...I don't think Google's business strategy for this device was to cash in on the swarms of Philip K. Dick fans to make or break this item's success. If anything it is a homage but I don't think they're it is to make a significant sales impact because "Oh oh oh a new phone with vague allusions to a novel I like has been released so I better get that phone".
Grant it there are better installs out there for newer users like Mandrake (what I've been using recently). As long as they keep the installation down to a minimal and configure it right (like putting links to only programs they need on the desktop) then it could be used easily. However, I wouldn't necessarily call this learning. I am sure they have used a mouse before and can double click crap to make KEdit run.
Either that or you have to be interested. For some reason I am thinking people could care less what operating system they are used if they have little computer experience.
It is nice to see someone taking the dive into integrating Linux into a large scale situation. Especially "forcing" it on people who may have never used it. The best way to learn something is under pressure though and I wish them the best of luck at using this new system. Although I am sure the admin who is monitoring this stuff has a nice fat wallet now.
I mean cmon, who the hell would watch this crap? Secondly, it just involves thinking, I mean, there are hundreds or thousands of games that do so. I think they just stuck it in there to appease non-athletic people worldwide.
It is going to be a long time before laws involving computer useage are perfected. I shouldn't even dare to say perfected because our current laws are still flawed; and the worse thing is that there are many more fine lines to cross with computers.
Supports many different types of hardware and comes with some very useful programs if you select to install them upon setup. Quite easy to use and install.
Betting his parents were trying to raise the perfect son and he felt too much pressure. i.e. if he got in trouble for anything he'd get sent to a "federal pound-me-in-the-ass" prison.

I guess some stiffs haven't gotten a blowjob in awhile and have no sense of humor. Nice moderation job.

Seems to shed some new light on the previous post about the Cray SV1 and people dispelling Beowulf.
wtg on moderating the wrong person.
vmyths was mentioned in a wired story about 1 week ago, quite informative.
Can't say I've ever seen propane tank hurling, however an interesting idea.
Haha, uhm, ok.

Macs had become the king of the computer industry?
This coffee pot is the basis for many modern day porn sites. Quirky huh?
Unfortunately no one will do anything. Not to mention someone would have to pay for the costs to bring those satellites down into safe spots.
Screw lawn geese and dear, put a frikkin Russian space shuttle in your front lawn.
A lot of it is "natural" skill, however natural 3d gaming may be. I play FPS games for hours on end and haven't improved.
