Finally, I can stop wearing out my old ToeJam & Earl cartridge!
Seriously, I've not seen much success in getting the console and the hip-hop to play well together. Most recently, most people seem to agree that Get On Da Mic, a Karaoke Revolution for rap songs, generally failed to be playable.
For those who think that the Dune books provided diminishing returns, there's at least one other geek-friendly choice for your viewing pleasure tonight. Game Show Network is airing "Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal", also at 9 ET. It's the story of Michael Larson, an out of work ice cream truck driver from Ohio, who managed to beat the system on a network game show. He realized that the "random" prize board actually followed a few basic patterns, including two spaces which would continually give him more spins on the board. He then memorized the patterns, got onto the show, and set the earnings record for TV gameshows before Millionare came on. It's a fun story. GSN is airing a documentary about his plan and both episodes of his original appearance tonight.
The ACLU even have a simple way to send your congressmen a fax about it.
Of course, given the topic, you can simply fax it to any foreign number and it will reach your congressmen, every other congressperson, the NSA, CIA, FBI...
This has been a test of the Underutilized Character System. If this had been an actual emergency, you would have seen a big rectagle in place of the Euro sign.

It's designed for the "Thumb Generation", the Japanese who have taken to 3G wireless technologies with abandon. Because they use cell phones for messaging, they're developing amazingly adroit thumbing skills. The suggested thumb use for this Vaio is demonstrated here.

Samus is a CHICK??!
Dangit Editors, thanks for ruining another game ending for me.

Ah, I knew those aerodynamic hockey puck Mac mice would come in handy for something someday...
