P2P is certainly more than a 'play thing' it has enormous potential for distribution. Take Debian for example, they use p2p to distribute install CDs (http://www.debian.org/CD/torrent-cd/), the benefit is that they've effectibly reduced the load on their servers. The problem with p2p is that it's gotten a bad rap, by large un-named organizations, not the technology proper.
As many people have pointed out this is no surprise. But is it relevant? The DS is a new system, the slim PS2 is a new form factor. The real test will be against the Sony portable system. This here is just smoke and mirrors comparing system sales from different target markets. Pu-shaw.
Parents used to take an active role in their childrens lives. I know for me that my mother and father palyed with me, read to me, and involved me in adult conversation on a regular basis, as young a four years old. There was constant involvment in my life and how it would evolve. I learned morals, how to make decisions, right and wrong, and deal with the consiqueces.
Society today, IMO, has sissified our children and parents are at the root of the problem. Children don't particulary have worries. That's not nessecarily a bad thing, they're children. The problem is that parents have started pawning them off on gaming and tv and then complain, or sue, when it's not a good enough babysitter. Get involved!
Moreover, societaly we've gone to great lengths to 'protect' our children. From everything. Children don't experience things. Adversity, injury, pain, loss, disiplin, mistakes, and other such unpleasentries build character and teach us things. They teach us things that are just as important as what we get from love, victory, accomplishment, a pretty sunset, and what have you. Together these make up things that we 'need to khow' later in life. If children aren't allowed to 'learn' these lessons how are they to deal with the sittuations that require the expeirence and wisdom they would have developed.
Get back in touch with your children and if you can't do that... suck it up and accept that your child is becoming and illinformed, underdeveloped, nassy.

It's naturall that this was applied to dogs first. Dog's are man's best friend, infants just happen after nine months and then you're stuck with em.
