    So far, all the comments have been deriding or contemptuous, and that really applies to the article as well. In an age where computer literacy is becoming increasingly important, this is a terribly important, not to mention fun (as in enjoyable, not ridiculous) piece of news. I would not be surprised to see projects like this bringing a lot of interesting innovations to the 'mainstream' computer market as well.

    @webster32: You can not ctrl a hamster.


    You can only hope to contain it.


    You can, however, f1 a hamster. You will probably lose week after week in a fiery and expensive spiral of shame. But you can do it.

    @Earthslide:


    I think the best way to retaliate isn't to report the comment, or post a snarky reply...instead, just let the comment sit there, near the top of the page...looking utterly nonsensical.

    @akashhhhh: I agree. And in fact, I think we must keep this thread long, so that it sits on the front page, highlighting for all the world to see shoelessone's belief that if something references India in any way shape or form, you can just type the word "curry" nonsensically and be clever or humorous or "not a jackass" when in reality none of those are true.
