24c3 hacked wiiReal Wii Homebrew with Full Hacked Hardware in the near Future?: Some guys hacked into the Wii memory and presented their finding during the 24th Annual Chaos Communication Congress (24C3). -
From the report
The guys over at 24C3 just demoed a Wii hack that is set to provide native wii homebrew in the near future (not running in GC mode, and with full access to all the Wii hardware!) They were able to find encryption and decryption keys by doing full memory dumps at runtime over a custom serial interface. Using these keys, they were able to create a Wii ‘game’ that ran their own code (their demo happened to show live sensor/Wiimote information, amongst a few other things).

of baggage ban on batteries

Baggage ban on batteries begins: Starting 1 January, air travelers cannot check in baggage containing spare batteries. -
Passengers can still check baggage with lithium batteries if they are installed in electronic devices, such as cameras, cell phones and laptop computers. If packed in plastic bags, batteries may be in carryon baggage. The limit is two batteries per passenger.
According to SafeTravel.dot.gov website, spare batteries are termed as batteries that are carried separately from the electronic devices. When batteries are fitted into an electronic device, they are not considered spare batteries.

The rules are simple:
You are not allowed to pack spare batteries in your checked baggage. You can pack spare batteries in carry-on baggage. However there are some restrictions in the number of batteries and lithium content.
Click here for more information at SafeTravel.dot.gov.

Looks like if you need plenty of spare batteries, either get those rechargeable ones or pack lots and lots of unwanted electronic devices just to store those spare batteries.

Netscape Navigator, the world's first commercial Web browser and the launch pad of the Internet boom, will be pulled off life support Feb. 1 after a 13-year run. Its current caretakers, Time Warner Inc.'s AOL, decided to kill further development and technical support to focus on growing the company as an advertising business. Netscape's usage dwindled with Microsoft Corp.'s entry into the browser business, and Netscape all but faded away following the birth of its open-source cousin, Firefox.
