He doesn't own a mobile phone and he is proud of it. And he thinks virtualization is over-hyped. Find out what else we prize from Linux guru Linus Torvalds. "Linux has done what I wanted it to do for the last fifteen years, literally. So since very early on my motivation actually came from the outside: my motivation came from problems that other people see. I don't see the problems, my usage model is actually fairly simple and it's still the same development model that I tend to concentrate on. So I am actually motivated by other people's issues, and sometimes they make me go 'those people are just crazy, that's just insane', but sometimes the crazy people have some of the most interesting problems too."

So, to embrace technology you need to use everything possible, even if you find it annoying and disturbing? Care to explain exactly WHY should he own a mobile phone, eh? Does a mobile phone suddenly make a person an idolized god instead of a "tosser"? Or could it be that you're just here trolling and making a completely jackass of yourself?

Linus is a tosser ... "doesn't own a mobile phone and is proud of it". Way to embrace technology. Don't tell me, he's like Stallman as well and doesn't even use modern things like a web browser
