This is the dumbest series of articles I have ever seen engadget write. At least tell us what is supposed to make these
"crap-gadgets" unique. You guys just don't want to do any work!
It is bad enough your sight is a nightmare to surf, you can't find a damn thing.
I don't know how you stay in business.
I think I am done with you. I am taking you off my google home page.

How cool! This is kind of how Richard Feynman got started. Don't knock it because this kid might be having fun and could end up telling us much about our world.
As for "you sacrifice in other areas", what a crock! That is not necessarily true, and if it is the case here, what areas are you talking about? He won't play football? Like the comment by m16, he should discover girls and beer? Uh huh, because alcoholic divorcees are happy, adjusted people.
I was/am above average, not a genius but excelled in school. I played soccer, basketball, football and dated more than most. I was/am very happy, and have lots of fun to this day...continue to learn new things and play soccer.
I also agree with suv4x4, in the movies and TV, scientists and people who have intellectual pursuits are portrayed as either evil, nutty, or both, but always generally unhappy. Rarely are they happy and well adjusted images of a person. This view is myopic and dead wrong. They are real people enjoying life and have added so much to society, what do the artists add? More lawsuits by the RIAA? Those that enjoy intellectual endevours just enjoy something different than the hollywood actor types do. To continually show these images of intelligent people demonstrates a jealous and bitter sort. How about this? All of the "artists" I see out there are screwed up, unhappy, druggies that add nothing to society.

That makes no sense. They won't make the cards at all because of the low margins...price fixing usually raises the margins beyond reason.
These chips now cost a few bucks to churn out.
I agree with the supply and demand guy. Prices come down when you won't pay the high price.

Don't be a sap and believe everything you are told.
