I purchase physical CDs from Amazon, rip them, and then upload them to Google Music. Then I have DRM-free MP3s, and a physical copy as well.

That's assuming everyone I know has identical taste. I'm exposed to far more music via people posting YouTube clips that I ever would through listening to a format radio station with a 40 song playlist.
My favorite are high-end digital cables. I get that you want a high quality analog cable (to an extent) but spending a fortune for digital cables is just plain stupid.
I don't listen to the radio. My friends post YouTube suggestions of artists they like. I check them out, and if I like them, I buy their music.
Music sales are up in the digital age and some point don't seem to understand that.
You can buy a TV that uses the passive glasses from your theater, but it looks much worse.
I think you are confused. Passive glasses like the theater look terrible and only work from certain angle. Active glasses on a 240hz screen look crisp and awesome and work from any angle.
This. It amazes me how many people have made their judgment from passive glasses or movies with terrible post-production 3D an then given up. If you have active (shutter) glasses and you're watching content that was shot in 3D, it is simply amazing.
Watching college football on ESPN 3D was simply amazing. And subtle 3D like in Tron Legacy works really well to give depth.

We have record profits but want more money. This is a crucial issue that Congress needs to tackle, because record profits aren't enough. To that end, we think that we should have the right to seize personal property without due process. And even though we're currently abusing the DCMA (filing mass take-downs for content they don't own or review), we feel we need more power and promise not to abuse it for censorship.
Why wouldn't people support that?
The RIAA holds artists back from making more money by fighting the adoption of digital music. As content becomes more convenient to digest, people will consume more of it. Stop fighting consumers and embrace them. That is the way to combat piracy. Just look at iTunes, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime streaming, HBO Go, Spotify, etc. etc.
I don't anticipate buying the Wii U and hate the single tablet controller. I think it is a stupid decision. But they have a lot of third party developers confirmed to be making Wii U games well before the hardware is ready to launch.
And this won't be two Wii's. The hardware is considerably faster.
What about multiplayer in games? The Wii doesn't multitask. It can't have the app running while also playing Mario Kart to translate the new user accounts and connectivity to existing Wii games.
