Monday May 29, 2006 Those of you who were at JavaOne, remember the game consoles in the hang zone? The Bash party with the Dance Dance Revolution box for the ladies? And the Halflife game against a pro-gamer for the boys? (where every match ended 0:25)? That was all nothing -- thanks to community developers and hack^H^H^H^Hextendable APIs, this is what we will play at the next conference:
PS: wii?!: "However, the name is unlikely to go down well across the large swathes of the English-speaking world - including the United Kingdom - where "wee" is a very common children's slang phrase for the act of urination. In Scotland and Ireland, however, the diminutive console will at least be appropriately named, as "wee" is a word meaning "small" in the vernacular of those regions." ... In German, "wii" sounds like "Wie?" ("Pardon me?"), and in French it sounds like "oui" ("yes"). European gamers are bound to have some interesting conversations in the near future.... >:-D
