well then show your son how to make an analog clock with moving hands (calculated with sin's and cos') that hangs on a building inside GTA, made with perhaps some game mod script... adapt with the time
the level of technical ingenuity would be similar to the old clock of your own. the surrounding resources / infrastructures have advanced to a point, where the know-hows of making a simple clock in, say, DOS or Windows is minimal, below that of your own days.
The article talks about the lack of vision on the part of GNOME. It's the application, stupid! If GNOME or KDE or any other desktop platform for Linux only concentrates on itself, there can be only so far that any of them can go if they only concentrates on itself.
What the vision needs to be is to line up hundreds of commercial software vendors to port their software to linux. The day we see this mass porting is the day we will see linux being seriously adopted on the desktop, regardless of the technical merit of the desktop itself, it could suck for all people would care, but it had to do something useful, i.e. apps! Give me an ugly desktop, but tons of useful apps, I will take that any day over beautiful eyecandy any day.
When I look at it on paper, the natural pronounciation that came to my mind is W-2 as in web 2.0. But then it's just me maybe I am too focused on the internet...
