$150 > $23.98
What this article doesn't address, and the question that Intel hasn't answered yet, is why I should spend $150 on a low powered PC that hooks up to my TV when I can buy a twenty-five foot HDMI cable and a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter for a total of $23.98 and hook up the Mac Mini I use as a media PC to my TV, using my bigger at home TV as a second monitor. Why should I spend 625% more than is necessary to buy something superfluous that only makes me look like a more bigger nerd than I already am?
Really AP?
The Associated Press is a venerated news source that is known for it's great reporting of national and international news stories and events. The Associated Press doesn't have star reporters, AP is the star, the brand, the name that people can drop so that people know that what is reported is legit. However, sometimes the Associated Press can report things in a way that is, for lack of a better term, wrong.
Amazon could be ESPN of video games in Twitch deal
This headline reflects a lack of understanding of Amazon, Twitch, and ESPN. The body of the story only affirms that misunderstanding.

Golf Video Game Options
With the announcement of the scrapping of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 15, avid golf video game players are looking for another way to continue playing one of their favorite games. While The Golf Club looks like an intriguing option, the lack of a set date for the release of this title may make consumers looks elsewhere.
What about Mario Golf: World Tour? Yes it's a Mario game with kiddie graphics, but, based on this hands-on preview, the gameplay appears to be solid. Also, appearing to be less than serious never stopped Hot Shots Golf from being great. Add in that Mario Golf: World Tour has a May 2nd release date, and this title seems like a great option. Now, let's look at the price.
$30? Thirty bucks for a 3DS title plus the already announced Season Pass for fifteen? That may not sound like a lot for a video game, but considering that Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 is still on sale on Amazon for twenty bucks, I think I'd rather choose last year's model. It's not like I'm missing out on anything, all the same courses are there, the gameplay is still solid, and the roster of golfers included is still relatively current. In fact, why do I need to buy a new golf video game this year when I can still play the game I was playing last year? I think that's the option I'm going with. Besides, I'm still pursuing Project Buy A House. Any reduction in expenses will help me achieve that goal.
