Sure, WP8 has its quirks but I don't think it's all that bad? The interface is clean, the OS is smooth and the app store has quite a few useful apps (although a few major ones are still missing).

You could always look at open source projects that use Python to get an overview of how design and dev work is done, and dive into whatever you feel comfortable with. Learning Python the Hard Way by Zed Shaw is a good book if you're looking

Regarding the trackpad, I had a regression going from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 a couple of years back where the trackpad would freeze without fail during the first few minutes after booting. It took a couple of weeks for an update to fix it. T

NASA and other space agencies need more funding stat! Private space exploration is fine, but there's something to be said for placing science ahead of company interests. Slightly off topic comment, I know, but watching zero gravity videos m

Um, hasn't this been posted and reposted already? Not trying to be a smartass, but I thought this article was already pretty popular, and generally the standard response to any beginner asking how he could learn X in 10/21 days.

iTunes. I know Banshee is an alternative, but it seems to have trouble with syncing my books, for which I need Calibre as well. It would be nice to have an all in one solution that didn't suck as bad as iTunes.
