    seriously? Why wouldn't you simply get a cheap electronic keyboard for like $20 with a full set of keys? This is the equivalent of walking around with your laptop and its dock. It's supposed to be a handheld console, so wtf is with making it larger?

    All I'm really trying to say kiddies, is that if you want to try and pick up chicks by pretending to be a musician, try something remotely believable. After walking around with your guitar hero controller strapped to your back didn't work, you think pretending to be a half-ass Billy Joel is gonna work? At least you'll have lots of alone time to practice...

    @wolfsingleton: As a keyboardist/amateur producer, sometimes it's nice to have a single octave minikeyboard lying around to plunk out an idea as it comes to you. No one's pretending to perform a concerto on their DS, mate.

    I never, NEVER want to see a bear (especially a cutesy Japanese bear) on a computer again. Just like the stuffed beaver PC. For shame, Dan, for shame.

    Is this a North or South Korean game because there's probably a big difference. I'm guessing in the North Korean game these are rectangular medium-well pieces of dog meat and monkey penis.

    @Purple Monkey Dishwasher: Just remember, NOTHING comes in or out of North Korea. Korean culture is basically S. Korean culture.


    And in N. Korea, this would be more like sticks and grass. Their food situation is so dire that their gov't distributed official information on edible grasses and barks that can be used to stretch meals.

    @ludwigk: i tell people that all the time, shit in the north stays in the north.


    as a Korean-American (hell, I was born here, so I'm technically just "American"), I have been asked countless times "is your family from North or South Korea?"


    If we were from the North, we'd either be eating bark off trees right now or hiding in China. I don't ask someone from North Carolina if they are different from the people in South Carolina. Or North/South Dakota. Or Northern/Southern Cali. Well, Northern vs Southern Cali might be a stretch to call them the same... :-P jk

    @pekosROB and M. Timothy Mounce: Okay, but to give them some credit - the "where is your family from" question can mean lots of things. For example, my family is "from" Appalachia, Wales, The Netherlands, although nobody has lived in any of those places in a few generations.


    I know plenty of Korean Americans that have family stuck in North Korea. Not their parents of course, but grandparents, aunts, uncles, sure. And there are slight variations in culture and cuisine that come from those roots. And the current crisis impacts them (usually via their parents) slightly differently.


    And even more South Koreans struggle with the same problem. Hell Hyundai's founder and the company have a long history of family ties and economic investment in North Korea.


    So sure, the newest cell phone technology isn't going to come from North Korea (or any technology...of any kind), but to act like the links between North Korea and the South or the diaspora are long broken just isn't accurate.

    If it's two things that these comments show, it's


    1)People love reading Gizmodo in the early AM, and
    2)People love Alton Brown's "Good Eats" as much as I do.


    Anyway, I agree about Alton's distaste of all things uni-tasking, but I'd put money down that he'd be able to use one of these to kick the pants off any challenger in Kitchen Statdium. "let the battle BEGIN!"
