The Game Informer survey included this info. From my copy of the magazine: "Perhaps the Wii has suffered fewer hardware failures among our readers due to the fact that it isn't played as often. The majority of Wii owners (41.4%) said they play their Wii less than an hour a day on average, as compared with the Xbox 360 (three to five hours: 40.3%) and PS3 owners (three to five hours: 37%)." A little bit of suspect reasoning there -- 41.4% isn't a majority (I guess they meant plurality) and their "less play time = less failure" theory doesn't hold much water given the PS3 play time being similar to 360 with a much lower failure rate. Still, those are the numbers they provided.

One Broken Router Takes Out Half the Internet? 412

Silent Stephus writes "I work for a smallish hosting provider, and this morning we experienced a networking event with one of our upstreams. What is interesting about this, is it's being caused by a mis-configured router in Europe — and it appears to be affecting a significant portion of the transit providers across the Internet. In other words, a single mis-configured router is apparently able to cause a DOS for a huge chunk of the Net. And people don't believe me when I tell them all this new-fangled technology is held together by duct-tape and baling wire!"
