    Police confirmed in news conference a few minutes ago. That was the only article update I found.

    That's really sad. I was on CNET last month going through all his MP3 player reviews online before I got my Nano. He seemed like a goofy, quirky guy... like me.

    RIP :(

    So sad. How is it that his wife and their two small children made it back to the main highway and were rescued but he went out into the wilderness?

    Just tragic.

    I figured he probably perished. When he didn't return a few hours later upon finding no help like he told his family he would, then he had to have been in trouble. I guess he got disoriented and lost his own trail back to the car. I wonder if they found him naked if all his clothes were strewn everywhere. What a terrible way to die....face down in the snow.

    I wonder how far away he was from the car? Too sad.

    I feel so bad for him and his family. We all had much hope but in the end it was definitely too long to be out there without proper protection. His kids are so young too :(
    I know they always tell you to stay in your car in storms like this. However, I wonder how long you stay in the car before you start doubting whether or not you have a better chance by seeking help yourself.

    that had to be some crazy remote area where there is no cell phone coverage. That is so sad to hear. I hear you on that one Yonkers. Such a tough decision to make. Leave your family and go for help, or stay and pray someone finds you.

    The upper reaches of the Rouge River are pretty rugged; definitely not a place you'd want to be in a snow storm. I've been praying for this guy....and his family; but also for the people who run the lodge the family was headed to. Laurie and Dirk run one of the nicest places in America, and they are so loving and caring. I know they have to be just heartbroken over this. I know why the Kim's would have wanted to be there; it's a lovely part of the country.......just a bit remote. So sad.

    Police don't find "bodies" of survivors. This is so terrible, I hadn't kept up with this today, but man this sucks. I'm sitting here in my cubicle, thinking of a man who I've never met, seen on TV quite a bit a few years ago, but thinking about what he had to go through over the past week and a half, and it's just...I don't know. :(

    I've spent the first 20 minutes of my lunch break just reading up on today's stuff. Poor guy, poor family. Also all his former TechTV buddies, Kevin Rose had a segment before his Diggnation podcast last week asking if anyone had any info on their whereabouts to come forward, and...i don't know I'm just rambling now.

    RIP James.
