Having grown up near Portland, I too was surprised about the historic levels of racism. Though in retrospect it is believable, considering the percentages of minorities is (or at least seems) so much lower than anywhere I've lived since.
My recollection growing up was that seeing a minority was a noteworthy occurrence, because of it's rareness. That changed when I moved into Portland proper, but I never really noticed racism there.
What kind of racism are you thinking about/describing, when you say you never noticed any? Like, guys in hoods? Confederate flags? that kind of thing?
I'm curious, because it seems like, if you're not a minority, you're going to miss out on all of it unless it's the Hollywood-ish in-your-face kind of racism.
I have no numbers to back me, but my impression is the vast majority of OS X users can't be bothered with doing backups even with a built-in Backup solution, much less a 3rd party one.
Time Machine isn't going to stop someone who places value on doing proper backups from doing them, and if it makes it easy enough for my mom do back up her files, then that's a net win — not marketing.
And hey, it only took me reminding her 5 times before she got the external drive and set up Time Machine — no family tech support involved.

Though I'd imagine this will not hold true with addons, seeing as there are vastly different versions of the V8 engine.
While Meteor does do a lot for you out of the box, it doesn't really prevent you from seeing what's going on. There are some good resources for seeing what Meteor is doing behind the scenes (meteorhacks.com and eventedmind.com) if one does want to dig in.
