Because if you're a mac user, you probably don't know what a soldering iron is, let alone how to use one. ;)]]>Mar 2nd 2007 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/Mar 2nd 2007 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/Mar 2nd 2007 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/^Yeah, they just throw it away and get a new one.]]>Mar 2nd 2007 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/
ha ha Engadget, such subtle tech humor.

I'm an obedient Mac user; I only upgrade what Apples tells me I can. I buy a new iPod every 6 months. And I [i]never[/i] feels the urge to 'mod' or 'hax0r' my hardware.

btw, what's a parallel port?

The Wii has a cool, innovative pointer interface, a wireless network connection built right in, and the ability to display progressive-scan (if low-res) video. It's cheap (compared to almost any PC you can buy today), small, and pretty. Hacked Wiis would make great media centers, or even servers, if only one could run arbitrary unsigned code. I wouldn't give up WiiConnect24 or future VC functionality to hack my Wii, but I would like to see the opportunity to put on user-created content.


And even if people start buying and hacking Wiis just to use as Linux boxen, Nintendo still makes a profit on the hardware. Everybody wiins!]]>Mar 2nd 2007 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=45048]]>Mar 2nd 2007 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSje-sBKxQA]]>Mar 2nd 2007 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/Mar 2nd 2007 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/Mar 3rd 2007 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/02/wii-modded-with-lpt-cable-instead-of-mod-chip/Mar 3rd 2007 1:07AM
