Nintendo and Sony Suffer Losses
Looks like the bad economy is now eating into the traditionally resilient home video game industry. So far this month, both Nintendo and Sony have announced losses.Sales of Nintendo's popular Wii console dropped down 43% during the 2nd and 3rd quarter this year. In an effort to help boost holiday sales, Nintendo has reduced the cost of the Wii from $249 to $199.
Nintendo's rival, Sony, is also feeling the bite of a bad economy. Sony reported a Q2 net loss of $292 million and their overall sales are down by 20%. However, Sony feels that sales of movies and TV shows on their new PSP Go personal WiFi gaming device will help grow revenues from both content and hardware sales.

Drunk Driver Calls Cops on Herself [video]
911 operators definitely get their fair share of calls from people observing drunk drivers on the road. However, it's not very often that a drunk driver calls 911 on them self.
In the 911 call [video], a Wisconsin woman named Mary Strey, called 911 and wanted to report a drunken driver. When the 911 dispatcher asked if she was behind the suspect vehicle, she replied "I am them."
She then followed the dispatcher's advice to pull over and turn on her flashers, telling him she had been "drinking all night long."
