Motion Sensor Gaming is Better Than Curing Aids?

Remember when curing AIDS was a big deal? That horrible disease that infected people through their most favorite activity of all time, SCREWING!!!

I remember.

It was typically an automatic death sentence. A slow and painful death that ate away at a person until they were no more. A cure for the most deadly disease we know seemed impossible. And the worst part, celebrities such as Magic Johnson were dealing with HIV!

It seems, however, that is no longer much of a concern. TIME listed their top 50 inventions of 2009 and guess what, the AIDS vaccine is on there. Yes that's right, the AIDS vaccine. Apparently scientists have developed the first vaccine to immunize against HIV.

Of course an AIDS vaccine is great but what shocks me is that it falls 3 places behind "Controller-Free Gaming". Yes apparently using a motion sensitive device for gamins, such as Microsoft's Natal, is considered a more important invention than the vaccine for an extremely deadly disease.

Now to me this just doesn't make any sense at all. Yea controller free gaming is a nice little perk but honestly, I would much rather NOT DIE FROM AIDS than play Call of Duty with nothing to hinder my shooting reflexes other than my general lack of balance and coordination. But maybe my priorities are just all wrong. What do you think?
