Upcoming PSN Premium services leaked in survey?

A survey is probably the most untrusted source of leaked info, easy to fake --but this one sounds pretty legit and has popped up elsewhere.

This fifth grader can type faster than you, or anyone else

When it comes down to it, most of us cant type without glancing at the keyboard, or backspacing every other letter. This Fifth grade kid is not only better than us, but she can type 119 words per minute. That's two words every second. Personally, i would like to maybe make less mistakes, or stop glancing at the keyboard. Mackenzie won't rest until she reaches a 200 WPM pace.

Top 8 Tech Flops of the Decade

Phones that try to do a little bit too much, Sony launches two new media formats - only one survives, and gadgets that just don't live up to their hype; the beginning of the new millennium sure brought about some great ideas, but only a few turned out to be other than mediocre flops. Sometimes it doesn't have much to do that a product didn't work or that it wasn't efficient at what it was meant to do; sometimes it's just a matter of being at the right place at the right time.

So check out TechRader's quick look at the top 8 biggest losers of 2000-09. I wonder who'll get the coveted #1 place spot - it may be worth something one day if you were suckered into buying one.

DS Review: The Legend of Zelda: Spirits Tracks

Admit it, the first time you saw Link wearing that conductor outfit and driving a train you thought what has Nintendo come up with now? I'll be the first to say I was one of those people. But after completing the game I feel like slapping my past self for doubting the potential of such an idea for just a second. Take the jump if you're interested in why I think Spirit Tracks ranks as one of the best Zelda games in the entire franchise's history. Yes, one of the BEST ever.
