I can't get past the video depicting a 12 year old boy listening to Spoon and watching The King's Speech. Have you ever met a 12 year old boy?

So this is google's crazy impression of what kids look like now. He can listen to 'adult' music/movies, but the guts of this tablet are _completely_ hidden.
When I, and probably much of this site was that age I was dicking around with Linux distros and trying to get nvidia binary drivers to work so I could play quake 3. Then there was that whole thing when I discovered shell scripts and python. There are cs learning apps for android, but nothing like opening up a bash shell in linux and getting the python interpreter and command prompt. Hopefully that kid has access to a real computer, and a bloody password on his account.

Spoon was my favorite band when I was 12.
