Well, Nokia airing a video of their shop workers playing SNES games in their Helsinki flagship store wasn't the best of ideas...

Have you seen the threads started by some people recently? They can't even search on this forum, let alone use Google...

Take fms' emulators for example. Some people were not able to vote them up in extras-testing due to not having ROMs for the emulator. Homebrew ROMs are easy to come across, but I'm pretty sure that free, compatible BIOSes are hard to come across... (C-Bios is the only one that comes to mind but there are probably more. Not many more, but there probably are more.)
