I am a terrible fisherman and have not ever caught a fish, but I love talking to people and learning about what they do and how...

Remember when it was cool to joke about how the vibrating Wii remote looked, felt and behaved pretty much like a vibrator? No? Well, too bad, because it turns out that the two were more similar than the light-hearted humor suggested. In fact, both tools of pleasure employ technology built from a patent from the same company, Immersion. Sure, Immersion uses an alter ego, "Internet Services, LLC,"...

Allez France! (Bryan Appleyard)

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:25:00 GMT
