In the real usage, you'll need the apps more than the updates. My wife don't care if her tablet is not on Android 4.3 (it's on 4.1), but for sure she wants the popular apps.

Nice discussion:)
But, basically what you want is a traditional action gamepad game to be played in a touch screen. In the other side, TD games are not very nice to be played in a gamepad. I'm being the Obvious Captain, but some kinds of games are better with the appropriate controls. TD, race, fps, strategy games, balloon trip (as you said) are better in touch. Action games are better in a gamepad. Others are nice to play with a keyboard + mouse. Others with a joystick (flying or space simulators). Sports games with motion controls (Wii Sports). Dance games with capture controls. Etc.
All these games (Jetpack Joyride, Rayman, Temple Run, Plants vs Zombies, Minions Rush) are not focused on gamepad gameplay. I.e., they do not rely on the player ability to press a combination of one-of-the-eight-directions + an action button. They rely on "touch in the correct moment", with some combination of the accelerometer (motion control).
And as for gameplay, point-and-click games work well, but other genres don't. I've tried to play platform games (similar to Super Mario Bros. and Mega Man) on a tablet's touch screen, and it's painful.
Don't try run PC or console games. Try play the tablet focused games. Like Jetpack Joyride, Rayman, Plants vs Zombies.
You're just trying PC games on a tablet. Do it the right way:)

... I have a bunch of Samsung products. But I hate they changed to use a proprietary connector very close to the Apple one. Then, they'll argue they're not an Apple wannabe.
If Ubuntu Edge is about plug it into a monitor and have the Unity desktop to use with a mouse, nice. If the way is like Windows 8, move the mobile interface to desktop, then, no thanks.

We, power desktop users, are in trouble. I strongly agree with you we need refinement, and what we get? Windows 8, KDE 4, Gnome 3. Developers of these desktops are more concerned in "fun to develop" than on refinement (which is boring to them).

I installed Ubuntu LTS with Unity due the same reason you switched to OSX: just works. In my DELL laptop, I just touched config to install Bumblebee. With a plus I can customize a lot of things if I want.
Additionally, as I'm a developer, much easier to handle apt-get than use brew. Mainly because is the same I can use in the servers.
New user is not aware of this feature (middle click paste). They are not aware of click in the middle mouse button in terminals or editors. So, remove it will just break advanced users, not help new users.
I have a Dell XPS, and I use Kubuntu 12.04. I use suspend to RAM everyday, rebooting only on kernel updates. So, just to make clear: the problem is on chipo devices, and this affects not only Linux.

How sad is when I see NASA and my mind automatically reads NSA. The dream is over :(

Why not turn Sourceforge in a Github competitor, providing more cool stuff, like, by example, Attlasian BitBucket?
Nobody forced Google to use Oracle old Java implementation compatibility

Enjoy your last memory upgrade.
Clsid, my comment was supposed to be just a joke, don't take me serious :)
Yeap, after your comment, apple fanboys will start to believe that Jobs invented webkit, Unix, etc
