POPSMario Beats Candyland No one with any sense could argue that kids should play video games all day, every day. But parents and critics of the medium need to accept that games can be both exciting and intellectually challenging. Your kid will benefit from working out a video game puzzle or constructing an elaborate strategies to beat level bosses. That's not the case with Chutes and Ladders.

POPSMicrosoft: No New Xbox Anytime Soon One of the things that make boxes like the Xbox and PS3 more useful is that they're connected to the internet, and can download new software updates that radically change the feel of the machine.

POPSISPs Neglect Infrastructure: Think of Capping Downloads Articles, like this one, do not take into consideration the growing trend of multiple internet ports per home. For example, a home could have a parent on one computer downloading news videos, a child on another computer downloading Netflix or MP3s, and a third child could be on a PS3/Xbox playing online. This type of house could easily surpass the monthly limits. Additionally, bandwidth needs typically doubles every year, so one house may only need 10 GB per month now. However, next year they will likely need 20GB per month. How are placing caps going to provide ISPs with incentive to increase their infrastructure? It will not!

Citroen would earn itself a virtually unlimited amount of kudos if it went ahead and made it for real for real. We might even forgive it for the Citroen Ami.
