I didn't ask you to solve the question of, "Where they can figure out HOW to hack its guts", that would be a pointless question to ask, here of all places.  I asked you how are they going to figure out that they CAN hack its guts?  Mark said that he had to press a two key combination to get dropped into an evaluation prompt and that he could start hacking right then and there.<p>A kid with a new computer today has gotta figure out first that it CAN be programmed and then what a good way to program it is.  If he's got no guidance and no foreknowledge, he'll be floating in a vast, featureless ocean of jargon, languages, libraries, and frameworks.<p>We've drowned the burgeoning tinkerer before he even had a chance to start.  Apple's just held the funeral at sea.
