games should never sell out. you can't sell out software. just make more copies.. and if you can't make them fast enough, get the chinese to do it.

One Wii to control the entire house

ut oh here come the fanboys...

Hey, can someone with XNA tell me if it is possible to do an HTTP post from within the game? Maybe 360 Home Control is next?

Although Life|ware already kinda does it with XPMCE + 360.

The hack is using the wii in conjunction with the TV to get a useable side by side interface (controls and media browsing on one side, and full window video playback on the other).

Everything else is just standard flash and ajax. The only thing that the wii brings to the table is a nice on-screen pointing interface.

I have also played with the idea of some special A/V gear that will do transparency or window overlays. So I can have a Wii that is always turned on and within the control webpage and overlay that on top of a regular tv show. When flash detects mouse movement from the wiimote, it would bring the wii webpage into focus. when the mouse stops moving, it fades back to the tv show. All of this would be controlled using IR or serial commands to the A/V gear.
Does anyone know if an inexpensive device like this exists?
