keyboard, Opera, wireless, wii
...
In case you haven't heard
the news, the Internet Channel on the Nintendo Wii was updated this week.
Amongst other things, it now supports USB keyboards, including wireless ones (but not Bluetooth).
Here's what
Nintendo says:
"The Classic Keyboard 200, manufactured and sold by Logitech, is compatible with Nintendo's Wii console and most other standard USB keyboards should be compatible."
An unofficial list of Wii compatible keyboards can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_USB_Keyboard_Compatibility_ListSo now I'm looking for a good wireless USB keyboard. Here are my criteria:
1. Under $100
2. No number pad or too many extraneous buttons
3. Will look nice in my living room. (i.e. slim profile, not too plasticky)
4. Mac-compatible (would be nice, but not required)
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Opera, nintendo, developers, wii
...
Since I started working for Opera, I've made it a point to get to know more Web developers to find out what issues are important to them, what they think of Opera, and how the Opera browser can be improved to better suit their needs.
One thing forward-looking Web developers are very interested in is the shift away from the desktop when it comes to browsing. More and more people around the world are browsing on non-PC devices such as mobile phones. Opera is very proud to be a partner of Nintendo. As the makers of the Nintendo Wii Web browser, we are providing a state-of-the-art browsing experience that people are using in their living rooms.
If you are interested in making your website extra Wii-friendly (though the Wii browser handles most sites just fine without any tinkering), check out this excellent article by my colleage:

Opera, wii, web 2.0
If you're one of the lucky people who actually own a Wii (which, from what I've read and my own experience here in San Diego, are still hard to find in most stores), I hope you've tried the full version of the Wii browser (powered by Opera, of course) that was released last week.
If you're still on the fence, check out this one blogger's review of how Opera on the Wii handles the most popular Web 2.0 sites:

Opera, olpc, wii, fraud protection
Actually, it's a really busy
week for us, right before the Christmas holiday no less.
Not only did we
release Opera 9.1 yesterday, Nintendo
announced today that Opera will be available on the Wii starting on Friday, Dec. 22
The feature in 9.1 you should look into is the real-time Fraud Protection. Other browsers have a similar feature, but not all implementations are created equal. It's too early to tell which methods of anti-phishing work the best, and the rapidly changing nature of phishing attacks further complicates matters. That said, we think
our anti-phishing strategy is well thought out and strikes a good balance between security and privacy. Rijk wrote an informative post describing the different anti-phishing approaches taken by different browsers:

Our CTO, Håkon Lie, posted a really interesting article yesterday about Opera running on the OLPC project's $100 laptop:
