The decision Nintendo made to innovate around the control of video games and bow out of the 3d arms race continues to pay dividend, generating interest, and encouraging creativity.

    Another great example, Karl! Thanks for this.

    Actually it does not even take a Wii to control other things around us. It has been just yesterday when a friend brought his new RC-Infrared Mini in-house helicopter to impress the kids. While switching the channels at the remote control we’ve noticed that as a consequence of some according twists the hood in the kitchen switched on! What I found quite strange is that the hood does not have any sort of IR/RC receiver at all … May we have interesting times ;-)

    Best, Ralf.

    We have an interesting controversy brewing on our site with a lively dialog regarding Clear Channel removing a billboard advertisement we had placed. We are interested in your opinion if you can find the time to visit: http://www.msco.com/blog/mark-stevens-vs-warren-buffet
