"Manny Being Mini," one clever columnist has already written. Maybe you just want to send a message, enough is enough with these guys we can no longer trust, and cut ties with the best player ever busted by MLB drug testing.

Both companies have crushed much larger competitors in narrow markets where their engineering talent has yielded marketable product improvements. And both have remained lean - with about 5,000 employees between them and small, stable management teams. Both have leaned heavily on slick industrial design. And just as Nintendo has become hip again with its underdog approach to video-game design, Zojirushi has been brewing up its own cult following with its sleekly crafted gizmos...
