He'd probably really enjoy playing games on the Nintendo wii. I wonder
how that motion-sensor controller would work as a mouse?
Now there's a linux application, a 3d mouse. Can we get it to do
feedback, too?
That leads to a hilarious mental image of an out of control force feedback
3D mouse dragging the guy trying to control his computer around the
room. It'd be a fun advertising film gag.
