Remember, violent offenders get out on good behaviour after raping women, while you, as a "l33t haxor" and "warez d00dz" will likely never see the sun again.
Ha! The joke's on them! I never see the sun anyway.
The difference being that almost no non-gadget-geek had a portable MP3 player when the iPod was released, while the cellphone market is already saturated.
One of the major points of the whole OLPC exercise is to get people in developing countries hooked up to the Internet and I'm sorry, but a platform that can barely run Lynx just isn't going to cut it there.
I also think that computers CAN be intuitive, but only by more closely mimicking the way we work without computers. Firstly, the mouse is nonintuitive. It's a concept grasped easily enough, but nothing else works that way. A pen or even a simple pointing interface (pointing at things, as in the Wii remote) is dramatically more logical. Arguably though, you can't really call computing intuitive until you can't tell you're computing any more. An immersive environment which is used naturally (through gloves and such) with full haptic feedback and the like is going to be the first intuitive interface... unless we get a useful natural language interface. Both have been a long time coming but the VR thing looks more likely to happen soon simply because all the parts are already here and in use.
Steering wheels on cars are also nonintuitive. We should be controlling them with reins.
I think tradition is the single largest impediment to advances in computing.
The Mega Man Zero series for GBA had very similar gameplay to MMX and was, imho, pretty good (MMZ3 was the best one, again, imho.) I've also heard good things about Mega Man ZX, but I don't have a DS.

That's why we need to increase our efforts to get the word out about the dangers of DHMO.
It's a cultural thing. The Japanese don't consider a vessel to be spaceworthy until it can transform into a giant robot.

Therefore, Linux is not ready for the desktop.

No Quatloos for you!

Which completely contradicts your earlier point.
The 1986 film put Rodimus in charge of the Autobots. That's hardly "doing it right."
I used to be able to watch movies for $4.25 (matinée) here in Toronto, but that theatre chain recently jacked up their price to $6.50.
It's a dupe from 30 years ago.
Also, religion.
Because GUIs are too clumsy and random. The CLI is a far more elegant interface, for a more civilized age.
Isn't the "risk of death from any cause" pretty much always 100%?
That's just 'cause we all browse from work.
Flash.
Up in the sky, look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's the joke!
The artificial black hole. ZPE is the 21st century equivalent of cold fusion.
They also went back in time at the end of Naked Time, but it had pretty much zero relevance to the main plot.
Strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
