

The stuff the OP mentioned in is post is not all that special. Who in the world would want to run Win95? I understand that it was done because it could be done, but it doesn't mean it's useful to the everyday user. Skype is not special until skype allows us to video chat with any platform user. Not just N900 and windows users. Lastly, Nitdroid is not fully usable (yet). These are just some of the points that I decided to pick on.
What makes this phone so special in the community behind it. The fact that we have dedicated developers that do it for the love of the device is pretty sweet. I was really looking to go back to android after coming to this forum. It just felt like all hope was lost when reading a lot of the negative threads about no more support and then confirming it at sites like engadget and giz. But, I honestly couldn't find an android device that had the build quality of this phone. The sliding mechanism is the best I have ever used. Also, the fact that I have a terminal right out the box is bada**. I can install ssh clients to login to servers or ssh servers so I can login to my phone. This phone is awesome and will always be awesome. I finally found a phone that I like and will not get finicky on for a good while. Just my humble 2 cents.

Note for any terminal noobs: Typing "rm -rf /" as root (first post) will delete everything, including the OS. If you're wondering whether to try it, don't.
