@Andrew: Well, at least it doesn’t run Silverlight either (hint: search my photostream for ‘silverlight’!).

@Andrew: I understand (and somewhat share) that perspective. It’s definitely not a traditional gaming machine; I ended up going with a PS3 for personal use, while the Wii works great as a resource for my job working with teens (and their parents).

To re-rail things, I’m pretty impressed with the studs-up design on both the front AND back with such a thin margin to work with. I didn’t appreciate that until just now. “Impressive. Most impressive.”

iPad doesn’t support Flash on purpose, and a year from now nobody will care. http://scobleizer.com/2010/01/30/can-flash-be-saved

^ Not a problem at all. My snark deserves hijacking. The Wii may top sales charts, but it’s still a flop as a gaming platform. My evaluation was entirely subjective, though based on years of experience as a frustrated owner. I’m just glad I finally bought an Xbox! :-D

Will “absorbent” become the new “indeed”? Only time will tell…

I’d like to politely point out (hopefully without hijacking the post) that Wii sales still top the charts in both systems and games. ;)

In other news, I second (or third?) the motion for more absorbent posts.

^I concur. You should try to work in “adorable” along with “absorbent”.

I think more posts on TBB should have absorbent in the title…

I like your usage of “absorbent” in the title ;)
