The prices and the speeds could be better, but IMHO the real problem is the incredibly small monthly caps that we have up north.
A monthly cap of 50GB is just proof that the companies are trying to use their ISP side to protect their media broadcasting side. Bell Internet is protecting Bell ExpressVu, the CRTC should not be blind to the conflict of interest in all this.
The monthly cap should start around 100GB even for the slowest speeds and go up from there. My 2Mbps connection has a 35GB monthly cap with fees of around $5 per extra GB, which is insane when you consider the cost to Bell.
Butthurt Xbox360 and PS3 owners spreading FUD about the new Nintendo system now that they have to comment about how gameplay is more important than graphics, or dumbass writers who will say anything to have people read their articles?
Do we even know the specifications of the Wii U's GPU to make such comparisons?
I don't get this obsession with the start button. Mac OS X doesn't have a start button, Linux doesn't have a start button, the Atari ST didn't have one nor did the Amiga.
Are you so afraid of change that you're willing to stick with an older OS just because of the start button? That thing that says "Start" that you must click on to *shut down* the computer?
To synergise the energy of the elastic cloud computing environment synergistically with the development platform interface specification to meet the required compliancy of Cobit while maintaining share profit managability. His strong manly hands probed every crevice of her silken femininity, their undulating bodies writhing in sensual rhythm, as he thrust his purple-headed warrior into her quivering mound of love pudding.
I think what he's saying is that if there was a rubber band effect, it would confirm that the device accepted his scrolling command but also show him that it's not supposed to scroll.
* Includes up to 50 MB of data per month. 15 per additional MB.
Frankly, apart from email, I don't see how useful 50MB can be. Forget websites, YouTube or Netflix, even 500MB wouldn't be enough for that. But 50MB is a sick joke if you ask me.

I've read some comments that say the Wii U is "as powerful as an Xbox360/PS3", however I've also read articles that mentioned the Wii U is two generations ahead of the other two consoles... so, which one is it?

Xbox 360 sucks because they don't support keyboard and mouse for the games.
I wish they'd go a step further and offer a stripped down, lower-cost, gaming-only OS.
But I still think my digital watch is pretty neat. I'm off to go buy new shoes now.

For a lot of people, there won't be any green grass on the other side because the learning curve is too steep and they'll switch to Mac.
Or even just an iPad. If all you do is email, instant messaging and Facebook, why the hell would you need a full-fledged OS anyway?
You forgot about the Microsoft, OSS, Raspberry Pi and Arduino fanboys.

You haven't seen my beige tower. My tiger once got completely nuts and completely scratched it.

Well, that would be the Emergency Command Hologram, of course!
Anyone who disagrees will be disintegrated by the photonic canon!
I always knew that cloud hosting companies were screwing us.

And after centuries of devastating battles, both went extinct. However, amidst the ashes, some of the little AVR cores survived and replaced both. ...

CGA was only 4 colors (two ugly and fixed palettes) and EGA was 16 colors (out of a palette of 64 in later cards).
So, the complete opposite of Microsoft?
Yeah but you were making it up on volume!
It could be the noise floor going up near your house, or just planned obsolescence.
Probably including the hot wire cutting machine too, if you shop around the used motors and controllers.
