Something I'm not really finding an answer to in all the impressions I'm reading is why wasn't the functionality of the Wii U not done with a Wii/DS combination?

The music brought back a flood of memories for an old GameCube tech demo, "Rebirth". I remember replaying this video over and over again when I first saw it, and I'm still holding out for them to make it a full game. Get on it Nintendo!

Actually I'm getting more of a "Rebirth" vibe. It was an awesome GameCube tech demo that I'm still hoping and praying gets made into a full game.

"But the thing about this project that makes me most happy is the passion, joy and satisfaction I felt while working on it with two guys who I like building stuff with. And over the long haul, those feelings far outweigh any collection of numbers amassed on a stats page."

@Hello Mister Walrus: Was that movie any better in French? I'm thinking no.

@stevenjcarney: Haha, same here!

So, basically, we'll use our Social Security number to shop online and check our email? Nope, nothing wrong with that at all...

I enjoyed it, but I couldn't help but think this is what it'd sound like if they played the Zelda theme on the Weather Channel.

@Krizstof: Bah, sorry, double post

@Krizstof: Personally, I find this one fits a little better.

Dude, I so want that camera on skis. That thing was flying! Would be fun to take off some sweet jumps :)

@no computers in texas: Something better is always "just around the corner". If it's not Tegra 2, its dual-core Snapdragons, or a new screen tech. It always something, it's (almost) always better.

What I'd like to know is if this holds true for the paid versions of the apps (e.g. Pandora One, etc.)

For those looking for a PS3, Amazon currently has the 160GB model for $298 w/ $100 credit.

Does anyone own that MadCatz Xbox adapter? I've been using an old laptop as a makeshift adapter currently, but would be willing to drop $25 on something less cumbersome if it works well enough. Also, does it support WPA/2 encryption? Thanks in advance.

@Edix: While I agree that this is not terrorism by any means, I don't really think this can be called a simple protest either. In my mind, a digital protest would be more akin to launching a website in support for the cause or posting numerous posts on Twitter/Facebook/etc. expressing a boycott of services and…

On one hand, I'm thinking this is a sign of just how badly Hollywood has degraded over the years. They've been resurrecting dead franchises for their 'ideas', and apparently now looking towards dead actors for talent. Not a good sign.

What's the goofy hat in #11? I can't tell if its supposed to be functional or just part of a ridiculous "fashion of the future" prediction.
