Rumor Becomes Reality: Netflix Streaming Coming to Wii
Netflix has announced that their internet streaming movie service will be coming to the Nintendo Wii in Spring 2010. The service will be identical to the PS3 service added some months ago which requires a physical disc to assess the streaming content (as opposed to an Application installed directly on the console like the XBox 360).
Please keep in mind that with the Wii’s maximum resolution of 480P wide-screen, the Wii-Netflix service may not be capable of properly displaying 720P HD content. Although it is unknown at this time, chances are the HD videos will be downscaled to 480P.

Google Chrome OS or Wallpaper?
Not to defuse the whole thought of a Google Chrome OS, but the screenshots floating around the net right now don’t really peak my interest other than “Oh look, a wallpaper”. True, the two screenshots with the time “1:39″ depicted could have easiely been taken within the same minute, but why do all 4 screenshots HAVE to be the same view of the desktop? If you are going to leak something, please add more substance.
A New Twitter App for BlackBerry Users
I’m addicted to two things; my BlackBerry and Twitter. Of course I have a Twitter application on my BlackBerry. I’ve gone through three of them now, and I have gone back and forth between them, always hoping one is better. That is until I found UberTwitter.
A friend on Twitter recommended it for everyone to try. I was a little reluctant to try the application because it states it’s still in open beta. I kept TinyTwitter on my phone, and downloaded UberTwitter. The first question I had was “will it kill my battery?”. A test was started, I set the application to refresh Twitter every five minutes and then let it go.
I am happy to say my phone was off the charger all night and through the day. I am only at half battery.It will continue to refresh your Twitter for you, but it won’t pull pictures or information until you go into the application itself.
UberTwitter also has a leg up on it’s competition with BlackBerry Twitter applications. The settings when you download it allows you to fully customize your application, including refreshing your feed when you want it to, and displaying pictures or not. It also allows you to see pictures on the feed itself (if you choose the option) instead of using your mobile browser to view pictures and opening a new application.
It’s definitely the best Twitter app I’ve found for the BlackBerry, and it’s still in a beta phase. This means we’ll probably see some major improvement before too long.

Warhammer 40k Screens Released
Looking at this, just this image below, I’m all of a sudden rather interested in what this MMO might have to offer. With the lack of success of the recent Warhammer MMO, I’m skeptical, but it may bring some nice new feature to the industry. Enjoy the shinies….

Most Impressive: Dead Space Extraction for Wii
Most Impressive: Dead Space Extraction for Wii
Never before have I played a Wii game where I simply *forgot* that I was playing it on the Wii. Dead Space Extraction, the prequel to the hit 360 game, Dead Space, did just that. From beginning to end, Extraction takes the look and feel of the original and makes the amazing transition to the underpowered Nintendo console in such a way that it loses nothing and gains so much more.
