    Childhood diabetes sucks, there's no way around it. Testing is annoying and uncomfortable for adults, much lets kids, and the testing technology isn't exactly what you'd call fun or interesting. Bayer is trying to make it better though, by creating a fun way to test blood glucose levels using a Nintendo DS.

    So I got a random delivery today, and I was quite surprised to see it was from Nintendo. Even more surprising was when I opened the box and saw they had sent me the two latest Pokemon games, HeartGold and SoulSilver. What was even more interesting was when I started to read the enclosed literature that explained exactly what's new about these two games.

    Word on the street is that Nintendo is currently working on the DS2. You probably already assumed as much, yes. But did you assume this: it will have tilt controls, sorta like the iPhone? I bet not. Or yes, whatever, doesn't really matter.

  • Nintendo considering adding Kindle-like wireless access to future DS

    Nintendo considering adding Kindle-like wireless access to future DS

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Amazon Kindle the first device to launch with built-in wireless (that is, cellular data) access?

It's pretty neat, I think I can say without too much grief, and is a model that's been copied by other e-book readers. Now it looks like Nintendo is considering such a model for future versions of the Nintendo DS (and not necessarily the XL, mind you). Exciting!

    Well this is the dumbest story I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of them! Once upon a time, there was a fugitive in Lee County in Florida. His criminal background—his FourSquare achievements, if you will—included armed robbery and kidnapping. He's thrown in jail in early September, but then breaks out using a fake ID. But then, only a little while later, he's arrested again. Guess what did him in?

    Japanese dude faces 2 years in prison, $96,000 fine for hosting 1,000+ Nintendo DS ROMs on Web site

    Here's a tip: this isn't 1998, and you shouldn't go around making “Web pages” that are filled with Nintendo ROMs. If you do, you could end up like the Japanese guy who's now facing two years in prison and a $96,000 fine.
