i just saw this work presented at a conference earlier this week. this isn't beer fridge 2.0, it's targeted at disabled individuals that would require some sort of helper (helper monkey was the example they used) for basic daily tasks.
i have a wii, and while my friends and i have gotten fairly worked up during play, none of us have come close to breaking a strap or launching the thing out of our hands. my sisters boyfriend has a wii as well, apparently he has launched it into the ceiling, but he wasn't wear the strap at the time. i'm curious as to how many of these accidents happened during proper usage. these are probably the same people that would have punched their televisions when the powerglove came out.
while i wasn 't brave enough to do with my new shiney toy, it someone else decided to see how much effort would go into breaking one of these "faulty" straps.

"Their strategy seems to be to use an "Office for Linux" as a bridge to Windows, similar to Mac Office."
How does Microsoft plan to convert all of us linux users back to Windows just by releasing an "Office for Linux?" Having "Office for Linux" is just more reason for me to kiss my Win98 partition goodbye.
