Please don't tell me you're that naive. While strictly in terms of health teen pregnancy may be fine but you have to consider the social aspects. The mother will probably drop out of school so there goes any chance of a decent job. It's a very stressful thing, especially when the fathers tend to leave, for someone so young and the upbringing of the child will undoubtedly suffer. Increase rate of suicide compared to other teenagers. There's a bunch of other problems too. Just type teenage pregnancy into google.
The parent brings up an important point. To many people the internet starts and ends with their web browser. While people are listing things like torrents and FTP to get the browser, I doubt Joe Consumer has any idea what those are. The best option would be to bundle a barebones browser.
Alioth hit it right on the head. Most people who claim "I suck at math" have a good understanding of the basics. Calculus is the first bit of "real" mathematics that people encounter in high school and they generally have a hard time understanding it.
I've been trying to install Linux on this computer for a few weeks now and I've tried 2 or 3 distros now. I can't get a single one of them to boot, something always goes wrong:(
You're right though, it's unlikely that the 'average user' has the proper software to rip DVD movies and knows how to use it. MP3s though, definately.

They could but why bother? What does an OEM gain by bundling say Firefox instead of IE? It's easier for the OEMs to maintain the status quo.

GoldenPalace.com must be considering purchasing it. They love publicity stunts and this is bound to get a lot of attention.
All of these consoles have been out for months now...when do they cease being "next gen"?
Unfortunately for those of us in Canada we're on track to reach absolute zero by the end of the year.
People like that exist. I'm one of them =P
