I admit I am a geek. However, even I find this [strange.](http://www.globetechnology.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20040202.gthayfeb2/BNStory/Technology/) Does anyone else think this kid is going to have problems when he hits school? I can see some of the teasing now:

_Your the beta version_

- Didn’t your parents work out all the bugs\*
- You’ve got bad code\*

Simply from the title of the OP, I thought someone had named their child “2.0 Johnson” or something similar. But I think Jon Blake Cusack 2.0 is kind of cute. I can’t see an awful lot of teasing coming from this.

I saw this on bbc news website and thought about posting about it myself.

Poor poor kid!

If the 2.0 bit gets found out he _will_ be teased!

And it’s sure to be found out, what with it being bloody international news!

If this kid has to have surgery at any point, will he have to change his name to V2.1?

That wouldn’t be good. He should not rename until 2.2 so that we know that the surgery has created a stable version.
