Nintendo takes physical video gaming to a whole new level – a cool add-on actually wraps around the gamers finger and takes their pulse.

The Wii Fit Plus is due this fall and expect two new titles starring the very profitable and cute, Mr. Mario (and I’m assuming Luigi): Super Mario Bros. Wii and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Of course, the Wii will also “…enable users to compete with each other over the Internet. It will also offer gentle exercises for the elderly, and will respond to player inputs more precisely than the current version.”

Watch out Sony! Here Wii come!!

Yay!

Microsoft is offering a free download of Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC). Use Internet Explorer to download it – http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/download.aspx

This RC version will expire on June 1, 2010. However, starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours, effectively making it unusable (?).

Note, while a release candidate is considered a more stable version than a "Beta", this software should be used with caution:

"Information about Windows 7 is preliminary and subject to change. Some product features of Windows 7, such as the ability to watch and record live TV or navigation through the use of "touch," may require advanced or additional hardware. The features and functionality you find in the pre-release product may not appear in the final version of Windows 7. If we change the software before it’s released, we’ll change this information accordingly. We’re not making express or implied warranties with this information."

I’m not sure why people are so against Windows Vista; I have Windows Vista Ultimate installed on my laptop and love it!!! No blue screens, no frills, no problems.
