Ironically enough, one of the common points of failure on the Wii only happens when you don't play it. On early models of Wii (don't know if they've fixed it or not), if you left them on standby with WiiConnect24 turned on, the unit would generate heat but not cool itself. If left alone for an extended period of time (like the half year between Zelda: TP and any other worthwhile games) it would fry the graphics chip. I had that happen to my first Wii; now I run with WiiConnect24 turned off. And I still hardly ever turn the machine on.
Oh but just you wait for 2015 when Apple will bring the brand new, Apple exclusive innovation of an OLED screen for whatever name they give their iPods and phones then, like they did with copy and paste, video recording and voice control for the 3GS.
Open Office will only take over if one of two things happen: 1. Office stops being sold, for legal reasons, or when MS retires the product (unlikely), or what have you or 2. Open Office stops being a steaming pile (also unlikely)
60 frames per second = 16.7 ms per frame. With a response time of 2 ms there's still plenty of time for you to input your frame-precise hadouken and then complain about lag when you screw it up.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
