Ah yes, Ginger

I had forgotten about that. Of course, getting "Good Morning America" here in Paris will not be easy!

so the xbox isn't selling all that well, and now it's no longer a game station (with real competitors and all) but some part of their world domination sheme.

Gates vs. Monkey Boy

When Bill Gates was asked about the XBox (a while back) he said it was only for gaming. In fact, they don't want to release a keyboard or mouse for it so that it will only be for gaming.
Now Ballmer (Monkey Boy) goes and says that MS has other plans for the XBox. This is stupid media tactics only to get in more and more news sites and papers. Way to feed right into it MacNN.

My favorite guess of those I've seen so far:
Ginger is a scooter that uses water for fuel.
Unlikely? Yeah. But I like it.
