Cool. That area of the world is a blight anyway.

At the center of the conflict is the unrefined metallic ore, coltan. After processing, coltan turns into a powder called tantalum, which is used extensively in a wealth of western electronic devices including cell phones, computers and, of course, game consoles.

DEATH TO SONY!!

No, but seriously, this guy is a fruit.

I love how the spotlight is on Sony when half a sentence earlier he says it's used in Cell Phones as well.... I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.

But um... I like talking on my cell phone, and I fucking hate video games so uh... yeah...

Gotta love all these natural resource wars with grubby little countries that either didn't discover the shit, can't figure out what to do with the shit, or couldn't manufacture anything with the shit if they tried!

You know, 150 to 200 years ago, there was a pretty simple idea for getting resource filled land that was occupied by others. Go in with guns, take it away, move the natives somewhere else. Why is anyone suprised that this still happens in countries that are basically 100-200 years behind the times?
