This all has a vaguely 'Alice in Wonderland' feel: take the pill, drink the bottle, eat the cake and the whole world changes shape. Having seen more cases of drug-induced psychosis than most people would ever want to, I'll be keeping My Mo away from all pills, mushrooms and cheshire cats. What might a psychotic n900 do?

Satz, you're right, it is a complete rip-off of archebyte's misguided blog post. You can even see that I've said the same thing in the comments of that post that I said here.
That blog has some other great posts by the way. Just not that one.

RevdKathy: It is a refrence to the first Matrix movie, where taking the red pill kicks you out of the Matrix. But that movie was referencing Carroll's weird dreamlike classic.

Update packages to new beta versions, break compatibility with other applications, cause your device to randomly crash or freeze up.

Even if your an extras tester, don't go near red pill mode.

Not so much Alice in Wonderland but a reference to Neo's choice in the first film of The Matrix. Makes sense if you have seen the film and understand the choice being made.

Because when these good programs screw up your tablet and you will come to talk.maemo.org or IRC asking for help, we will not help you. Is it clear enough?
