What makes the wii's remote a wiimote?

[Rob]

found what makes the wii's remote the wimote.
"we expect that the Wiimotes will be able to withstand quite a lot of abuse in the wild. We've already had a wrist-strap-snapping incident that sent a Wiimote flying into a wall. The wall was the decided loser of that battle and suffered a nasty dent, whereas the Wiimote emerged entirely unscathed."

you would think theres more in that tiny remote, all it is, is some little micro-chips and the battaries. cool little divice.

[SuperJario]

Very interesting Rob! Yeah you would think there would be more chips/Gagets etc in the Wiimote.

actually having worked with digital electrics for the last year, that is suprisingly full! when you see the inards of something like a GC controller theres barly any ciruitry and the space is taken p by the rumble metals

[Green Bean]

Yes, that is quite a lot, but if anyone of you have taken apart a NES controller you will find there isnt that much in it, although NES is about as basic as you can get...

[Foz]

lol it may be basic now, but it wasnt back when it was released

[budtom]

Yeah exactly the Nes was considered like a wonder in technology when it was first released

[Foz]

just as the wii is now, funny how things work out

[Dark_Storm]

I saw that filters and/or mute capabilities were on the devs list of considerations. I still hope it is. It's the only reason why I flip back to Twitterlator at times...that being said...LUV this app!

[wiigamers]

I use for tasks with specific actions/times required (like calls, sms, emails). I have dabbled with many other to-do apps, but I am not the type of person who does well with overly complicated GTD type todo apps. vob to mp4 converter (http://www.vobtomp4.com/) I would love to see a TiPB app! Even WPExperts already released one (and appearantly, it rocks!) The biggest chore on the current mobile website is the forum section (which really isn't even a mobile website), but also a read-me-later function, as well as an easier way to comment on articles with a saved profile would be awsome!

@Estie! Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it anymore wrong or right. vob to dvd burner (http://www.vobtodvd.org/) If you didn't notice a battery drop from 4.2 to 4.3, you're in the minority. And, in response to your noobish suggestion, yes many of us have tried a full cycle reset, restoring, etc. Go troll another site and try not to be a douche to everyone in the comments.

When all is said and done, the new messages are still a welcome change, I guess I'm just hoping for a sleeker, more original, fresh take on the clutter, the Notifications is.? mac flv to mp4 converter (http://www.convertflvtomp4mac.com/) We certainly need this case for our active outdoor lifestyle! Just because we are to enjoy the outdoors, does not mean that we do not want our iPhone with us. Oh contraire! We want to trail info, star info, etc., without the fear of the elements that are!

[wiigamers]

Sorry for the typos. Still hard to type on the iPhone sometimes.Google Apps for email Dropbox for files itunes for media/updatesSurprised nobody has posted about the new iOS update that's out. flv to mp4 converter mac (http://www.convertflvtomp4mac.com/) Voice turn by turn nav with. Plus some kind of integration with the calendar so that users navigate to the address in the Loc for an appointment.

If they can get rid of the click-wheel, why not this?Although mandatory four and five finger gestures would really suck for people who've lost a finger or two. I can't think a company with so much emphasis on accessibility features would ditch single point interaction entirely. They'll probably just make the home button capacitive too. burn avi to dvd mac (http://www.burnavitodvdmac.com/) UMMM SINCE WHEN IS ANYTHING ANDROID MAKES "MORE USER FRIENDLY" THEN A IOS DEVICE? I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT KNOWS HOW TO USE AN IPHONE 4 AND MY IPAD 2 TO GET TO HER GAMES AND APPS. YOU THINK THAT SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO THAT WITH HONEYCOMBS LAGGY OS? NOTHING IS MORE USER FRIENDLY AND EASY THEN IOS..

Man it's nice to have been grandfathered into unlimited data. Actually got a 3GS a month before the 4 and the tiered data announcements just to not have to worry about this. (I check the AT&T app from time to time when in curious. Last month I used 5 gigs.) (used lots of streaming video & also jailbroken and use mywi when necessary) transfer ipad to mac (http://www.top-ipad-video-converter.com/ipad-magic-for-mac.html/) Twitter? Not interesting, I only use it to follow some people. Facebook would be the way to go!
