Laslo: I figure you've increased the power output to six megawatts?
Chris: Yeah, about that.
Laslo: Well what would you use that for?
Ick: Making Swiss cheese?
Mitch: The applications are unlimited.
Laslo: No. With the fuel you've come up with the beam would last for what...15 seconds. Well what good is that?
Chris: Oh Laslo. That doesn't matter. I respect you but I graduated.
Mitch: Yeah, let the engineers figure out a use for it. That's not our concern.
Laslo: Maybe somebody already has a use for it. One for which it is specifically designed.
Jordan: You mean Dr. Hathaway had something in mind all along?
Laslo: Look at the facts! Very high powered, portable, limited firing power, unlimited range. (Chris stops smiling.) All's you'd need is a tracking system, and a large spinning mirror and you could vaporize a human target from space.

Submission + - Why Wii Already Won

worb writes: theWiikly.com has written an interesting article on the so-called "console war", and how Nintendo has already won. The author makes many interesting points, such as: "They became market leaders not because they 'destroyed' competitors but because their focus was on growth." Other factors include momentum, focus on people rather than technology (convenience over power), differentiation, and so on. The author makes a compelling case, with several claims followed by explanations and examples.
