Back in November, Popular Science scored a Wii system long before the official launch. And what did they do with it? They destroyed it. Accidentally, according to the editor. Faced with a startling lack of Wii Sports on their hands, the crew resorted to taking pictures of the mess and tinkering with the system's insides. Fanboys across the world shed a tear, but looked at the pictures anyway.Continuing their look inside the splayed system, this month's issue of Popular Science features a peek inside the Wiimote and its accelerometer technology. Apparently the remote can detect movements as small as five nanometers, 1/40 the width of a human hair. That's exactly the technology we need to jump around like a deranged kangaroo in front of the TV.
