You may have heard about the new Wii Vitality Sensor that was announced last week at E3. It looked much like what you would have jammed on your finger while you’re sitting in the hospital. Well it’s entirely possible that this Vitality Sensor could be used in order to detect when someone is not telling the truth. That could of course be used for serious things, giving the common man a chance to get the truth out of someone. Could even give fathers a chance to know what exactly their daughter’s boyfriend is actually up to. Which is just about every teen’s worst nightmare. However, it could also be used for much more lighthearted reasons.
There were even hints from Nintendo that perhaps it could be used to go with an electronic game of Truth or Dare. Which in a warm friendly environment, might be alright. However, there are still ways that this could be used that would cause problems. If Austrailia’s Herald Sun is correct, then due to the way the sensor attaches to your finger and measures pulse and skin conductance, it could be more than enough to easily turn this into an at home polygraph. Even if the Wii never uses this to their benefit, I’m sure someone will find a way to hack their Wii to torture young male teens that would like to date their daughter.

Recently Zara asked the question:
Why Do People Join The Opera Campus Crew?
Our look at why people join the Campus Crew showed that one of the top 10 reasons is to learn more about Opera. So on the blog we will answer some frequently asked questions that we get at Opera, and which you may get asked by other students in your activities on the Crew!
We are often asked whether the Opera browsers are ‘open source’. Open source refers to software that gives users access to its source code (the codes that make a program executable by a computer), so that users can see or even change the source code.
Are they or aren’t they?...
The Opera browsers are not open source, and we do not have current plans to go open source. However, our developer tools Opera Dragonfly are open source, and customization of browser skins, themes and widgets are built on the open layer of Opera (and personalization seems to be the changes that matter to most users 
).
Opera has great respect for the open source movement, and our products run on the various open source platforms. We believe the most efficient way to rapidly get Opera out on as many platforms as possible is to manage the central code base – that way, improvements made to Opera on home media devices benefit our mobile and PC products, too. It means Opera has greater control over the quality of its browsers, so that it’s the same Opera core that runs on everything we produce.
Common confusions...
•... ‘Open source software’ can also be called ‘free software’, which is different from ‘freeware’. ‘Free software’ refers to the fact that there is freedom to access the source code (ie open source), while ‘freeware’ means the software is available at no cost.
•... Our approach at Opera Software is that the most important thing is not necessarily open source, but open Web standards (or just ‘Web standards’). If Web sites and browsers are created based on Web standards, users' Web experience will be consistent and compatible in all browsers, across all platforms, on all devices. This leads to an ideal environment for innovation and healthy competition in the browser industry, and ultimately gives the user a better Web experience.

Today Opera introduce Opera Fingertouch, a technology designed to make interacting with the Web easier and simpler on touch-based devices. Opera Fingertouch provides visual feedback when you hit a Web link, and assists you when you come across multiple links or other selectable elements in close proximity to one another.
To see Opera Fingertouch in action today, download the new beta version of Opera Mobile for Symbian UiQ, check out the video demo below, or read the labs article.
