Seattle Times exposes the Xboy: it games, it has WiFi, it kills iPods, etc.

Video Games – If Brian Dudley of the Seattle Times is to be believed (he seems like a nice enough fellow), Microsoft is not only poised to release an Xboy this Christmas, but will have it interacting with Xgirl, Xuncle and Xred-headedstep-child, the latter of which will probably prove a formidable challenge to market.

Games make kids fat, nympho chain-smoking alcoholics

Video Games – An article I did in April that still holds true. It analyzes sensationalist conclusions drawn from studies -- this one, in particular, compared video games to smoking. So it goes.
