Nintendo announces Wi-Fi network adapter

Nintendo announces Wi-Fi network adapterI hear ya. The Wii and DS already have Wi-Fi. True, but this device is a Wi-Fi router/bridge for those who don’t have wireless networks. Even when you do have a wireless network, it can be a pain to get your Wii set up depending on your provider. The device will be available in Japan on September 18th for $53.

Obviously it resembles one of those Wii knockoff jobs from China, but it’s the real deal. The adapter has a switch for three modes on back: “Router”, “Bridge” and “Auto”. “Router” is self-explanatory, while “Bridge” connects to another router and then communicates with the Nintendo DS and Wii. “Auto” will switch the household’s network over automatically.

VoodooBuddy updates…voodoo

VoodooBuddy updates…voodoo
In this day of digital technology, there are still those who use good old voodoo magic for revenge. The VoodooBuddy exists to upgrade and bring voodoo to the 21st century.

Just enter the information of your most despised rival, then poke away at the doll as often as you like. Users prick the networked voodoo doll with pins, and the output is annoying spam, disturbing email images, and disquieting text messages and phone calls channeled to the victim. But if you go too far in your curses, it will take a photo and send it to the victim instead, in order to reverse the curses and expose you.
