Nintendo DS Wireless in Freefall

Nicholas Roussos writes "Wired reports about four skydivers who decided to give the Nintendo DS wireless capabilities a try while they were freefalling. 'The four sky divers proved that an ad hoc network set up using the wireless functions of a Nintendo DS works perfectly at distances of nearly 400 feet while falling 120 miles an hour,' states the article."

    There are a number of activities they could have done during freefall that would have been of some interest and/or difficulty:
    • Eat soup
    • Paintball
    • Frisbee
    This article was just barely worth the effort to post a negative comment.
