I didn't notice the problem at first. The phone also has lots of issues with Bluetooth, so I got fed up once and tried holding it and using it the "normal" way while shopping and the face sensor was clearly malfunctioning compared with my previous iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G. I simply couldn't hold a conversation. In the time I was shopping, it hung up on my brother, muted me (more than once), went to the number pad and started punching numbers (more than once), tried to add another call and ended up editing a contact...
It was completely unusable. I exchanged it. I only briefly used the replacement that way and assumed that it was working better than the first, but I haven't actually tried to use it the "normal" way for an entire conversation.
I have always used case that covers the antenna band.
...how does putting human DNA into an egg cell make the resulting cells partly animal? Basically, the egg cell isn't much more than a container for the human DNA in the nucleus. If the cells reproduce, and keep duplicating the *human* DNA, and the human DNA determines how those cells develop and form specific functions, then it's still human.
I just don't see where DNA-coded information from the animal's DNA gets mixed.
It is very possible for the new device to encapsulate networking for older "legacy" DS games and allow connecting to secure wireless networks. There are several elegant ways to do this.
All network settings could be managed from the new device's BIOS menu. Profiles could be saved as "Home", "Work", etc.
Legacy DS games could see a virtual, open access point called "default". Alternatively legacy games could see several logical AP connections; named for each named connection that was configured in the BIOS menu ("Home", "Work", etc). These logical connections all bridge to the connection profiles that were configured in the new device's BIOS menu. These could be 802.11a/b/g/n, WEP/WPA/WPA2, and even GSM/CDMA!
Another method would be to suspend the legacy DS title and hook into the new firmware network chooser whenever a single logical AP is chosen.
It should even be possible for the new device to hook into the legacy DS game's code and hijack execution every time the legacy game calls to Nintendo WFC code libraries. This would be the most complicated to implement, but it's VERY possible and would be the most elegant solution.
Stop spreading misinformation! Updated Blu-Ray features did not result in a single movie that would not play on older players. It is simply the new features that were unavailable when used in older players. Inserts that recommended updating player firmware seemed to reinforce the exaggerated claims of anti-Blu HD-DVD fanatics. Now I see that even Blu-Ray owners are confused.
EVEN IF YOU HAVE A FIRST-GEN BLU-RAY PLAYER, YOU CAN PLAY *ANY* MOVIE, EVEN THOSE WITH ENHANCED FEATURES THAT YOUR PLAYER DOESN'T SUPPORT.
Got it?
Furthermore, content producers have (so far) made sure that 100% of the "Bonus View" content is viewable in 1080p full-screen on older players that are incapable of viewing the extras in an thumbnail.
I did read about a Samsung BD player for which Samsung had not released firmware updates to fix compatibility issues. These are the same types of issues that we saw with DVD when there were huge compatibility problems for the first few years. Early non-upgradeable DVD players costing $2,000 couldn't even play DL discs that were part of the original DVD spec. Early adopters were screwed. Even the earlier PS2 models had horrible compatibility as a DVD player. There continued to be numerous players that had compatibility issues with specific movies and were never addressed. This case of a Samsung BD player is different, because the player *is* firmware-upgradeable (as required by the BD spec), but the manufacturer isn't putting out an update and has not admitted to a flawed design.
The IR function of the Wii is for pointer functionality only. The Wii remote already uses MEMS accelerometers for motion-sensing in the Wii remote and the nunchuk attachment.

"That day...?" The pieces had been there for more than a week before the incident was sparked. The absurdity of mass hysteria never fails to entertain!
Before the blogosphere goes wild: Don't be a part of the problem! Initial reports are contradictory. It actually looks like Wal-Mart was ordering $300 Blu-Ray players, NOT HD-DVD players.
EVERYONE should stop reporting or commenting on this story until Wal-Mart clears up this confusion.

This is the flaw of the blogosphere...but it's something we all must endure.
Datel released this months ago. I have seen it in my local Best Buy for a couple months at least. No, I am not confusing it with their Action Replay or Max Media products. In fact, this very product was recalled because one of the homebrew titles could show something "inappropriate" (probably pornography).

Looking at the message from Datel as quoted in the MaxConsole post, it looks as if it was previously available only at Best Buy.
