XBOX is a winner, I agree, but they sell the hardware at a loss still. We are getting close to the $100 commodized tablet computer (I've seen some Black Friday ads with notebooks at $179). For most people who use their tablets for social media, net surfing, Twitter, Netflix, and youtube, the Wifi connection is more important than the medium they are utilizing. On another note, my wife today told me (as many people have throughout the years) "you should do some writing/publishing. You should put that wit to work." I had to explain to her that wit is going for nothing these days in the marketplace, and the Huffington Post and Rolling Stone is proof of that. However, I do have a great stand-up routine I'd like to do soon locally. Maybe that should be on my bucket list. Whether it's software, computer hardware, or allegedly witty writing; the prices of many easily reproduced commodities are rapidly driving towards zero cost. Here's the last line of something I gave my wife this AM before she went out (she needed to take a lunch with her, so I made up a restaurant menu for her to order from): As always, take-home spoons are upon request available for our Bulimic patrons.
