Wii to get Super Paper Mario, lose DVD playback? [update 1]

Sep 7th 2006 2:30PM (Joystiq)

You folks are silly. From the beginning, Nintendo said that DVD playback would NOT come standard, and that an inexpensive dongle attachment would be available for those wishing to play DVDs.

If you don't have a DVD player by now, come on. I've seen them selling at grocery stores for 20 bucks!

Walkthrough: BitRocket - a killer new Mac OS X BitTorrent client

Sep 5th 2006 6:07PM (Download Squad)

It's got a darn snazzy UI, that's for sure. But unfortunately the developer of BitRocket is notorious for his "borrowing" of code from other BitTorrent clients without proper permission or acknowledgments. He didn't add the Libtorrent credit to the About section of BitRocket until people started to call him out for it. He's also the guy that is responsible for Xfactor, the Mac P2P application which violated the GPL and stole code from the Poisoned project. He's even on the MacUpdate developer blacklist.

I'm all for competition in the BT application lineup, but stealing code is not cool.

Rumor: Will Nintendo punk us with the Wii?

This is crap -- if true, it would just make Nintendo look extremely stupid since they've been pushing the whole "graphics aren't everything" philosophy.
