Um, "sniggering?" That sounds borderline racist... I believe the word you're looking for is "snickering" (notice how one trips spell-check, and the other doesn't). In addition, how about using "no" instead of "non," which makes "non" sense at all.

Hypothesis (and headline) fail. Jonny Ive's voice does nothing to make these hot dogs being made any less gross. Nor, on the other hand, does the gross video deter me from wanting to eat hot dogs. So, the headline is wrong, the hypothesis is wrong, and I still like eating hotdogs. So this story might be a triple fail.…

I don't get it. If you really wanted one, you'd be paying attention to when pre-orders were available (set-up a Google Alert for "Wii U Pre-Order," for instance), and then you'd go out and get one as soon as the pre-order period is announced. And you'd only pay retail like most of us. No fuss, no muss.

Yeah, I just got an e-mail from Amazon today saying:

The one good thing is that it goes with your existing Wii stuff... and considering this is really a Wii 1.5 (or Wii HD, if you prefer), that's probably a good thing. But I do wish someone would do something different... like, make an olive green color for the FPS fans, or a red color for Mario lovers, or silver for...…

That's a good question, indeed. I had to go on eBay to track down a red box for SMB. I only paid maybe $10 for a brand new box, but it was still annoying I had to go to that trouble at all. I hope this is either a download that sits on the machine, or there's a case. Not some stupid cardboard sleeve.

Yes. But I'm less excited about it than any launch-day product I've ever purchased.

To answer the headline, no, probably not. It's very likely just a coincidence. But that's what you get when you create a logo that has virtually no uniquely distinguishable characteristics. Not rocket science, this.

Just go to Gamestop. They have the 2 bundles ready to order (I went and pre-ordered after lunch and they were already ready to go). I haven't heard anything about them ending pre-orders at the end of the day, so I would take that as myth. They'll take your money as long as they have things to sell (and sometimes even…

Here's the thing... I already have a media PC running J. River (used to run WMC7). Anyway, I currently have my Wii relegated to a second room that has more space for Wii shenanigans. So, what's to make me want to bring the Wii U into my living room? I'm guessing not much... I mean, I LOVE the idea, but until you get…

911? Love it.

Does the President realize where Romney comes from (hint: AMC)? Mr. Romney is probably more astute about the auto business (and business in general) than Obama will ever be, and we all know CAFE is more about politics than actual progress... half the country still gets electricity from coal, so electric power for…

Best logo they've ever had. The only thing I liked better was when they had the slightly angled version of the literal window, which gave it dimension and uniqueness. I do fear that this one is perhaps a tad TOO plain. But overall, it's good. And far better than the "design" efforts made in the "X" of the XBox logo…

Damn I hate these link-bait headlines... "Observe the birth of the universe" is a lot different than "earliest days of the Universe." It's like saying, you can see your new child when he's in a crib at home, just a few days old, or you can have a camera right there watching him emerge from the womb... Both are…

What's an arcade machine's single purpose in life? To get people interested enough to want to play games and to keep them playing, quarter after quarter. This machine fails in that because:

Sorry, but Howard C is right.

The unbiased facts are that it's an Android phone with controllers and no screen. I've seen articles/people questioning whether or not they can follow-through with the marketplace shell and actually line up production resources, but really, there's not much to it... just get yourself an Android TV Box (MK802 or…

Yes, "test" and "understand" (or "expand our knowledge, as I originally put it) are true, as you state. But "reveal the origin of life?" Hardly. That's hyperbole, plain and simple. And like many of Mr. Diaz's headlines, mostly designed to get click-throughs (though I suppose a site of this type can hardly be blamed…

I could tell from the overly dramatic (and factually inaccurate) headline that this was a Jesus Diaz article {sigh}. Anyway, going to Mars will not reveal the origin of life any more than going to the moon did. Sure, it'll expand our knowledge in general, and I'm all for going there personally, but let's not use…

I honestly don't get all the hate here... people make planes, and people make mistakes. Not being able to find the mistake right away doesn't mean the entirety of the US military or its subcontractors is incompetent—it just means they couldn't figure out the problem right away (I'd argue none of us keyboard monkeys…
