When you limit your compilation of computing wonders of the world to a mere seven, you're going to become quite familiar with lists. Crossing things off and comparing/contrasting will become second nature to you, as your discerning eye will evolve into an almost superhuman sense.
And that's what PC Mag's Lance Ulanoff has just finished doing. In drafting up this feature, securing the Wii as number two on his illustrious list must've been difficult. Citing the motion-sensitive controls and drama surrounding Nintendo's ability to bring the supply up to the demand as the main reasons for its fascination, Lance forgot to mention that the Wii is damn near the best time one can have with company anymore. Not since Pictionary can we think of such a universally enjoyed social activity.
[Thanks, Neal! We had ourselves a good laugh at this.]

Ha ha on a PC site. At that high a price without even a bundle. And the freaking fake Wii DVD is inserted wrong.

Considering the some of the other things he considers wonders, the iPhone and Microsoft's table computer, I'm surprised the Wii doesn't make the top. Most of the list is pretty lame.

I must've laughed at that for about 20 minutes.

Too funny! Maybe putting the disk in backwards made the slot light stay lit in the pictures.

I thought it had something to do with its processor effeciency, or something
really the article (and list) makes no sense, although that picture is funny as hell

We know Metal Link. It's just that Wii isn't even a PC and made their list but just didn't top it.
