Google forks Linux to make a mobile operating system, stripping out lots of familiar FOSS software and licensing requirements and replacing it with their own. Also it's written in java.

How unrealistic. That could never happen.

Granted. 80% of the servers now use Windows, and you broke the internet.

Granted. Linux Monthly now has a 20% share of the computer related magazine market, both subscription and newsstand. While most readers report buying it for the in-depth Linux news, many suspect they’re actually buying it for the centerfold. Surveys indicate 93% of Linux Monthly don’t know what Linux is. I will let your imagination run wild about the subject of the centerfold.

Granted.

Now everyone’s grandparents are calling you to help them get everything working the way it used to…
