What's happening with WII

What's going on with the game Wii? When the game first arrived on the market people where excited. Some expected it to take over the video game world. But according to a recent report Wii has not done as well as it anticipated.

Nintendo is still rocking all over the world, with Xbox 360 trailing behind. What's going on? "When the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl hit the shelf it sold more than 1.4 million copies during the first week of its release." It broke the records for Nintendo. What happened to sales? Sales started dropping across the board. Many people were told if the game was damage when they got it home, they couldn't return it. The customers were satisfied with just buying something they knew would work.

Many consumers think that sales are low because people are not familiar with that type of game. They are use to the PlayStation's and Xbox's. Wii has to find a way to get the public interested in the game. They have to come up with a stronger strategy than its opponents.

What is your favorite game?

Verizon

Many wireless companies have exploded the world of unlimited browsing on many of their plans. A phone just isn't a phone if you can't browse the internet while riding in a car or sitting in the waiting room at a doctor's office.

Verizon has finally made that step. Verizon is offering a $30 monthly unlimited plan for their smartphones. "The New E-mail and Web for smartphone is $30 a month when paired with a qualifying voice plan and is available with the SMT5800, XV6800, and the MOTO Q9m."

If you don't have a cell phone with access to the web, visit Verizon at www.verizon.com.

Facebook vs. ConnectU

In 2003, ConnectU was accusing Mark Zuckerberg and the original crew of pilfering their ideas. Of course you know Facebook had a countersuit.

"The ConnectU founders asserted they hired Mark, to help them create a campus-wide dating site called, "Harvard Connection." He didn't react to their idea at first. While he was thinking about their idea he was creating his own idea, "The Facebook.com." Both parties were ordered into mediation last year. "All motions in the ConnectU case have been terminated."
