Your concern is worthy, but its not entirely black and white: first of all, a lot of the money is in things such as stock options instead of cash. Selling that stock is always an option, but doing so can spook investors and thus quickly damage the worth of the remaining stock.

5% is obviously hypothetical, especially in light of recent surveys showing walmart employees are often well below the poverty line.

Pay lobbyists to lobby for laws that ensure the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor? After a few million dollars, it seems like you'd run out of shit to buy.

Plus beards are super manly and get you all the hot womenz. I highly recommend them.

Or, you know, don't shave ... for your health!

Based on a lot of the comments so far, I'm fairly certain my readership looks like the cast of Duck Dynasty, which is awesome :)

Don't play them.

The primary reason that GoT is so heavily torrented is because HBO does not make it available legally in many parts of the world, while also making it impossible to get without a cable subscription in others.

I feel so blessed to not have so many emotional issues that I can just enjoy his wonderful art unhindered by irrational emotions.

Once our accounts and the online stores are linked (which is supposedly in the future), I wouldn't be surprised if virtual console titles are like cross-buys on PS3/Vita for WiiU/3DS

Ah, sorry I misunderstood. That would be awesome and is something they should be doing.

There's a rumour that at least some of the games you buy on VC can be played on 3DS and Wii U... http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstor…

Please. That's a baby script.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with this. PayPal has been a problem for a lot of businesses, and I doubt any government in the world will intervene.

Given that governments have written the book on being absolute dicks with our money on a whim, I wouldn't hold my breath.

You know after someone mentioned earlier in the article that gaming is going more mobile all the time anyway, it might be neat if Nintendo made a portable console that will just stream to the TV out of the box, but can be used as a portable otherwise. Effectively it could combine their console and portable markets.…

No. Nintendo specified that videos can't be longer than 30 seconds.

How about:

Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone, but, aside from the slow start, Twilight Princess is my favorite LoZ too. Possibly their most beautiful and fascinating installment.

The difference in quality between online video and television is quickly becoming negligible. Welcome to the future, baby!
