Ralph Baer On Atari/Pong Lawsuit, Birth Of Gaming

Roosevelt Franklin writes "GamerDad.com put up a great interview with videogaming pioneer Ralph Baer today. He talks about the birth of the game industry, the Brown Box (Magnavox Odyssey), the Atari/Pong lawsuit, his patents, and a parent's responsibility. Baer is the original Game God and GamerDad calls him the Original GamerDad too!" Baer says of Pong and patent infringement: "After ten years of litigation in courts from Chicago to San Francisco we collected many tens of millions of dollars."

your sig, linking to a whacko site about a society that campaigns to "reverse circumcissions" is hysterical! I like the following idea that to restore one's foreskin, they should "tug on the shaft every night!"

So... if what this bullshit site is saying is true... shouldn't every 14 year-old boy have a fully restored foreskin (and then some)?
