The questions that make their way on "Everybody Votes" totally suck!

I feel like there are better questions worth asking rather than (CAUTION: ACTUAL EXAMPLES)

You're thirsty for milk but there isn't enough left for an entire glass, what do you do?
1.) Drink Something Else
2.) Drink what's left

Which kind of water tastes better?
1.) Tap Water
2.) Bottled Water

Which would you rather dive into? A swimming pool full of Spaghetti or Vanilla pudding?
1.) Speggetti
2.) Pudding

Okay, maybe the last one is sort of funny. But it's pretty obvious that most people would say pudding. Who wants to clean chunks of meaty red sauce from their shower drain?

And why would somebody with a profound craving for milk decide, "Hmmmmm, there ain't enough fer 8 ounces here, gonna have to drink that grape soda instead!"

These questions sound like they were written by first graders with chicken brains. I'm sure that plenty of people submit great questions. Why does the "Everybody Votes" channel insist on picking the most juvenile ones?

Is there going to be another generation of the Nintendo DS?

I heard rumors of a Diet Nintendo DS Lite Jr American Slim coming out, is that true? If so, how could it possibly be different enough from the Lite to earn its own edition?

Is there any way to export my Miis?

I've spent hours upon hours perfecting my soldier of Miis, from my Thor Muller to my Ron Jeremy to my Danny Devito. Is there any way I can email or export my Miis, or do I have to resort to taking pictures of my television with my Kodak sticky film camera?

Help! Does Shining Force autosave?

I just spend like three hours slaying hideous goblins and progressing to Fight Level 4... now I have to go to school but I can't find a save option anywhere! Does this ish autosave? Someone please tell me, otherwise I'll have to leave the game on, torturing innocent family pets with looping 8-bit theme music.

What are the best games to buy for Virtual Console?

As you may or may not know, the Wii Shopping Channel offers virtual NES/Super Nintendo/N64/Sega Genesis/Turbo Grafx/NEOGEO games in exchange for "Wii Points" (1000 WiiPoints= 10 bucks).

I'm using this as an opportunity to expand my game collection as well as expand my reasons to be embarassed about my secret life as a g4mer.

So far I've put myself out roughly 30,000 Wiipoints and purchased Street Fighter 2, ToeJam and Earl, and Shining Force.
Some games (ToeJam, Shining Force) can be controlled with the Wiimote, whereas other games require old school controllers.

So to those of you who have purchased any of these games for the Virtual Console, what are the best ones so far? There are 200+ games available, so it's important to wii-eed out the men from the boys.

Is facebook a fad? When will it die?

Nothing makes me cringe quite like the phenomenon of e-social networking. In my ideal world, the internet revolves around the anonymous exchange of information, not listing "sex partners" and a desperate sounding biographies... I understand it's nice to "keep in touch" with friends. But isn't that why I have AOL instant messenger, g-talk, gmail, a cell phone with orgasmic amounts of minutes and unlimited text messaging? I have never had a facebook and hopefully, I never will. Myspace is the new Friendster, and I'm ashamed to have participated in both. What's left of my myspace (that I haven't deleted out of sheer laziness) has been eaten alive by porn-robot hyenas and flesh-eating spam viruses.

Am I nitpicking? Should I just blindly participate in this strange yet accepted invasion of privacy? I know nothing about Facebook, but I hear that it features many 19-22 year old girls in sweatpants.

Do you think this is a fad? If it has "staying power", is it the type of "staying power" that the stalker in your bedroom closet has?

Super Mario Galaxy Cheats

I'm looking for any fun info about super Mario Galaxy, whether it be cheats or stupid trivia or important things to know.

This is what I have so far:
Unlockable: 121st Star

There's actually 121 Stars in the game, not 120. To get it, you must first have all 120 Stars. This unlocks Luigi. Beat the entire game with Luigi, defeating Bowser at the end. After this, a new galaxy will be unlocked. Finish this final galaxy to get the 121st Star.

Unlockable: Luigi

Here's how to get Luigi. First, get all 120 Stars in the game. Then, return to Rosalina (on the Comet Observatory) and request to fight Bowser one last time. Defeat him and let the credits roll. Thereafter, a message will appear telling you Luigi is a playable character.Luigi controls slightly differently than Mario; in fact, the differences mirror those in Mario All-Stars' Lost Levels. In short, he jumps much higher (making some puzzles easier), but he has less traction, so he slides around a lot more.

The internet tells me there are 120 stars, and as you know you can "complete the riveting story" after 60. After 120 are completed, will there be another animated segment? Will we get to see Mario and Peach doing some PG-13 stuff? Or if you win all of the stars, does that Rosalina bitch just say, "Oh snap you won the game, now I finally have some free time so ima go to the hair salon n' get my roots touched up".

Is there any way to use a horizontal keyboard while texting?

It would be way cool if I could text it horizontally. Is there any way to make my fantasies come true?

Total Royalty asked a question in Apple on July 05, 2007 09:02:

A basic question about selecting text.

Why come is there no why to select text? When I want to highlight a URL and delete the whole thing as opposed to deleting click by click, this gets very annoying. Am I missing something?

Oh whoa, I didn't know the iPhone did that. I have one of "those moms" as well so that's a really useful feature. It beats my usual method of deleting the message as soon as I hear her voice. Sorry mom :(

Mass email deletion on iPhone email??!!

Don't get me wrong, I'm completely happy with my sleek little device. It's probably the best thing that's happened to me since I learned how to make a sandwhich. But... there is no mass deletion in email. And this "deleteone at a time" thing is crap especially when it's loading everything off gmail/yahoo onto the phone and I don't want it there. So now I have to go delete hundreds of emails and then delete them out of the trash. There may be a faster fix for this but I haven't visited forums to find out. It's annoying though. Is there a better fix for this?

I hate the Ringtones.

Anybody else find the iPhone ringtones a bit lacking? They aren't very loud, either.
