Is the Next Xbox the One? : The New Yorker: "It was hard not to be wowed when Yusuf Mehdi, a senior vice-president at I.E.B., walked on stage, turned the machine on with his voice, and began flipping, with little effort, instantly from live television to Skype to a room-quaking video game and back.

And I wondered if anyone really could."
