Yes, medical hair restoration is possible. Look for quality surgeon and get a better hair loss treat. Even hair surgery is good for immediate results with guaranteed results

I didn’t even know what the hell wii was until my kids wanted one for christmas. Nintendo is always coming up with something to stay competitive along with microsoft. The digital world and all of the related technology just keeps improving noticeably each year. My kids love the nintendo wii!

i like the Wii..but i think the xbox is much better. The popularity is is a good thing as more games will be available and i also hope they improve the controllers.

Wii is by far the best console beside Microsoft Xbox. Its the one and only game console that is so interactive in terms of user movements instead of just using a controller to play games. It have different kind of gadgets for different kinds of games that requires different movements.

My family and I had a great time playing with it during the weekends!

Because I’m so into music I love that they now have all kinds of instruments to play on the WII.

I know this is an old post, but I had no idea you could stream iTunes to a Wii! It never even crossed my mind it’d be possible to be honest.

The Wii is rapidly proving to be a hit in our house – with Wii Sports, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Mario Kart and Super Mario Galaxy getting a lot of play time. I have a 360 too, but there is definitely room for both in a household.

Anyone tried Wii Transfer from River Fold software? – just had a quick play with the demo and it looks promising – check it out! I originally found it on the Apple Site.

Let this be a lesson though. All this talk about the Wii being for little kids… guess what? Being family oriented, affordable and exercising wins out over the other overpriced consoles.

Great post, for sure, the Wii has so much potential,I mean , it is such a wicked product, just like Itunes, it make sense both of them working together.

When I was younger I would have thought the wii was for kids. Now I’m 30 and I was right. I’d rather play wii with my kids and nephews than spend eight hours glued to an xbox.

It’s not it being about apple. I mean it depends if you support buying your music or getting it for free.. Presonally Itunes is probably the best option out there that gets you your song while at the same time supporting the artist at a decent price. It’s like going to wal mart to buy this mountain rx bike or driving 10 min to sport tex to buy the same bike. WHo cares if you don’t like wal mart. YOu get the same thing.

Large problem with Wii over here in my city. We basically hit a shortage so their prices are extremly high. You can buy a wii for 320$ which is really expensive! I looked through the local ad papers and they sell them for 400 at times. One crazyness wii mania here. Everyone is goig wiii over prices XD

Awesome system. Always play with it at my friends house

I find that the wii is great for group fun and for kids, but there aren’t enough good games to choose from. Hopefully Nintendo will release a great lineup and soon.

Redkawa (www.redkawa.com) is one of the best Free Wii Converters. Xilisoft is next to that if you don’t mind paying for it…
If you have the pro version of Quicktime, that will work too for converting video’s…
…
The files arn’t tremendously big, but you might wanna make sure your SD card is at least 1GB.

I like that Wii is keeping it clean for kids. I have no trouble allowing my kids to play video games on their Wii because their constantly moving around with it…no couch potato action there. I haven’t tried Dot.Tunes but I think my kids to have it.

The wii i think has totally changed the way gamong is or can be done, makes it much more active and I think that is an awesome addition the video game line up. I think streaming meadia through the wii or adding computer compatibility would be sweet.

I am trying to play podcasts on my Wii Via DOT Tunes. When I try just using the regular version it says .mp4 file format not supported. I was reading that the Wii plug in only supports playing mp3. Can anyone confirm there is no way to play podcast on Wii via DOT Tunes?

All I gotta say is that streaming anything to the wii through the media centre is rather slow.

As I am typing this, the welcome page is still loading after fifteen minutes…. although it loads rather quickly on my psp, if that means anything.

There’s my two cents, hope it helps.

I’ve never heard a rumor about Apple and Nintendo getting together and making some video game / Media player hybrid, but I think it would be sweet to have an Apple Wii

WiiTv

iWii : ) LOL Ryos- It appears that Nintendo was inspired by Apple’s design ethos, whic, to be honest, many others have as well.

The Wii, from first hand experience is an awesome gaming console for the every person, and I’m sure in time there will be software that integrates the Wii with PC’s/Macs more seamlessly, but for now, it’s nice to see that there is a community of folks interested in turning the gaming box into a media centre.

I’m interested to see what the two USB 2.0 ports at the back could be turned into. It’s early, so we’ll have to wait and see. Expect further posts should there be developments in the Wii/Mac integration category.

DOT TUNES is trying to sell out with what I would like to call a half a** flash solution. I did a search on google with string “wii iTunes” and most hits led to DOT TUNES. Right now, the DOT TUNES’ flash player is hard to figure out, the interface is too tiny for use via Wii, and worst of all, my Opera is keep crashing when I try to play my iTunes content via DOT TUNES flash interface.

This is a great business opportunity for someone who can write a flash player dedicated to Wii that replicates Front Row interface or something along the line, then have the option on the server side to automatically encode iTunes/iPhoto/Moves folder contents into Wii compliant format, I’d gladly pay my $$$ instead of buying an iTV.

is there anything they’re getting wrong with the wii??

even seemingly unrelated magazines like the economist have been giving it great write-ups. and then, plenty of people I know who are the _last_ people I’d expect to ever hear talking about video games have been talking about it and saying how much fun it was to play on one..

for me, I just wish the graphics were just that one bit better. I know that’s not entirely the point of it, but it would have been so nice to have more impressive graphics along with the whole redefined gaming experience thing they are going for.

glad to hear about the promising mac-friendliness of it. also, I’m enjoying the variety of the articles coming on on maccast.com… keep it comin..

Glad to see you posting on this. One of the first things I tried setting up on my Wii is Dot.Tunes but the opera browser would never load the page where the tunes were being served too. It worked fine on my iMac and Powerbook in opera but every time I entered the URL it just sat there. Will have to give it another try soon though as the Wii has huge potential for this type of stuff, and for only $250!

Excellent! I was thinking about getting a Wii and wondered how it played with Macs. I am glad to hear that it does and this definitely puts me a step closer to getting one. Thanks for the article.

I have a Wii and would love to access the media on my iMac through it. But I must confess to being a bit chicken to try these apps. If I get brave and do it, I’ll post my experiences.

Thanks for the heads up!
