Nintendo Blocks Homebrew Installation
ElementC writes "Sometime yesterday Nintendo uploaded the latest Wii system update. This update quietly patches a few bugs that allowed the installation of both homebrew and warez apps. Currently installed apps such as the Homebrew Channel and the video DVD library, DVDX, are reportedly not affected. Those not installing this update are blocked out of the Wii Shop channel and in the future may be blocked out of certain games. Team Twiizers cracked the last update within about eight hours. They're already on the case. Readers familiar with the architecture of the Wii will find the list of currently discovered changes interesting."

from the way his post ends, i'd say knew too much...
do not read this line twice.
Maybe he just couldn't write more of that. That happens to me when I have an idea and want to post about it but while writing it I start to see that it was pretty dumb so I submit whatever it's in there to get it off my head.
This post starts to feel like that too. Or maybe it's just
