    Tell that to my 2 year old. He works a mouse just fine, can read a decent amount of words, and can use the remote on the appletv to play Cars or Thomas the Train. Still poops himself though.

    but I'd say it'd be unfair to call for a tarring and feathering of Schmitt, followed by a public castration of the board of directors.

    Unless of course, more shenanigans are revealed.

    The only other non-developer "beta" that I can remember is OS X Public Beta. And that was just so everyone could play with it, almost as a novelty. OS X has become much better since then. This is probably very similar.
