Well yeah, legal things aren't cool. I'm sure they'll find something else that's still illegal to use/abuse/do instead

After 6831 (give or take) hours, I'm pretty sure the answer is "no"

Nice, that might make it almost as fast as Chrome!

Ok, but why would a hardcore Linux person want to play games that embody everything they hate about Windows in their mode of production, data gathering practices, politics, etc?

While I agree that banning legacy preference is good policy, how do you prove a violation exactly? And who is gonna do the proving?

If you want to make this work, and you should, you need to do something like total application anonymization, which means identity can't be deducible from any application materials. This is doable with standardized tests, which are a good approach to solving the admissions problem anyway.

So, college admissions should be based solely on standardized test scores.

You misassume my meaning. When I say I games are not art, I don't mean they are not as good / important than art. I just mean they are different. In fact, if anything, I think they are much more important than art.

You need quantifiable outcomes / performance metrics.

Haha, fair point. Anyway, I reckon that for Steve Jobs that attitude was at least as much a branding strategy as a sincere personal conviction. Though then again, it's not so easy to say where Steve Jobs ends and the iPod begins.
