    I need arrow keys because I'm left handed and I use them instead of WASD when gaming.

    Google Search channels Yahoo.com, tests news and weather on the homepage

    iGoogle was the best. I miss it. I use start.me now. It's the closest thing I could find to it.

    Latest Nintendo Direct event led by Zelda: Skyward Sword HD remaster

    The Mario anniversary stuff was announced a couple weeks before the Mario Anniversary. Zelda's Anniversary is this week. Not sure why you wouldn't have the games ready for the Anniversary. I saw someone mention that the Mario Anniversary goes until the end of March, so maybe they're waiting...

    $199 Analogue Pocket promises FPGA accuracy for portable retro gaming

    Very pretty device, but like the Gameboy, that looks way too small and uncomfortable for my adult hands. Had they gone for a more ergonomic design I may be interested.

    You'd have to actually be able to find an Amiibo in the store to pirate it. The stores near me are out of stock of nearly every Amiibo they carry.

    On average, Americans get 189 cable TV channels and only watch 17

    It's not 100% up to the carriers (DirecTV, AT&T and Comcast), it's the channels themselves that need to allow a la carte.

    On average, Americans get 189 cable TV channels and only watch 17

    Even though we don't have a la carte channels right now, you can pretty much do a la cart programs.

    On average, Americans get 189 cable TV channels and only watch 17

    If they ever allow a la carte pricing, you'd be lucky to get 5 channels for $30. ESPN alone would probably be $10 by itself.

    You get the dongle you pay for in Google’s Chromecast
