A good way to start any day is a with a good video of a copy-cat
hardware product. Fortunately, just such a video has been making the rounds. A wonderfully cheeky fellow,
with a perfectly positioned accent, created a video review of the
"Popstation Portable" - a low tech piece of copy-crap game hardware that most likely won't be confused for a real
PSP anytime soon. Reminds me of the portable football game I played while growing up, in which the players were
simply vertical "-" marks among which I could somehow distinguish the flashing "-" with the ball. Amazing what we
used to call a video game.

Spooky, I kept thinking about the football game with the vertical dashes while I was doing the review. The difference is the football game was the coolest thing in my school in 1984 - whereas the POPStation is not cool. At all. Anywhere. Ever.
