of kids want an iPad
The Nielsen Company presented a cadre of individuals with a list of nice, shiny gadgets and let them cross off anything and everything they'd like to buy in the next six months, and 31 percent of kids 6-12 picked the iPad as one of them.

Great- on the weekend of one of the most influential performers of all time dying we can't even log in to listen to his music.
If you think Michael Jackson is one of the most influential performers, you shouldn't be allowed to listen to music at all.
really Wormbolt? really? i was never a huge fan of the guy but im not so ignorant as to say he wasn't an influential performer. if he wasn't who is/was? HE DID THE FREAKING MOON WALK!
@kojo87
Name a substantial musician he influenced.
He didn't create the moonwalk, he stole it from street kids.
@Wormbolt
Seriously man, stop before you dig the hole any deeper. Whether you like him or not, he had a HUGE influence in music, specifically in Hip Hop and R&B. Maybe you're too young to like what he did in the 70s and 80s, but don't be the guy too stupid to recognize his contribution.
@sweet greggo
Feel free to name his musical pupils.
@Wormbolt
I don't listen to much R&B and Hip Hop so i don't know the names, but if you polled every artist in those groups that is under the age of 40 they would most likely list him as one their biggest influences. You want names? Check the charts.
@sweet greggo
So you're saying, as far as you know, he has none.
Wormbolt, dude. You're too ignorant to be on our site. Banned.
Wait wait wait.
Nilay, you ban someone for having a different opinion to yours, and voicing it.
Yet Jubei, Paul a. Chapel, Quix, Zak, and about a dozen other trolls are allowed to run rampant, expressing their opinions in the most annoying fashion. But I suppose that you agree with what they say, so the go unbanned, despite a more-or-less unified desire among the commenters and readers of this website to get rid of them.
Am I the only one here noticing some double standards at work?
@Wormbolt
R.I.P.
@CJ
Welcome to engadget! You're not considered a veteran until you've been banned at least once. I myself have been banned twice, once by the infamous Nilay. It's an honor I hold in high regard.
@CJ- I daresay we could add Erik to that list. He is certainly proving his merit quickly.
@DeoWulf, not sure how long you have been around here, but about this time last year somebody going by the name "Super Sexy Erik" wrote similarly to this Erik, was about the same age, etc. He eventually was banned because he was making posts about his underage girlfriend that were, let's say, illegial.
I would not be surprised if it was the same person.
