Dude, you're comparing apples and washing machines. One is a laptop to teach third world children, the other is a PDA killer. Just because they're both small, cheap and run Linux doesn't mean they're aimed at anything like the same market.
Indeed, this is exactly (or very similar) to the idea in Buddhism that everything we see or think (etc.) is overlaid with an imputed illusion of which we already think the thing is or want the thing or person to be. Interesting.
I've heard it's from the Monty Python "Spam" sketch, but I've also heard it's a British thing from WWII - "Spam - everybody gets it, nobody wants it." - Does anybody have a definitive origin? Like the bug in Grace Hoppers log book?
That's half of it. Then lets get rid of all the "programmers" who have come to rely on IE's "Yeah, it's malformed, but I know what you mean" behavior. I say if there's even ONE missing (or out of order) then don't render the page, PERIOD.
That's not what it was designed to be. Picture a sales force or service technicians armed with these. Calendar, Google maps, IM, Open Office and Skype in less than a Kg. This is the unit that's going to put linux in a LOT of peoples hands. And who knows? Once they get used to Linux on the road, they might want it at home and the office.
I find him to be refreshingly contrary for a politician. He was just talking up open data formats, despite the fact that Microsoft is building a 500 million dollar data ceneter in his state.

You're not real clear on the concept of "funny", are you?
I get a Shrinky Dink when I go swimming :-(
"Oh, you're all a lot of useless idiots!"
"Oh yes! That was the reason!"
Now where is Superman supposed to change?
That's very very funny. And more-or-less what I was saying.

That a chimp would do it faster. A human would instinctively put a "name" on each number seen, thus slowing down the "processing".
Why would you want to memorize Asians?
"We can't let him in here! He'll see the Big Board!"
But soon they won't be...
Excellent!!
I know that. The log entry said something like "first actual case of..."
That's what I thought. It's almost as iconic to the Brits as the TARDIS. Do you have a citation, perhaps?

Nothing to see here, move along.

Actually, it's caused by the continential tilt. It causes all the loose cannons and nuts and bolts to roll towards California.
But it's a 14 minute video! Linked from the front page of Slashdot!!
Oh my.
Where's Jeff Han's lightbox multi-touch stuff?
Here kid, here's a quarter, get a real processor.
Oh come on. What could possibly go wrong?
