Computers should be appliances that don’t get in the way, but that you can have fun with if you want to.

We can’t make computing apolitical, but we can be upfront about the politics we have. We believe:

  • working together is better than working alone
  • computing should be a fun experience
  • the computer should leave you alone by default, but invite you to tinker with it
  • the computer is, in a very fundamental way, yours.
