    Virtual Boy-Playing, Zune-Toting Alternate History is Kind of Plausible, Hilarious

    Anyone who has ever piloted a Segway or watched a Betamax knows that the tech world isn't always a meritocracy. Good products can be trampled by inferior ones, and unpredictable consumers can make frustrating choices (Blu-ray, anyone?).
