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.

My brother dug out his old SNES at Christmas. We played for five minutes, and had to stop because we were both getting severe headaches. The graphics on these old games was so appalling. Is it really worth going back and reliving that?

I'm guessing you didn't get headaches from it before, so you might want to go to a doctor. That or stop playing SNES games on a 52in TV from 4ft away using composite cables.

Wouldn't have those per pixel shaders if it wasn't for the original pixels.

Jesus, the *SNES* gives you headaches with its bad graphics?
Some of us have been gaming since the Atari 2600. And I can still play those games. SNES games look great to me. That was near the end of the 2D era, so it doesn't get a whole lot better, unless you look at the few 2D games for the Saturn and Dreamcast (for some reason Sega's 3D consoles always had more 2D games than their competitors - probably because of the extra VRAM they had).
The Dreamcast's 2D games are probably as good as it gets, but the SNES was no slouch when it came to certain types of games, especially RPG's.

I once watch my cousin play the original PlayStation and mistaken it for a cheap SNES game due to it's quality. Right now I have Virtual Bart in my SNES, that game looks great after all these years.
After seeing some of the late game on the SNES, I felt that system never reach it's peak. Donkey Kong Country had gotten it's graphics without using the FX chip.
@MikeUK Funny, I also played with some real old consoles (Sega megadrive 2, snes, nes, philips G7000) and I had more fun with playing those games than I have playing my current PS3 games...
No headache here...
