Why is it that the best tech coverage is from The Onion? Consider the following five reports:

Google Opt-out Policy (http://www.theonion.com/content/video/google_opt_out_feature_lets_users)

Apple laptop news (http://www.theonion.com/content/video/apple_introduces_revolutionary)

FPS videogame news (http://www.theonion.com/content/video/hot_new_video_game_consistshttp://www.theonion.com/content/video/hot_new_video_game_consists)

Are videogames adequately preparing our children for the post-apocalyptic future? (http://www.theonion.com/content/video/are_violent_video_games)

And last but not least, a report on a Sony product that is so laden with profanity that it's NSFW, not safe for grandma, not safe for your parents and not safe for the dog:

Sony releases new stupid piece of **** that doesn't ******* work. (http://www.theonion.com/content/video/sony_releases_new_stupid_piece_of)
I'm as big a fan of Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/) and The Register (http://www.theregister.co.uk/) as anybody, so why is it that the satirists seem to nail the essence of the issues better than the straight journals? (Also, I wanted an excuse to post a bunch of funny videos.)

Brilliant tech coverage. Especially loved the Sony one. I passed it on to a technology geek friend of mine. Thanks Lemur! :laugh4:

Sony one is accurate. Especially with their Sony Vaio Foreman Grill range.
