Linux now makes ice cream. Can your OS do that?
The brain of the MooBella uses Red Hat running on pretty basic off-the-shelf hardware. It has a wireless connection for remote maintenance, and you order your ice cream on a 15" touch screen. Even if you would never run Linux on your own PC, you have to admit it's good for something. Check out a video of this sweet (har har) technology after the jump.

My OS runs Steam, can your OS do that?
Seriously, it's all in the software. So what if developers decides to use the Linux kernel as the base? It's not like they can't do the same using a copy of Windows.

As a matter of fact, yes, it can. Thanks for asking.

Ubuntu and other Linux distributions have been running Steam with Wine for years. Learn to google bro.

@lifeisenergyandenergyislife: Yeah, like if I didn't already know that >_< Even Macs has been running Steam through CrossOver for years. The point was that Steam isn't officially supported on Linux but they runs it anyway, just not native, so everything is basically in the software used.
It's not like an operating system limits the software possible to run anymore since it's all the same hardware. What you just needs is a "translator" between the different APIs.

What the heck is up with people saying "this" on the internet? You haven't even finished your comment.

We apparently have one of these on campus, though I haven't seen it.

You sound fat. And possibly nerdy.

2,85$/scoop?
The scoops should better be large scoops then.

This S**T is TASTY! They have one at my college. Ultra smooth and not too sweet. No fillers, or anything, just a few ingredients. Cream, sugar, flavor, egg (prolly) and a few others depending on flavor/mix-in. They didn't have an ingredient list, but the company demoed it one day and told me when I asked.

Not as cool as the android based microwave.
