For the last 1/2 year Nintendo has been intent on following Apple's style, gravitating toward a shiny white revolution as their official display model and unveiling the ipod-esque Nintendo DS Lite. Now they seem to be copying Apple's new naming strategy, which is simply: Take a popular product with a sexy name and make it as strange as possible. I think Nintendo has set a new standard with the Wii.
I have a hard time comparing a movie download to a DVD....how about comparing it to the UMDs of the PSP instead? This, of course, is because they still charge a premium price for the movie and skip out on the presentation completely. Downloadable movies would have no interactive menus, deleted scenes, interviews, etc - just like UMD movies. I just love Sony's marketing schemes...
If I am not mistaken, and I am assuredly not, the first universities in the US were created out of religious concern (e.g. Puritans wanted their children to be able to read the Bible, psalters, etc). It seems very ironic that those who founded the most elite of US educational institutions are now trying to tear it all apart. Then again, no one ever said that religion had to make sense anyways. It will be interesting to see what happens when Kansas students try to get into non-religious affiliated universities later on. Then again, if their educational system works then those students would not want to go to a silly secular school anyways, right?

Microsoft doesn't want to lose its most talented developers. Seriously, just compare the mac office to the windows office....its night and day.
