Re: The Wii Is a Plastic Box of Death
By Lore Sjberg
From: Pepe
Wonderful :-) Thank you for the refreshing piece. I wonder who will fall over dead first:
a) some readers
b) the publisher (noticing that too many people don't get it)
c) enlightened gamers, overdoing it and having a heart attack or
d) the public, complaining about rising insurance costs for household items
Either way, all is good, as I am a vampire.

Re: Netvibes Spices Up Personal News
By Michael Calore
From: Steve Zahn
Netvibe sure started something and adding to it, another company that caught my eye online a few days ago was LineTeVe. This company actually does something that big media comapanies are currently biting on – produce and broadcast catchy half-hour series shows online. I have to say, your article on Netvibe is great, but you'd be busy writing tech stories/blogs when companies like these finally hit the mainstream. Good article Michael, I enjoy your blogs.

Re: What We Don't Know: Why Do We Still Have Big Questions?
By Kevin Kelly
From: TL Lull
On page 124 in your Feb. '07 issue of Wired, your guest writer, Kevin Kelly, wrote the following: "... and in engineered materials like photovoltaic cells and carbon nanotubes."
Photovoltaic cells are indeed engineered, but carbon nanotubes definitely are not engineered.
Had Mr. Kelly simply gone to any search engine and entered "nanotubes," or "buckyballs" and pressed the search button he would have come upon any number of websites that could have explained that nanotubes, like buckyballs, were found in the flame of a candle and are therefore the product of nature. They still are and will no doubt always be from nature.
Mankind may indeed alter, or manipulate them, and even if they are mined inside of some fancy man-made device that uses some exotic kind of fire and fuel to make them, that will still not change the fact that they are a resource to be mined. How we treat them after that is when we engineer them. We still mine iron ore to make steel after all.

Re: Fake Holograms a 3-D Crime Wave
By Marty Graham
From: Ivan Leo Puoti
You failed to mention what is probably the most profitable use of fake holograms, that is on counterfeit euro banknotes. When the euro was introduced in 12 European countries in the European Union, holograms were advertised as a virtually impossible-to-fake security measure
