There is a new Wii modchip called the WiiXT that lets you play any region backups as well as DVD’s! There are a bunch of other nifty features you may find interesting like the ability to disable the modchip via USB dongle. I hear the WiiXT is around $60? Worth every penny if you ask me. You might want to note however that some soldering is required to install the modchip.
If Vista’s Aero Interface with Flip 3D isn’t good enough for you and you really dig Expose on the Mac then today is your lucky day. A new app named My Expose lets you view an instant tiled display of your opened windows just like OSX. To use My Expose you’ll first need to have/download+install Visual C++ 2005 from Microsoft and you must be already running the Aero Interface.

BTW, My Expose only works on 32-bit versions thus far…
Apparently the Nintendo Wii has already been hacked and a modchip is now available that allows you to play backed up games and imported games. =)
Looks loik its finally time for yummy to go out and get a Wii! >=P

Watch Video on your iPod
So you got a brand new iPod and you’re ready to watch movies and shows as well as listen to music. You can either go to iTunes and pay $2 an episode or you can do it yourself for free.
For those of you with TiVo recordings, head over to tvharmony.com and download TVHarmony Autopilot which automatically transfers shows to your PC and also converts them to a playable format.
If you already have a video file on your computer and just need to convert it so it’s playable on your iPod just head over to pspvideo9.com and download PSP Video 9. Install the program and open it up. Go to the settings tab and choose “SP/320×240/29.9fps/768kbps Stereo/128kbps” from the pull down menu. For widescreen movies, change the resolution to 320×176. Click convert, then One-Click Transcode and you should be good to go. The final step is to drag the finished file to iTunes, click Videos, and drag it to your iPod. In your iPod, navigate to videos > movies. Enjoi!
As far as we know you can also watch your DVD’s on your iPod but the Digital Millennium Copyright Act says it’s “illegal” so we can’t tell you how to do it. Those of you who are tech savvy pirates should have no problems though. Good Luck.
Cheap GPS for your car!!
Parts you will need:
- Laptop running Windows 98 or newer, 2GB of hard drive space, and a USB or serial port.
- Garmin GPS18
- Vector 70watt Pocket Power inverter
What to do:
- Plug in the Garmin, and install the drivers and nRoute and City Select map software. Take it outside and run the nRoute software to let it find satellites. Turn off the Wide Area Augmentation System to speed up the process.
- Mount the Garmin receiver in your car, parallel to the ground. The windshield mount works fine, but running it out a window to the roof will yield better reception.
- Familiarize yourself with the software interface and hotkeys. Enter a route. Drive.
