Actually, Motorola phones check for a specific resistance across the ground shielding and pin 4. There really isn't anything software about it. A quick Google search provides a diagram (http://krhainos.tk/motoplug.jpg) so you can build your own.
I don't believe that to be an issue considering the the Shop Channel is more than just the opera browser. It also contains tools to convert (compile, encrypt and sign) the VC files that are downloaded into Wii Channels. Also, wouldn't holding back the browser release give Nintendo\Opera time to see what techniques are being used and better protect against this?
Actually, Microsoft and Sony sell their consoles at a loss.
It has been stated several places (http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060915-775 2.html) that Nintendo is not selling the Wii or any of it's accessories (the remotes, nunchucks, etc) at a loss. They make profit on everything they sell.
Well, considering that the AMD parts they are talking about are based upon Intel's x86 standard, the compiled result should be pretty similar if not exact when compiled with Intel hardware. That would explain differences in compliation. Stability and speed could be checked with a few benchmarks.
Actually, you might find that robotics is becoming more popular (and shows like Battlebots prove this point). When I was in high school, and it wasn't that long ago, we started a robotics club. It was a team for the nationally run FIRST Robotics (http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/) competition. Geeky as it sounds, it got a lot of student interest . Not just the team, but even the stereotypical jocks were impressed and came to events.
Even now I get to help out my old high school team as they continue to compete year to year.
They have something similar already. If you have LoJack installed and file a police report, the car will tell the police, "I'm stolen. Come get me."
There's also an option where they will call your cell phone if the car moves without your keys so you can check on it. (Probably goes off when you are being towed.) http://www.lojack.com/
This isn't the first time Verizon Wireless has crippled a phone. Motorola's T720 phone was also the victim of a nasty hack. The T720 was designed to use Java and Verizon uses Qualcomm's Brew for their Get It Now service. Java was stripped from the phone, not to mention other features like being able to recieve pictures via SMS Messages or the builtin web browser.

Not like Tesla has any guide for First Responders to help in said training efforts. Oh wait, they do. https://www.tesla.com/firstres...
