Nintendo preps movies for Wii, coming this year?
I don’t particularly despise Wii gaming console. Deep down, the new Nintendo is probably the most innovative and family-friendly entertainment on-the-budget’s package ever built.

Many moons ago, I have this thought of digital surround sound processing will get discrete vertical sound field over your head, from a pair of ceiling speakers, to create a much realistic Home-Theater experience in your living room. Dolby’s Lab has done it, but with a set of speakers above the front channels. A much logical solution without having to install speakers on your roof.

Nikkie reports Panasonic DMC-GH1′s AF difficulty
