As a soon-to-be-new parent, I want to like this kind of site. I’ve given some thought to exactly how I’m going to get my daughter interested in science, technology, and literature.
But when I look over the site and see phrases like the following:
he has lots of gadgets in his hands and pockets. He has the latest Pocket PC and Music Player, his wrist watch is a Smart Object. He even has a name badge because he also happens to be a very valuable associate of our famous software manufacturing company.
(I bet he doesn’t own an iPod. At least he’s a blue badge-er and not an orange one. He gets the free T-shirts at launch)
and
My trusty Tablet PC goes with me to Ph.D. classes in quantum physics.
I’m reminded of the Little Orphan Annie decoder ring scam from “A Christmas Story”. - “Be sure to buy Microsoft products. A crummy commercial? Son of a BITCH!”
I also couldn’t pass level two of the “build a computer” game and I’ve been building computers since before they needed cooling fans. 
PS Ph.D candidates don’t go to class, they teach classes. Also I’m not entirely sure that Penicillium could grow in yogurt but I haven’t looked that up yet.

I couldn’t build computer #3 either. Don’t know what the deal was with that. Honestly though it’s not much of a kid-who-has-never-seen-a-computer friendly either. ‘he needs a DVD burner to make movies’ DVD BUrner? What the hell is that? Matches? Also teaching a kid to build a computer with only 128MB of memory is criminal
