Faulty wii straps are becoming too problematic it seems,
even in our earlier wii and ps3 party,
it seems with overzealous users and some booze, the straps
will not maintain itself with just some string type deal.

Here’s the first challenge to Nintendo. Make a wireless motion controller that is like a golf glove!

Even techeblog reports of faulty wii controllers in detail.

Here’s how to break your controller via techeblog:

Okay, here’s a way you can store information on paper. All though it’s not in commercial stages,
this seems like a technological breakthrough for storage of information. We might actually travel
back in time to the beginning of computers where paper was the storage. Let’s keep our eyes keen
on the development of new technology. Maybe instead of a memory card, we can have all our
future information stored in a business card.

Named “Rainbow Technology”, the new technique is the brainchild of Sainul Abideen, who has just finished his MCA at Muslim Educational Society Engineering College in Kuttipuram in Kerala’s Malappuram district.

The extremely low-cost technology will drastically reduce the cost of storage and provide for high-speed storage as well. Files in any format such as movie files, songs, images and text can be stored using this technology.

Here’s another wii hacking for web browsing using some dns hacks via

More wii web browser hacking exposed!

Fred, the winner of our put MAKE on a Wii request sent in how you can get to websites on your Nintendo Wii… He writes:Basically it’s very easy but it didnt work until i restarted my computer. Most of the info was from here…

1. Install Simple DNS Plus
2. Go to Tools -> Edit DNS Records and Tools -> Quick Domain Wizard. Put oss.shop.wii.com for the domain and the comuter’s ip for webserver ip.
3. Install Apache 2.2 with the computer’s ip for both domains and admin@ip for the email
4. Install PHP 5.2 from http://us3.php.net/get/php-5.2.0-win32-installer.msi/from/a/mirror to the apache /conf
5. directory (make sure there’s a popup asking if you want to change apache’s configuration, un/reinstall if it doesnt)
6. Download WiiBrowse from http://kontek.net/mozy/wii/ or http://1337.lastunicorn.info/WiiBrowse.zip and extract to \htdocs in apache
7. Restart apache from the taskbar
8. Change the connection setting on the wii so that the primary DNS is your computer’s ip
9. Launch the shop channel and you should see google. Done!

I think this only works when the wii is getting wifi through the computer. Pages on the wii are cutoff but people have fixed this by using frames and it cant browse pages with javascript (Gmail) or view flash. Anyways it was fun, and thank you very much!

Here’s an awesome golf ball your night outings at the golf course.

Check out the Fabber wiki for a complete Do-It-Yourself topics on how to make your own fabber.
What is a fabber?

Fabbers make three-dimensional, solid objects that can be used as models, as prototypes, or as delivered products. They are widely used by manufacturers for these purposes. Fabbers use a wide range of techniques to make products from a wide range of materials. The quality of these materials and the precision of fabrication can be a major constraint on functional applications.

Someone got Windows XP running on PS3 via emulator via Linux OS. Well, if
we wanted to run windows apps, we’d just rather use wine. But we give a thumbs
up for the news.

You gotta check out wickedlasers, they make anywhere from a laser that’s simply
visible to lasers that can melt plastic. In the HackedGadgets article, we can see
how the high powered laser is being extracted from a blue-ray player. In short,
DIYers and hackers will now be able to get hands on one of the more powerful
lasers to be able to be used for their next gizmo.

You gotta check out the supposedly $50,000 personal helicopter. It is now becoming more and
more practically for people to actually own a personal helicopter. The only thing is, it doesn’t look
like it’s too sturdy for any kind of bad wheather. Well, looks are not everything, maybe it will
perform under pressure.  Hackedgadgets have some more cool pictures…

The AirScooter uses a dual coaxial rotor system that eliminates the need for complicated swash plates and greatly simplifies the aircraft’s controls (unlike a traditional helicopter, the AirScooter II uses motorcycle-style handlebars). The design also eliminates foot controls and the tail rotor. The company reports a maximum speed of 55 knots (approximately 60 mph, in keeping with ultralight regulations) and a 2-hour range from the 5 gallon tank. Power is provided by a 65 HP AeroTwin 4-stroke engine.

For those who like the concept of a coaxial rotorcraft but don’t have $50G to burn, the company also makes the AirScoot R/C coaxial rotor hobby model. The complete radio controlled package with 10 cell battery pack sells for $695.
