So Lee Kunhee, the Samsung emperor, is back on his throne now that his legal troubles have magically vanished. If this is followed by a drop in Samsung's stock, can we call it a Post-Pardon Depression™?

I presume the "Using only indigenous technology, North Korea proudly announces invention of Atari 5200" is a tablet, or at least a laptop...
ReplyDeleteI think it would be the entire console you see there. The North Koreans don't yet have the miniaturization technology possessed by American game makers back in the mid-1980s.
ReplyDeleteThat's insulting to Atari...
ReplyDeleteHow about Intellivision or Magnavox Odyssey?.. ;)
Hey, I had an Atari 5200 when I was little, and those joysticks... when I saw this picture it just reminded me of that. And if KJI really were to try to reverse engineer an Atari 5200, I think that's what his Frankentari monster would look like.
