I felt parts of me resonate with the Nerd Stereotype. It made me laugh.
There is a good description of a personality requirement I found on this blog (http://blog.boxee.tv/2007/08/08/wanted-a-code-poet/) for a programming job in Israel typifying the stereotype:
"someone that can write PHP with two hands tied behind his back, but dreams in C++.
favorite beach book reading: design patterns (hard cover edition, signed by the authors)
favorite debate topic: LAMP vs. J2EE (prefers LAMP, but can argue both sides of the issue)
favorite animal: penguin.
hobbies: none.
(social skills are not a requirement)
if you think you fit the bill please send us an email (don't forget to mention your favorite compilation flags for the Linux kernel)."
Obviously they're trying to find someone of the stereotype - they'd be the best for that job. I laugh at my Nerd side, it's only just the beginning of personality development.

They are planning an update by the end of January:

Doesn't look like there is one - maybe it's a boxee specific thing. This was the closest I could find: http://blog.boxee.tv/2009/06/14/opencourseware-on-boxee/ but it's a bit light on detail.

Thank you. I think the reaction will be pretty good. It's the start of things to come as Boxee has the goal of being on all platforms. An interesting byproduct of the Boxee box is the remote that they will also sell separately.
They will also be releasing the code to the boxee box (http://blog.boxee.tv/2010/01/07/boxee-box-internals-revealed-nvidia-te… which is interesting since it runs on tegra 2 (which runs dual core ARM 9). I'm assuming that means they have ported Boxee to arm architecture, though I could be wrong there.
