Regarding the "large and risky investment": I think that was the part that the whole "meant-to-imply-an-in-drawn-breath dept" was referring to.
Where did it say he bought all games available? As far as I can remember, he said he only bought 3 games: King Kong, Call of Duty 2, and Kameo. As well as a few of the Marketplace games.

Since when do people in the real world have to abide by some rules created by a dead author for use in his science FICTION books?

And you can read a newspaper / magazine at anytime too!
You switched to a service that will archive all e-mails?

Excuse me while I buy stock in Dell.
I don't find blogs interesting either. So I am with you in that camp.
However, a lot of people do like blogs, and find them interesting. I'm sure some of those would love the idea of video blogs (vlogs?).

I'm pretty sure that flew out the window the second they entered talks with AOL :)
