Where Does a Netbook End and a Laptop Begin?

This is a personal pet peeve of mine. When netbooks were first created, they were designed as cheap, (relatively) rugged laptops that would come loaded with a light OS to get around their low-power hardware. But the price and specifications on them go up in the name of Microsoft, who decrees that their OS be on top at all costs.

Anyway, the first netbooks to come out were around $100, with bare-bones specs. Now they keep inching to where ultra-portable laptops are, and one wonders what the point in calling them netbooks is.

Even the Wii is Getting in on High-Definition Now!

Perhaps they’ve finally realized that hi-def is the way video games are going, but Nintendo is rumoured to be including a Blu-ray player in the next iteration of the massively popular Wii system. One of the primary negative points of the first Wii was that it didn’t include any kind of high definition support. This lack of support also seriously impacted many people’s views of it as a potential “serious gaming console.”

I find it somewhat hard to believe that Sony would let another company use their Blu-Ray technology on another gaming console, seeing as how Blu-Ray is one of the main selling points of the PS3. But perhaps they feel that the money they will make on each Wii carrying the Blu-Ray player will outweigh the potential loss of money on PS3s sold.
