It will be great If they allow you to run a non spyware OS on it. Not like Android, iOS or Windows.

quite old news... it looks great... to the point where I'm thinking it's just a piece of art, that'l never reach the market... or with lots of defaults and crazy price.

well... it will depend on which modules are produced. Interesting.

I'm excited enough about Project Ara to conveniently ignore most of my doubts about it for the moment.  

And wow, if something like this (also old news) ever becomes real...

I think a picture of that is used in most of the presentations on it.

At first I wasn't too fond of Project Ara because of who was behind it, but I do like the ideas.  I like it more as time goes by, even if I won't buy any of the stuff.  I have even suggested to someone looking at getting a new fone that they wait for this.  They came up with a different solution, but at least they know that their are people out there looking at options to reduce waste from "disposable electronics".
